RavenOfSummer Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I am trying to think of some additional decks with dark backgrounds, to come up with possible pairings I might want to add to/use in my collection. By dark backgrounds, I mean decks where the primary color of the background is a dark color. I have a few in my collection already which I'll list below. If anyone can think of any others I'd be grateful! Tarot Prisma Visions: The background of this deck is dark blue, contrasting deeply with the bright colors of the art and the silver edging Tarot Swietlistej Drogi: The cards are white and gold on a black background, giving an almost glowing effect to the art Marigold Tarot: This indie deck came out last year- the card art is white with accents and borders in gold ink on black background Oracle Shamanic Healing Oracle: This deck has wonderful, simple and colorful drawings on black background Flowers of the Night Oracle: Beautiful art with sparse color on black backgrounds Edited May 21, 2019 by RavenOfSummer
Raggydoll Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 How about the Dreamtime reading cards? I know there are others too, I’ll have a think and see what comes to mind!
Raggydoll Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Different art style, but still: Stretch tarot and Tarot of the Crone

ilweran Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 This is a cute little mini deck with black backgrounds (it's this one) that comes in a tiny box with a little book.
Czenzi Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 These are oracle decks, but the Gypsy Oracle Cards (Sibilla della Zingara) and the Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards both have black backgrounds or edgings. On this site, both the Threads of Fate oracle cards and the Soul Cards Tarot are black backgrounds with gold: https://houseofformlab.com/goods/tarot-oracle/
Swift Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 The Stardust Tarot, another Kickstarter return: The True Black Tarot: https://trueblacktarot.com/ The El Goliath Tarot includes several cards with figures set against dark backgrounds, but some light ones as well: https://theelgoliathtarotdeck.com/products/the-el-goliath-tarot-deck Finally, some decks other than tarot: The Moon flower art deck: https://themoonjournal.com/collections/art-decks/products/moon-flower The Swan and moon deck: https://themoonjournal.com/collections/art-decks/products/swandeck The Plantlore herb art cards: https://themoonjournal.com/collections/art-decks/products/plantlore-cards
RavenOfSummer Posted May 21, 2019 Author Posted May 21, 2019 These are wonderful suggestions! Thanks so much for sharing these, everyone!
McFaire Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I just came across this one on Etsy called Golden Hydrangea https://www.etsy.com/listing/689640993/golden-hydrangea-tarot-deck-may-20-june?ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1
McFaire Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 The Lars Kristian Holmsen Tarot, OoP but still less than $20
McFaire Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 The Cosmic Woman, https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/653198337/the-cosmic-woman-tarot
Decan Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) The Tinker's Damn Tarot is a dark one! ETA: nevertheless I checked quickly for the Tinker's Damn and not all the cards have a dark background; but the vibe is dark (well, yes, not the same things!) Edited May 21, 2019 by Decan
Emmy Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I'd like to recommend three stunning independently created decks: The Darkness of Light Tarot The major arcana all have this palette while the four suits each have a color theme. The minors are not quite as dark but the creator's art has an overall darker feeling. The Shadow Light Tarot An incredibly complex panoramic deck in black and white. It also has a minimalist mini-version with a black background called The Wander Light Tarot. Soul Cards A symbolic and minimalist deck with gold foil. Hope that helps!
AnomalyTempest Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 XIII Tarot: Nekro My daughter gave this to me last night and I've included a link to Benebell Wen's review. The pips are not illustrated however.

Caerrha Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Just a post to find this post back - I love the dark background cards. Only have the Shananic healing myself - but I feel the need for another deck I really want to check this post!
