Revelations Tarot Cards

Revelations Tarot was the very first tarot deck I got acquainted with as a beginner reader a few years back. At that time, I had absolutely no previous knowledge on the tarot in general and I wish I did because the deck is definitely not for beginners. Be as it may, it remains a very dear deck to me that I like to use often.

Revelations Tarot was created by author and artist Zack Wong and published at Llewellyn in 2008. It seems to be the only tarot deck he has ever published to this date.

Revelations Tarot comes as a set of cards and a companion book. The cards are sturdy enough to last but the companion book is however made of economical paper and might not stay nice after multiple uses.

The most peculiar thing about Revelations Tarot is that it was specifically designed to read reversals. Indeed, the design of both ends blend perfectly together. The illustration of each card is a colourful allegory that really needs to be interpreted with the help of the companion book. Failing to do so might confused the reader as to really understand the intended narrative behind it. As a result, the reader will need to refer to that book often. Be as it may, it follows the pattern of the Rider-Waite family and can be used as such. The symbolism is not exaggerated and is rather explained with positioned character(s).

On overall, I do recommend this deck to anyone interested in reading reversals though, according to the companion book, one side is usually positive while the other negative. This polarized way of interpreting the arcana will delight or annoy some.
