Dark and Sensual
What do you thing of when you think Vampire? Blood? Sex? Seduction? All of the above? This deck takes a look into the lives and hearts of vampires. I am unsure of any particular mythology ascribed to by the author and the artist, but the imagery and symbolism paint a beautiful realm of dark, forbidden and unappologetic pleasures.
Very Powerful Deck!
I find this deck mesmerizing and accurate. The blood element may freak some people out, but it really isn't as macabre as it seems. The blood in this case is meant to represent life, so this deck really gets its message across in a different and powerful way.
I often take them out just to look at them. True the cards don't have a zillion things happening on them, but I find those kinds of decks taxing and needlessly complex. We aren't stupid, we don't need a thousand tiny details to understand what the cards are telling us. What I really appreciate about the vampire tarot is that, unlike so many other decks where the characters are distant and passive, in this deck the characters appear to acknowledge your presence and seem to be active participants in the reading. Another great thing about the vampire tarot is that the booklet provided with the cards explains the symbolism of the artwork of all 78 cards as well as their upright and reversed meanings. The cards are also very well glossed, and are a very good size to shuffle normally.
I highly recommend this deck to anyone ready to graduate from simply reading the cards to really understanding and working with the cards.
The Tarot should be fun, and this deck is it.
While Tarot card divinations should be done with seriousness and even reverence, one should also enjoy working with the particular deck of one's choice. The vampire images of this deck make it the most fun deck I have ever worked with.
I devised my own 156 card meanings while using the gist of the card meanings offered by Nathalie Hertz as my starting point. One interesting feature of this deck is that some of the pictures force one to think outside the box, so to speak. In devilish fashion, for example, the meaning of The Devil is not of things evil. Hertz's devil represents things strong, vibrant, and sexual. Other cards in this deck necessitate approaching the card meanings from a more unique point of view as well.
For me, these unique differences of meaning result in more insightful and helpful divinations than I had been getting through other Tarot decks. I have been fascinated with other decks, but after a while the novelty seems to wear off. By contrast, I seem never to get tired of using this Vampire Tarot.
