The record
The Dark Wood Tarot is a delightful conjuring of shadowy tarot from creator Sasha Graham and artist Abigail Larson. With its roots in the Waite-Smith Tarot, the Dark Wood Tarot is a traditional deck with lashings of delicious darkness. The Shadow Path that this tarot deck takes you on is not about glorifying external wickedness but rather examining the dark impulses and places within our own psyche and soul. The Dark Wood Tarot is well conceived and beautifully illustrated, with undercurrents of black humour, sinister fairy tales, and classic horror. This is a fully illustrated 78 card tarot deck. It has a 22 card Major Arcana and a 56 card Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit has 10 number cards and 4 Court cards Page, Knight, Queen, King. The Major Arcana has traditional titles from The Fool through to the World, following A E Waites ordering. The cards measure 70 x 118 mm, which is a fairly standard size for tarot cards. The card stock is light and exceptionally flexible, with a smooth, high-gloss finish.
