The record
Ghosts, in a certain sense, can be seen as the memory of the world, the expression of emotions, of desires, of incomplete journeys and interrupted potential. .. What counts is the reflection of the ghosts in our lives, in our decisions, and in our experiences. I wasnt sure what to expect upon opening the Ghost Tarot; perhaps a cookie-cutter Rider-Waite style deck in horror movie theme, with haunted castles and vampiric figures in black, or a deck that took licence with the imagery for the sake of a pretty gothic theme, and dispensed with coherent tarot symbology. It turned out to be neither. Its a dark deck in the literal sense; almost wholly set at night, in the moonlight, indoors in grey stone castles, where the occasional flashes of light, sunrises and sunsets, stand out all the more. But its a gentle, almost romantic, deck that rarely strays into horror or gore. What it does is twine the tarot with the theme of ghosts as missed opportunities, as lives cut short, as experiences so strong they imprinted on time despite being lost from the physical world. Every ghost has a history or was part of the story, as in the Three of Swords. Rather than being just a heart pierced by
