Great Imagery I purchased this deck solely on the name and the pic on the box. The name "Deviant Moon" struck a chord with me and I knew I had to have them. After examining the images, I am in love with them! The images are similar enough to the traditional imagery to make them easy to read. On the other hand, the images have enough variety from the traditional images to develop newer and broader interpretations of each card. Now, we all know the Five of Cups is a card that is sometimes unpleasant to see in a reading, but the Deviant Moon version actually makes me giggle every time I see it. In traditional decks, the Devil card is usually pretty ominous and it's difficult to see the possibility of rebirth after the change, but in this deck, the rebirth aspect actually speaks louder. I find all of this refreshing and highly recommend this deck.
Not in love with it I purchased this and sold it pretty quickly thereafter! The artwork is original, and the images depicted are accurate overall. However, I found it impossible to read with. Most of the images did not speak to me, because they are somewhat cubist and fantastic in the truest sense of the word. If that type of art is your thing, I recommend the deck. If not, pass. While viewing the cards online, it looked like a great new deck to be had. But in my hands, it was a completely different story!
Surreal and beautiful Deviant Moon Tarot is a feast for the senses, and not a superficial one. Patrick Valenza spent many years planning and designing this deck, and he is paid for his effort tenfold by the stunning images he has produced. The cards are packed with original symbolism and invite thoughtful and deep readings.
This deck will take you places you've only dreamed about!
It's been described by many as a 'dark' deck, but I would describe it as a 'deep' deck, built from dreams and madness, like the inspired ravings of a shaman.
A wonderful addition to any tarot collection, and a real treasure for any reader!
Deviant Moon Review I started off to give this deck a 4 in stars but changed it to a 5 as I believe it will be exceptional when I use this deck regularly I love the feel of the cards when shuffling as well as the texture on the cards, the figures take some getting used to, I am very comfortable with them now - I find the LWB meanings a bit different than I am used to but so is the deck. I wish they had created a bigger book with the cards scanned but that is just me - all in all I would definitely recommend this deck to any Tarot Lover who can get past the figures - I find them to be quite explanatory when you study the card itself
One Of The Bes Tarot Decks In A While! I am very Happy with this deck. It took a while for it to finally release but the wait was worth it. Very dark but unique deck. Would highly recomend this deck. Good job Patrick.
