Undersea Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Undersea Tarot is illustrated by comic book artist, Frank Fradella, who also created images for the Fradella Adventure Tarot. This deck has fairly simple imagery of mermaids, mermen, fish, and real and fantasy inhabitants under the ocean waves.



Unicorn Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

Much as expected, the Unicorn Tarot is in the Rider-waite style with pure white unicorns added on every card. Possibly better collected for the artwork than for insightful readings.



Universal Waite Pocket Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Universal Waite Pocket Tarot is a smaller size version of the Rider-Waite images redrawn by Mary Hanson-Roberts. The cards are 3 1/2 by 2 1/4 inches in size.



Universal Waite Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

Imagine the Rider-Waite with artwork in the style of the Hanson-Roberts deck. The Universal Waite Tarot is quite a pretty version (or clone) of the Rider-Waite, with more appealing, softer artwork.

Vampire Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

It almost seems like Tim Burton helped with the Vampire Tarot. Full of elegant vampires, bloodied fangs, full moons and desolate landscapes, it's refined and only slightly macabre.



Vanessa Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Vanessa Tarot is a cute, sassy, and glamorous deck inspired by pop culture heroines. It's light-hearted, fun, feminine and still very readable deck for the girl in every grown woman (or man). Packaged with a small tin along with a booklet.



Visconti-Sforza Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

A reproduction of 74 tarot cards that were painted in the fifteenth century, the scenes in the Visconti-Sforza Tarot are authentically medieval. The cards are not titled (there is no text on the cards at all), and four cards have been recreated to make the full 78-card deck.



Vision Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Vision Tarot is an interesting purely photographic Tarot deck. Each of the 78 cards shows scenes with real people and real objects - a novel change from the usual Tarot drawings or paintings.



Whimsical Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

While based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes, the Whimsical Tarot is not just for children. Created by Dorothy Morrison and illustrated by Mary Hanson-Roberts, this is a friendly, cute, but not sickly sweet tarot deck.



Winged Spirit Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

Winged spirits - angels - are represented in this art deck, drawn and placed upon a featureless monochromatic background. The contrast highlights the poses and detail of the central figures in the Winged Spirit Tarot.



Witches Tarot  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Witches Tarot overlays natural Pagan symbols on the traditional tarot structure to create a visually attractive deck. Created by practicing garden Witch and Llewellyn author, Ellen Dugan (who also wrote the excellent companion book) and digitally illustrated by Mark Evans.

Wizards Tarot (Kenner)  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Wizards Tarot is a tarot deck and a school of magic, where the majors feature the professors and the minors feature the students. Designed by Corinne Kenner and illustrated by John Blumen, it has photo-realistic digital art and a distinct Harry Potter feel.



Yeager Tarot of Meditation  Open in New Window

Deck Image

The Major Arcana cards of the Yeager Tarot of Meditation show scenes with life-like human figures and are interesting, using a lot of black and yellow, but the minor arcana artwork is of lesser quality.
