Details of the Wormweird Tarot
Solandia's Summary: The Wormweird Tarot is a true tarot of horror - there are few romantic gothic visions in this deck! Described as "an Absinthe-fulled descent into a Victorian never-land of plague, dark magick and monsters", the cards feature skeletons and piles of bones, ghosts, ghouls and more. The images were created using stage illusions and wax sculptures that were then photographed.

Excerpt of the
Wormweird Tarot review by Tabbie Norton: Being a lover of horror houses, B-rated horror movies and the Tarot, this deck seemed a wonderful deck to add to me collection. How surprised was I upon receiving this deck that it is more than a deck to throw on the shelf! Absinthe is wrapped in mystery and myth.
