Da Brigh Black Tarot Cards Deck for Shadow Work

I’ve had the Black Tarot by Victoria Iva in my wish list for a *very* long time. I can’t tell the date when this deck was birthed. The artwork and premise are sooooo compelling, yet I’ve shied away from purchasing it because, based on the images I could find online, I thought this deck would be too advanced for me to read. Even after reading and studying tarot off and on for thirty years, I still consider myself an intermediate reader. After a series of interesting events in my life and long talks with my son, I let myself give in to buying this deck. (I’m careful about optional purchases because I live on disability social security.)I am so thrilled to be so wrong about this deck. It is so incredibly intuitive. It is as if the images spark open a portal in my mind. The art is delectable; the imagery profound. I don’t think this deck has any cards that I don’t like. The back design is perfect. The artwork is innovative, mesmerizing, and so very individual, but in a way, also classic—you can tell RWS has subtle influence here. After my initial review of the cards, I didn’t even bother with my dumb question of “Are you my reading deck?” Duh.The cardstock is solid but not too thick; it’s smooth, buttery, and easy to handle, even with my small hands. I don’t riffle shuffle anymore because of arthritis in my hands, I want to keep my cards in good shape, and—selfishly, maybe—I don’t want anyone else touching my working decks anymore. (Yes, I suppose that makes me weird.)You know the acronym RTFM (i.e., read the f****** manual)? For once, I did. I am notorious for bypassing any manual and diving in headfirst. However, I find I’m following an instruction from the book—I have a journal (on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CSSXQ78T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on which I am going to dedicate a page to each card, along with further tarot musings. By doing so, I am confident I’ll boost my tarot reading, knowledge, and intuition to the next level, and I can’t wait for that to happen!Wow. Fewer than 48 hours have passed, I have learned much even through such a superficial review, and I *know* this is my personal reading deck. When I read for others, I usually use the “Radiant Wise Spirit” tarot, or the Wild Unknown tarot. (If I’m reading for a cat-loving querent, I use the Medieval Cat Tarot.) The Black Tarot is for me alone (for now, anyway). I have an incredible relationship with the Wild Unknown tarot, but it’s as if the Black Tarot and I are magnetized to each other. No doubts. No hesitation. When a deck hits you like this, you need each other. Buy it.

okay so i literally neverrrr write reviews to start off, but this deck is literally SOOO EVERYTHING. it feels high quality, heavy, the cards are nice and thick, still easy to shuffle. LOVEEEEE the artwork. the artwork for each card is insanely beautiful but also the symbolism and just overall feel/vibe is insane!! makes me look at specific cards so differently and it’s just gorgeous. like probably one of the most beautiful decks that i’ve ever seen. i’m still a baby tarot reader but these are still pretty easy to understand if you’re still learning plus it comes with the book!! also for the price, not bad at aaaaall. i would so buy this as a gift for any of my witchy friends. incredibly beautiful like i just can’t get over it.

This deck is good quality in printing and quality of production. The art is also beautiful and rich with symbolism and personality. It is a SHADOW WORK DECK. This is not a beginner deck, I don't think. It's very deep and has a lot of messages for for the spirit that you may or may not be ready to hear. It's not mean or sharp or unkind, but it also will not pull punches.

The media could not be loaded. I normally don’t do reviews but this one is a must. I’ve been eyeing this deck for awhile despite the fact it may look “really dark” I bought it saged and meditated over it. I red the guidebook in detail, then I did exactly what the guidebook asked me: go through each card get a feeling of it and write down what you think or feel from each card. And I also read out loud each meaning while holding each card up right and reversed. The care and interpretation of each card is incredible and inspiring. Do not be fooled by the imagery thinking it’s “dark” or “disturbing” it’s quite the opposite and very beautiful . Each card has a in depth description and meaning. Surprisingly my least favorite cards in a traditional deck are my favorite ones here. Shadow work deck for sure. Deck is sturdy and cards slide with ease, great feel for them & good size. I posted my favorite cards I don’t want to give too much away but I also posted a video of me shuffling. I use this deck with the wild unknown they both seem to work well together. The artwork is incredible & it’s easy to understand. Definitely recommend getting used to a traditional deck first so you can see the awesome contrast between meanings of each deck. A ten of pentacles review from me

This deck's artwork is just gorgeous, I loved the deck when I first saw it from a youtube channel, the card stock is just amazing, very thick, the deck is beautiful, easy to use, the cards stick a bit, but with use, that should hopefully change.Now, I gave this a 4 star here is why, the Fool card as a line going through it, which with my OCD bothers me. I ordered a replacement, and that also had the same line on the same card in the same location. This is from the publishing company. I reached out to Amazon, and they are willing to refund upon return, but did not address the issue. So, I will reach out to the publishing company and see what they may do, hopefully replace the card for me.

This is NOT a beginner's deck. Let me be clear on that... this is a difficult deck to truly utilize and takes some time to really connect. The artwork is stunningly dark and beautiful. The book it comes with is as basic as any other mini tarot book. The cardstock used is great and very sturdy. This is by far my favorite tarot deck... but again, it's not for new readers.

I'm really enjoying my new deck! While I'm not a professional reader, there was something about this deck that spoke to me, and I decided to go for it. Please don't let the opinions of others stop you from purchasing this deck or any other item you'd like to buy with your own money.
