Tarot Vintage: A Review
The Tarot Vintage is a wonderful deck for those that love the Rider-Waite-Smith imagery and crave a vintage, aged look to go with their reading aesthetic.
Released in August 2021, the Tarot Vintage is a Lo Scarabeo deck that takes the RWS images and has them on linen cards stock with this tea stained parchment aged looking design. The deck reads like all other RWS decks and yet has a captivating air around it.
Don’t these just look gorgeous?
The deck comes in a sturdy box with a little book that, while not the size of a full kit, packs a lot of information into the booklet.
A sample reading I did with the deck showed a take the plunge, go forth and know that you will have time to tweak and perfect the projects if you actually get started. Staring at the project without taking some sort of stab at it wasn’t an option.
Jump in and take the chance…
…seemed to be the main gist of the reading and that’s part of the reason you’re reading this blog post now. If you want to take your own Tarot Vintage for a test drive, you can buy them from wherever you get decks online. I like going straight to Llewellyn’s site (they are one of the American distributors for Lo Scarabeo) and ordering it from there. You can find it here.
If you like aesthetic and having your space look the part gets you in the mindset to do some serious reading, snap this one up! There isn’t much more to say about a RWS clone, per se. It isn’t a new theme to wax on about at length but it is a great addition for tarot lovers at any level.
