The Gorgon's Tarot released on June 28, 2014

The Gorgon's Tarot is a round, mostly black and white deck with splashes of color in a few cards. The beautiful deck is designed by Dolores Fitchie using her discreet, tongue-in-cheek humor, it is a fun deck to use and read! My big problem with it is that it is way too large. There are other round decks on the market that are smaller and easier to shuffle. This deck makes it nearly impossible to get a good mix with the cards. I think the best way to choose cards is to spread the deck onto a flat surface and choose cards that way. Cutting the deck into three sections makes it a bit easier to get the cards shuffled and mixed well but I usually don't want to put that must effort into the act of mixing up the cards. I like to focus on praying as I shuffle not grunting in emotional pain.
This is a traditional 78-card deck is complemented by an additional Major Arcana card called The Blind Gorgon. This card can be used in a reading as a "wild card," or you can make up your own meaning for it. I find that many of the cards with the unusual imagery gives each card new meanings. The deck has a bit of a Pagan feel to it and it is just a lovely deck. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced readers.
This deck was published by Schiffer Publishing. They have many decks to choose from in their library. Check them out. I received this deck gratis in return for an honest review. You can buy them at Schiffer's website: www.schifferbooks.com or at www.Amazon.com.
