Anne Stokes Gothic Tarot (Anne Stokes Collection)

Product Information

Draw any card and be treated to the wisdom of the shadow. These images from horror stories and dark fantasy are executed beautifully and combined together into an effectively complete tarot set. For vampire lovers and horror fans, The Gothic Tarot is a must-have! The Six of Swords shows a small girl reaching out and grasping a woman's hand. The girl is about to lead the woman down a walkway of coals…her posture tells the woman (and us), "Come on, you can do it…" The Vampire mythos is not cute. I doubt if there will ever be a Vampire Barbie. I feel that the mythos is very misunderstood.

Many changes from the earlier editions - these vary from slight alterations of colour to extensive reimagining of imagery. The card artwork has been created by new artist Emiliano Mammucari, an Italian professional graphic designer, movie buff and comic artist, while the concept and text is by Riccardo Minetti. Minetti also worked on the Fey Tarot, and has long had a passion for the vampire theme. What have you learned? - so far, in this journey of the soul, what lessons you have learned from this place.

How does your Dark Guardian help you? - this is the tip given by the Dark Guardian to the querent on how to deal with these issues; the Dark Guardian shows here how he/she helps the querent. The Two of Swords shows a view of a man and woman leaping from a high window. The LWB states, "Test of trust, unity during adversity, taking a chance." Well now that's what a 2 of Swords is supposed to be about!

On of my favourite images is the 9 of Wands, which shows a young man kissing an older woman. Her face tells us she has passed on. The picture next to the bed tells us this is a couple. She aged, he did not. She has left him. The LWB tells us, "Losing what is loved, giving importance to things." Wow - This ain't no RWS - this is heady stuff! Your Dark Guardian - everyone has a guardian, and this card is the querent's dark guardian; this card somehow represents inner aspects of the querent, for sometimes the guardians went through similar issues of the querent, so they're there to teach to the querent the lessons they've learned. The Gothic Tarot of Vampires is a romantic, sensual, dark, contemporary, violent tarot that embraces the both sides of life, dark and light. Drawing on the elegantly damned vampire mythos of Dracula, Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire books, movies Dracula, Nosferata, Queen of the Damned, and role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade.

Anyway, may the auspicious mighty gods bless you richly for the wealth of artwork you have been yielding to the world. The little white book (LWB) is written by John Woodward, in five languages – English, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. There are no descriptions of the cards, and the definitions are extremely brief. The interpretations given for the Major Arcana are somewhat portentous and unclear for such important cards, but those given for the Minor Arcana speak directly and clearly to the seeker. Considering the brevity of the information given, an experienced reader will easily be able to impose their own interpretations on these cards. And, your music has become my music of choice. I'd rather listen to your music than any other music. In one sense you've ruined other bands for me because they all sound so dull by comparison. I'll be listening to a favorite band all the time thinking, 'I'd rather be listening to Nox Arcana.

Professional Review Anne Stokes Gothic Tarot Cards

Oh yeah - the LWB is in four languages, short and to the point, allowing each reader to piece together the pieces of the Vampire metaphor in their own vision. The popularity of monsters in fiction, be they werewolves or ghosts, is that they are not God-Like as we are. They are not human. We are allowed to hate them, and in ways envy them without guilt. Her hair is splayed out. Blood appears around her lips. Her eyes are lifeless…or are they. Blood is around his mouth - and there is a stream of blood/life-force moving from him to her. I get the impression that her days as a human have come to an end…she is about to become, a Vampire…death, rebirth, and transformation. A simple drawing that evokes an eerie passion. A selection of hand-made drawstring bags and foldover pouches. Many of these feature very special fabrics and some are embroidered. The embroidery is designed by us and sewn in our studio in Killarney. The bags are also sewn by our own seamstresses.
