The Black Tarot
This is a sexy sci-fi deck illustrated by artist, Luis Royo. There are a lot of scantily clad women and sci-fi monsters in this one. I do find some of the images quite sexy, and it's full of nudes. The images don't seem to have much to do with the card meanings, though.
The suits are wands, chalices, swords and pentacles. The titles are on the cards in Spanish, English, French and German. The pips aren't illustrated, but the majors, aces and court cards are. The cards are slightly narrower and a little longer than standard playing card size, but handle well. I find them just a little flimsy, though, and would not want to subject them to excessive shuffling. I suspect they would not hold up over time.
I like sci-fi and am not offended by nudes, so I like the deck. I'm not able to use it for readings and don't know anyone who does. I'm glad to have it in my collection for the artwork alone.
I recommend this deck for the collector, for those who like theme decks, and for those who are into sci-fi. I would not recommend it as a usable deck for a beginner.
Of all the decks I own, this is my husband's favorite. =P
