Happy Virgo season Steemit!

Today we're taking a look at The Mystical Tarot by Guliano Costa.

This deck is definitely a Rider-Waite variation, but with trippy visuals, and really nice colors.

Let's take a peek.

The 3 of Swords and the 4 of Wands. I love both of these...

I always check out the Devil and Death in a tarot deck. I usually look at these first.
I really like the Devil in this deck. It reminds me of the really old alchemic images.
Death is pretty standard, but still cool.

The Magician and Justice. I love the colors in this deck. They are so vivid, and subtly surreal.


I feel like this deck really shines in the court cards. Most decks are kind of lacking in this area, but the Mystical Tarot's court cards are sweet.

The Knight of Wands and the Queen of Pentacles.

The Knight of Cups and The Queen of Swords

King of Wands and The Page of Swords.


I have some difficulty telling the difference between the kings and queens, since there are no words on the cards, but that's fair, since the difference between a king and a queen in readings and in life is many times subtle.

Here I did a general reading for today with the Mystical Tarot.

Anxiety and fear can be conquered by our shared commitments, with the help of our friends and loved ones.(9 of Swords into 4 of Wands)
As we keep trying and keep believing, our efforts will be rewarded fairly.(Justice)

Don't freak out.
There are people to help you with the thing that most concerns you.
It is also a good idea to celebrate and remember the energy and the times you have shared with these people.
You will get back what you deserve, so be mindful of your efforts.

What do you think of the deck?
Have you ever read out of this deck?

It's pretty and straightforward. I prefer decks like this to psychedelic ones.

Hi I really see what you mean by the vibrancy of the images and their alchemical reference. At first I thought the symbols at the bottom were astrological, but they aren't it seems.

There was a very fine alchemical deck at one point but it is very rare (and therefore very expensive) ... :(

All the best, Colin

This deck is so beautifully illustrated!
