Review of the Tarot Oscuro

[@astralmermaid]

WOW!!!! Honestly, you know me and this is not usually something I would buy but this deck is honestly something else. So much imagery in this deck , outside the box imagery. I love that the creator was not shy to show their thoughts in the deck. I love the high priestess card with all the little "things" at her feet". This is defiantly one i would have to hide though as Maple (4) LOVES to look at all my decks, haha! Great review Martyn, I enjoyed watching this one. Finally a deck made JUST FOR YOU! xoxox

[@martys_musings]

This really is an incredible one of a kind deck dani. There’s so much depth in the artwork and it’s good to see something that’s not generic! Yes, hide it from maple if you get it! 🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg!! This deck is just perfect to me: offers different scenes for each card/archetype instead of being too thematic/uniform and can be used for so much more than just shadow work. I've been using it daily for a month or so, and it's been the warmest, funniest, most validating and affirming friend ever - reconnecting me to playful, cheeky, emotionally-creative parts of self that I thought had forever been lost to trauma/maladaptive coping (from a repressive conservative upbringing). It's healing and caring without ever feeling preachy or patronizing... I love it so much!! Thank u so much for sharing this deck, more people should know about this masterpiece!! Also if ur ever up for it I would totally be down for an hours-long vid of u talking about/interpreting the art !! 🤗

[@martys_musings]

Like you, it’s possible my dream tarot deck. It’s incredible and something different. All these ridiculous RWS clones with dogs, unicorns and even pasta. Yes, fucking pasta 😭 I would totally be up for a live with you to discuss the cards for sure! We need to get this deck seen! 😍

[@TC-rv6sz]

@@martys_musings im sorry if I worded that last sentence confusingly!! 😭 English is my second language. I hadn't meant to word it is as a collab request, more as an expression of interest in your perspective/deep dive into the deck if u ever feel called to make such a vid! (Of course, no pressure/obligation!! ❤️). I'm more of a lurker than a contributor on Tarottube (and the internet at large) atm due to an ongoing stalker/safety situation so I can't do lives. Still figuring out how I'm going to do public online stuff safely 😭. I apologize again.

[@TC-rv6sz]

@@martys_musings thank u so much for the offer though it's very sweet and thoughtful of you!! 💕 I'm sorry I'm a bit all over the place in these replies... having a bit of a rough day.

[@martys_musings]

@@TC-rv6sz no need to apologise 😍 but yes, I will make a video when I’ve used it a lot more. Thank you for the idea 💡

[@martys_musings]

Ah it’s honestly cool 💗💗

[@moondaisylamoreaux8791]

I have no words for how incredible this deck is! This will be the next one I buy. It's dark and perfect.

[@martys_musings]

It’s honestly amazing in every way.

[@jessicareid517]

Damn my intuition was going crazy with meanings jumping out of the cards as you were flipping through them. That art work is very avocative and hauntingly inviting.

[@martys_musings]

That’s how I feel about it Jessica! It’s just amazing ❤️

[@Masculineintuitionreadings]

I really like the disclaimer at the beginning hahaha. Martyn, honestly, this deck was made for you.

[@martys_musings]

Thank you for making it 🤣

[@the_hermits_cave]

So glad you love it! Any deck that casts Leigh Bowery as the King of Swords gets my vote! Awesome deck 😍

[@martys_musings]

Ah me too Simon! Couldn’t be more perfect! 😍 thank you for being the best enabler ever! 😆

[@estelleriviere9672]

Hehe yes I love Leigh Bowery, he had been such a massive inspiration in my life when I started to make masks 20 years ago.. ⭐️⭐️ thank you

[@franmarley3834]

Absolutely love the art work ... the colours

[@martys_musings]

Perfect deck for me!

[@liviodeangelis3216]

"Nudity, clowns and horrifying imagery" that sounds like my life

[@martys_musings]

Mine too Livio. It’s like a dream come true love!

[@78puertas]

With that initial disclaimer I thought it was going to be much tougher, like the Pole Ka, for instance. Hahahaha!! Thanks for the video ^__*

[@martys_musings]

Oh I had to put it up as people can be sensitive 🫣 Thank you for watching 😘😛

[@grotapper6820]

Wow, what crazy wonderful artwork! Love it! Can you imagine having the creativity to come up with all that! You mentioned Hellraiser. That deck is definitely in that world. I remember watching those movies maaany years ago, and my god, did I have nightmares! 😱 Thank you for sharing! Have a good weekend 💜

[@martys_musings]

It’s just too incredible for words and evokes so much! 🤡😍❤️❤️❤️

[@estelleriviere9672]

Thank you 🙏 I m definitly also fan of hellraiser between others! The tarot is about my costumes and masks creations and my inspiration from movies, books and people ..

[@martys_musings]

The whole deck just speaks to me. Being a goth in the 80s, and a horror movie geek. It’s just perfect 💀🖤🤡💜

[@grotapper6820]

@@estelleriviere9672 Welcome! What a great creation! 👏👏👏

[@crossroadscardslinger6977]

I need you to stop making me want decks lol. I told you I need to quit buying decks!!!!! That’s one of the coolest magicians I’ve ever seen…. This deck is gorgeous!

[@martys_musings]

I knew you would love it!! 😍❤️❤️

[@star_seed_tarot]

It’s a cool deck, I love artists taking a risk in their artwork and not being afraid of what others will say. But I agree it’s a very you deck, I don’t see myself using this deck. The 2 of Cups depiction is amazing 😍.

[@martys_musings]

That’s what I think too Moran. It’s good to see something so different and beautiful out there. And for a mass market deck, it’s amazing 🥰❤️

[@anitaevans2432]

What amazing artwork (& no nasty baby...yay!) I can't decide which is my favourite...The Hierophant, or the Queen of Swords maybe 💛

[@martys_musings]

No muscles on this baby! 🤣 that king of swords is everything! 😍

[@stillinvideo]

I've been contemplating on getting either this or the tarot del fuego for a little while now. There's totally room for this kind of style in my collection. Great video lovely 😍 xo

[@martys_musings]

Thanks Marvin. I have the Del Fuego too. This one is much better 😍 xxx

[@ikalesunflower]

I love this deck Martyn it reads like a book. I often wondered whether it was a mass market or an indie deck as some indie creator's do sell on amazon ❤️

[@martys_musings]

It’s amazing B. I was honestly blown away when I saw the artwork. And I can’t believe it’s mass market either ❤️

[@spambotful]

That’s insane! Not sure if it’s my taste but certainly a fascinating deck!

[@martys_musings]

It really is insane! 😁❤️

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Very tempting artwork indeed! I was disappointed to see so many RWS based imagery though. It could've been taking a step further, is that a strange thing to say? With so many RWS clones already existing... Then again, the few cards that actually try something else, I'm not sure I could read! 😅

[@martys_musings]

I adore it. And even though it is RWS based. I think it works for this deck. I love the rawness of it and whole concept. Disturbing and delicious 🤣❤️

[@AstralLadyTarot]

@@martys_musings :D I agree on that!

[@martys_musings]

I need more decks like this 😅

[@estelleriviere9672]

What is RWS? Sorry I m French! 😆🤡

[@AstralLadyTarot]

@@estelleriviere9672 Rider Waite Smith

[@BrianGryphon]

Fascinating deck. The doghead person has been done (not as a Tarot card) but I can't immediately recall where... perhaps someone else does. The deck reminds me of the '80s Club Kids of NYC- Michael Alig etc.

[@martys_musings]

It’s an amazing deck. I don’t have many decks which I love completely. But this one for me, ticks all of the boxes. Plus having divine and Leigh Bowery included, is a yes from me!

[@estelleriviere9672]

Thank you so much ! It’s because it’s inspired by my costumes creations I make for clubbing and stage, I love of course Club Kids and Leigh Bowery, Divine, Nina Hagen, Clowns, horror , pagan culture, drag Queens , transforming the body is a passion for me 🤡

[@amandamonaghan1190]

Fabulous deck. One of the cards looked like Lady GaGa bad romance video. Thanks Marty

[@martys_musings]

Isn’t it just beautiful? There’s elements of pop culture throughout the deck 💗

[@amandamonaghan1190]

I’ve just ordered it, I think creators need to be more creative and like you said how many more RWS clones do we need? The RWS is beautiful but variety is the spice of life 😀

[@martys_musings]

Oh wow! I’m so glad you decided to get it. You’re so right about the creators thinking outside the box for a change Anita ❤️

[@SpiritofAvalon]

This deck is so cool! I absolutely love that the images can be disturbing, totally my thing 😍 it’s a shame that it isn’t spoken about more. I do have this deck but have not done a walkthrough yet but I might do, to get another video showing this amazing deck out there. Glad you love it Martyn 😍❤️

[@martys_musings]

Thank you Sandra. It’s homely blown me away. It’s ticked all of the boxes with everything I need in a deck. I’d love to see your walkthrough and hear your thoughts on it ❤️😍❤️

[@SpiritofAvalon]

@@martys_musings I will do that then 😊 it gives me Hellraiser and HP Lovecraft vibes as you say, but that clown reminds me of the one in American Horror Story Freakshow 😍

[@martys_musings]

@@SpiritofAvalon yes all of that! American horror yes! 🥰❤️ excited to see your review!

[@magdamanoli8753]

The 10 of wands just reminds me of why people refuse to play KERPLUNK with me.... I'll admit I do get a bit overeager.

[@martys_musings]

Haha! So funny and yes! I can relate! 🤣

[@thestitchtower]

That magician card though! ❤️🍄

[@martys_musings]

It’s just gorgeous 🥰❤️

The magician is a costume I made for me performing on stage a few years ago with other musicians, a giant mushroom costume! 🤡
