Ok so i am going to admit I am a HUGE Game of Thrones fan… if you’re a Thronie too. I’m sure you’ll totally get my excitement over this find!
I went to a new crystal shop today about an hour away from home which I wanted to check out on the marina. Anywho I was looking. They had a lot of jewelry, a few tumbles to choose from, a few points, nothing was jumping out at me. I wasn’t connecting with anything really and I’m not gonna lie I was a little bummed. So I decided to just buy an agate slice and a couple of little geodes for my Wunderkammer (cabinet of curiosities). I had to go home with something. We went all that way.
As I was paying for my items I was looking around… as you do and i spotted a box that said ‘Game of Thrones Tarot’. So I think that I may have given the poor lady that owns the shop a fright with the squeal that i made. But I just could not believe what I was looking at. Mum thought I had hurt myself. If I could have melted into a puddle on the floor i would have.
I found my tarot deck today. I swear this was just the tarot deck i have wanted but didn’t think that it existed.
Some clever little clogs out there has adapted the thrones characters into the elements of the tarot. And if you understand the characters o m goodness they are spot on!
@rachel21 omg I hope you can find them! I promise you won’t be disappointed. I mean it’s things like the Queen of Swords is… Cersei! They’re just brilliant.
@marsha thank you so much for finding where you can buy them. I so hope anyone who wants one can get a deck.
@Artemisia me to books definatly no#1 hands down. And I agree about most of the tv series. Ok so to answer your question… Design by Michael Morris, Text by Liz Dean and Illustrations by Craig Ross and Published by Chronicle Books. And it’s full Title is Game of Thrones Tarot Deck and Guidebook.
Oh now that would be cool! Law and Order is just brilliant.
Poor lady she must have wondered what kind of creature entered her store. I already have a voice that sounds like a deranged chipmunk. Oh but when I get squeaky… I sound like a chipmunk who’s swallowed helium.
There’s probably been enough characters on all the Law and Order spin off’s to fill out a full deck. I can see Jack McCoy as the Magician and … someone needs to make this for me!!! LOL!
@jessica72 Ha! Well of course it’s Ramsay Bolton! But what card is Tywin Lannister? That meme is hilarious, but picture this: I watched the entire series with my parents… and I am massively uncomfortable seeing people just kissing on TV… I did have to explain a lot of what was happening to my mom, how freaking uncomfortable was that? Hahahahahahahahaha! I would love that set too. @Amethyst Law & Order Tarot: John Munch as High Priest, Olivia Benson as the Heirophant? Dun. Dun.
I would have squealed out loud too- what a find, @jessica72! And wow, this is such a great way to get into tarot- anyone who understands the characters will know the meanings of the cards they appear on, it’s actually a really great way to study the cards
Not to mention that GoT tarot seems like a great way to warm up for the upcoming GoT prequel House of the Dragon
Thanks so much for sharing, Jessica- enjoy your gorgeous new deck!
