Deck Review: Tarot of the New Vision

I wanted to shed some light on this new deck that it just purchased – Tarot of the New Vision by Pietro Alligo (artwork by Rual and Gianluca Cestaro.

I’ve seen this deck before and was always fascinated. I was in Hobart, Tasmania last week and found a gorgeous mystical shop called The Page and Cup. It was in this shop that the deck caught my eye and pleaded with me to buy it 🙂

I have had such a great time with this deck that it would be remiss of me not to share my insights with you.

So what is it?

This deck is kind of like a behind the scenes of the Rider Waite. Imagine each card is a photograph and shows a picture from the photographers point of view.

Tarot of the New Vision shows what is going on behind each character and shows you the card from a different point of view.

Examples

Is this just a gimmick?

It does sound a bit ‘gimmicky’ but I have been really impressed with the depth that I got from this new point of view.

Did you know that The Magician has a monkey behind his robe? Did you know that The Empress has 2 kids playing with a swan behind her?

Of course, these are the deck creators interpretations of what is happening behind the scenes but it does add a new layer to the meanings.

Will I use the deck for readings?

It’s quite new to me and I’m not convinced that I will use the deck for readings. I may use it if I get stuck on a reading for myself and want a different perspective.

What I will use it for is to add some new perspective to each card. I’m really enjoying going through the cards and entering the scene that the creator has produced.
