The Tarot of Loka

While the U.S. distributor has promoted this deck as providing "a truly unique reading experience", the truth is this: this is not a divination deck. Instead, the Tarot of Loka goes back to tarot's true historical roots -- a card game. Designed with double-ended majors and modernized but non-scenic pips, the accompanying LWB provides no divinatory meanings; rather, rules for a card game variant of traditional tarocchi are explained. That said, this is a wonderful deck, with charming artwork perfectly suited to a gaming deck. If you haven't ever played the game -- but have been curious about it -- this could be the perfect deck for getting started in the wonderful world of recreational tarot. Includes two additional cards labeled Good and Evil -- just in case anyone insists on needing to make this into a cartomantic tool.
