Unlock Your Inner Magic with The Wizard of Oz Tarot Deck and Guidebook

by

The triumph of the play “Wicked” and the eagerness for its upcoming sequel “Wicked: For Good” has sparked interest among fans to explore further into the alternate world of Oz. The history behind Glinda the Good (or Not-So-Good) Witch and Elphaba the Wicked (or Not-So-Wicked) Witch of the West provides a fresh perspective on our cherished childhood tale, “The Wizard of Oz” (1939). Yet, we still adore Dorothy’s adventure with the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, and her faithful companion Toto. A universe inhabited by wizards, fortune tellers, and witches offers a fantastic foundation for creating a tarot deck. And that’s precisely what Insight Editions provides fans through the “The Wizard of Oz Tarot Deck and Guidebook“.

This visually appealing tarot set, penned by Erica Davis and illustrated by Davide Ortu, caters equally well to seasoned diviners and beginners. As someone with a few years of tarot reading experience under my belt, I find myself situated between the two extremes – neither an expert nor a novice. The expertise I’ve accumulated thus far serves as my primary resource, but I still refer back to guidebooks for verification. This deck is a valuable addition to my collection, enriching it further.

The Wizard of Oz Tarot Deck and Guidebook immerses you into the world of Oz, as well as Kansas, by introducing distinctive terminology for the usual names of suits and card descriptions. This deck contains 78 cards, encompassing both the major and minor Arcana. It has four unique suits: Cans (similar to Cups), Brooms (Wands), Spears (Swords), and Bricks (Pentacles). Just like the movie, the artwork showcases a blend of sepia tones and bright colors, featuring iconic characters such as Dorothy and Glinda. Certain cards also depict familiar items from the film, including the Kansas twister and Dorothy’s house.

This cardstock boasts a high-quality, thick texture that’s delightful to the touch and effortless to shuffle. As you handle the cards more, their ease of shuffling seems to improve even further. Now, these cards might be on the larger side compared to some preferences, but the meticulous artwork and comprehensive guidebook more than compensate for this minor inconvenience. For beginners new to tarot, there’s a concise yet informative section called “Understanding Your Tarot Deck” that provides an overview of how this particular deck is organized.

In this comprehensive guidebook for every tarot card, you’ll find a thorough explanation that covers both the standard (right-side-up) and reversed meanings. Each card introduction outlines how a character or scene embodies the card’s overall significance. However, it’s also encouraged to explore the artwork and develop personal interpretations according to your current feelings and objectives, such as confirmation or clarity. It’s evident that Davis is not only an ardent fan of The Wizard of Oz, but also a seasoned tarot reader and author of guidebooks.
