Deviant Moon Tarot Book

I don't know what I was expecting, but it was nothing as beautiful and magical as this book actually is. First of all, it's the most in depth and fascinating tarot book I've ever owned. I love that the author still encourages intuitive reading, despite the extensive amount of information given on each card. Secondly, it's a stunning collection of art. It's full of beautiful, full page, full colour images of each card and the story of how this deck was created, including early sketches and inspirations. It's all bound together in a huge hard backed book of absolutely top-notch quality. This book is without doubt the best tarot book you will ever purchase.

I thought this book was a bit much price wise when I ordered it yesterday. But fare enough as it's the next day delivery. But now it's actually been in my hands for 10 minutes. It more than worth the money. Fantastic art work & write up by the wonderful, creative Patrick Valenza. I will be gaining a collection just because of the book. The cards are amazing. I bought those months ago. But needed a guild with some of them. Glad I did this. What an inspiration.

The book is heavy. I don't now what I expected. It covers every one on the major and minor arcana, with definitions and interpretations and insight into the artist. Very pleased with the whole thing.Definately disturbing.

I cannot wait to delve into the bones of this book! As you can see, it's worth the price for the artwork alone.I bought it to go with my Deviant Moon deck (because all tarot decks read slightly differently to each other) but would have paid for just the art. Any Dali fan (such as myself!) would adore this book and Patrick Valenza's imagination for the bizarre, whether they read tarot or not.

This is the best Guide Book for a tarot deck I have ever had the chance to purchase/read but it is so much more than that.The cover is so striking and I love the attention to detail even the feel of the book makes you know it was worth every penny. You can really tell that Patrick Valenza put his all into this book. It is truly one of a kind and it is fascinating to read all about the background behind the Deviant Moon Deck and to read about the creator Patrick Valenza. I highly recommend this to anyone who has the Deviant Moon deck and wants to learn more about it. You won't regret buying it!

Having just put the book down I came here to review it, only to find most has been said before and there is little to add. But I will try.Just as the cards themselves have readily identifiable echoes of more familiar decks, so it is with the descriptions and interpretations. A feel for the old but with original and very intuitive new takes, which are a breath of fresh air.The deck, and the book, took a lifetime to mature, and it shows in the best of ways.An extraordinary tarot needs an extraordinary book to go with it, and that is exactly what this book is.

This book is a work of art in itself. Although there are meanings for the cards it is so much more. Each card is fully presented along with information about the development and history of the deck. The artist lays bare his creative process while opening the door into the world of The Deviant Moon. Not only is this an amazing book about the Tarot it also makes a stunning coffee table book of beautiful artwork.

WoW!! What a book! Love it :)It's a chunky monkey and it's a 5* plus from me.... Love the history behind it and the biography is even more amazing.A must have if you have the deck!

I love this book! It's amazing. The behind the scenes of why certain symbols what chosen for certain cards is so interesting. Plus the in depth descriptions of what the meanings behind the cards. It's perfect.

Riktigt fin bok 😍 super som komplement till samma tarotkortlek, och öht för alla som älskar Patrick Valenzas verk! Rekommenderas!

Se conoscete il mazzo di deviant moon, allora questo libro vi porterà alla scoperta dei segreti di Patrick Valenza. Dalla sua infanzia alla scelta della simbologia in tutti gli arcani, minori compresi. Ricco di illustrazioni a colori e sketch. Merita davvero.

Un magnifique complément ! Très beau livre. D'une grande qualité.

Perfecto y mejor de lo que esperaba.
