Tarot & Divination
Fun Fact
Hunt excels in creating an atmospheric, emotionally resonant deck that feels both scholarly and mystical. The artwork is stunning, and the inclusion of Jungian depth adds intellectual weight. However, readers seeking traditional fortune-telling or complex reversals may find the scope too narrow. It occupies a unique niche between art book, spiritual guide, and tarot deck, best suited for those focused on grief, memory, and spirit contact rather than casual divination.

📝 Description: Ghosts & Spirits Tarot

Illustrated by Lisa Hunt, an award-winning artist holding a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Jungian Psychology and art, this 79-card deck explores spectral entities through traditional tarot symbolism. Drawing on Hunt's extensive research into fairy tales, myths, and legends, the artwork presents ethereal beings to shed light on everyday human experiences. The set includes a custom companion booklet detailing the specific stories, historical context, and divinatory meanings associated with each haunting figure. Organized around standard card reading systems, the collection features 22 Major Arcana cards, 56 Minor Arcana cards, and an additional bonus card designed for questions that demand deeper reflection. The accompanying booklet outlines upright reading interpretations alongside a five-card layout designated as the Realm of the Spirit spread. Recognized within the divination community, the work earned the 2013 Readers' Choice Award for Best Tarot Deck from about.com and featured on Aeclectic Tarot's list of Top Ten Decks Published in 2012. This U. S. Games Systems, Inc. release suits practitioners seeking psychological insight, mythic symbolism, and ghost folklore in their card practice. It does not suit readers looking for standard lighthearted imagery or decks that depart entirely from traditional tarot structures.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Lisa Hunt’s deck is a luminous bridge between tarot and the spirit world, offering seventy-nine unique illustrations that blend frightening and friendly entities to illuminate human experience. The accompanying guide provides extensive research and divinatory meanings for upright positions, supported by a special five-card spread for deeper reflection. However, this book does not suit readers seeking traditional, rigid tarot structures or those uncomfortable with themes of death and the supernatural. It is specifically tailored for those ready to engage with spectral voices rather than passive observation. While the bonus card aids complex queries, the focus on communication with the departed may alienate skeptics. This is a vessel for connection, not just prediction.

Needed this for my research. A text you study rather than simply read. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.

My new favorite

Added this to my reference shelf. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Shipping was quick too.

Good but demanding

I keep coming back to this one. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.

📖 Who should read this

Readers interested in spirit communication, grief work, or ethereal aesthetics. Ideal for tarot enthusiasts seeking a deck that emphasizes connection with the departed over traditional fortune-telling, and those drawn to haunting, atmospheric artwork.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Spectral Communication

The deck treats spirits not as mere omens, but as active messengers. Each card serves as a conduit for dialogue with the beyond, allowing the querent to receive guidance, warnings, or comfort from entities that have crossed the veil of death.

Dual Nature of Afterlife

Hunt explores the ambiguity of the spirit world by presenting beings that are both terrifying and benevolent. This duality reflects the complex emotional landscape of grief, fear, and hope, suggesting that the afterlife is a place of varied energies and intentions.

Jungian Archetypal Resonance

Drawing on the artist’s background in Jungian psychology, the imagery taps into the collective unconscious. The spirits function as archetypes, mirroring the querent’s inner shadow and light, facilitating psychological integration through symbolic interaction with the dead.

📜 Historical context

This work sits within the rich tradition of spiritualism and mediumship that flourished in the 19th and 20th centuries. It updates the Victorian practice of table-turning and séance for the modern occultist, using the standardized tarot structure to legitimize and systematize contact with the spirit world, blending esoteric symbolism with contemporary artistic interpretation.

  3. If you could ask a departed loved one one question using the 'Realm of the Spirit' spread, what would it be?
