Tarot of the Unexplained: A Deck of Cryptids, Ghosts, UFOs and Other Urban Oddities (78 Cards and 96-Page Full-Color Booklet)

Davezilla’s Tarot of the Unexplained is a bold departure from standard Rider-Waite-Smith interpretations, replacing classical figures with cryptids and UFOs. While visually engaging and conceptually novel for fans of the paranormal, it may alienate traditionalists who value historical continuity and solemnity in divination. The humor, while charming to some, might feel trivializing to those seeking profound spiritual depth or rigorous symbolic analysis. It is best suited for casual readers and novelty seekers rather than serious occult scholars. Those expecting a direct mapping to classical tarot meanings may find the cryptic nature frustrating, though it succeeds as a conversation starter for modern mystery enthusiasts.

Readers who find traditional tarot archetypes dry or overly serious will delight in this refreshing alternative. Those fascinated by cryptids, ghost stories, and UFO phenomena will appreciate how these modern mysteries are woven into the fabric of divinatory practice. It is ideal for humorists and skeptics alike who want a lighthearted yet insightful tool for self-reflection. The deck offers a playful entry point into esoteric studies without demanding prior deep knowledge of classical symbolism. If you enjoy the weird, the whimsical, and the unexplained, this book provides a unique lens to explore your subconscious through the lens of contemporary oddities.

Cryptid Archetypes

This deck masterfully reinterprets classic tarot archetypes, mapping them onto legendary creatures like Bigfoot or the Jersey Devil. Each card offers a unique perspective on human experience, using these mysterious entities to symbolize hidden fears, wild instincts, or the untamed aspects of our collective consciousness, providing fresh insights into personal challenges and growth.

Paranormal Guidance

Delve into the spectral realm as the deck explores themes of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena. It presents these encounters not as mere frights, but as metaphors for unresolved issues, ancestral echoes, or spiritual communication. Readers can use these cards to gain clarity on energetic attachments, past influences, or the subtle presence of the unseen in their lives.

UFO & Urban Legends

Navigate the bewildering landscapes of UFO sightings and modern urban myths through this innovative tarot system. The cards leverage narratives of alien encounters and contemporary folklore to represent feelings of alienation, sudden revelation, technological anxieties, or the search for meaning beyond conventional understanding, reflecting our collective unconscious in a peculiar, modern light.

“The Mothman card often heralds moments of profound, unsettling intuition, a prescience of impending change that demands your immediate attention, much like the strange premonitions preceding disaster.”

“When the Alien Abduction card appears, it might signify a sudden, inexplicable shift in perspective, or a feeling of being utterly out of control, as if your narrative has been unexpectedly redefined by external forces.”
