⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ross offers a distinctive blend of calaveras symbolism and classic archetypes, creating a visually striking tool for introspection. The deck successfully reimagines Major and Minor Arcana, providing a warm entry point into tarot for those drawn to Mexican cultural motifs. However, this book does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis of historical tarot origins or those who prefer stark, monochromatic traditional imagery. It is also less appropriate for skeptics who might find the specific cultural spiritual framing too esoteric. Ultimately, it shines as an artistic and intuitive companion rather than a scholarly text.
