Occult Tarot (Rockpool Tarot)

They are beautiful, and way better than I thought! Such beautiful cards. I love them.

I loved everything about the design of the cards. I love the box and the way the lettering what metallic red. I loved the way the entire thing was packaged. I even love the art style on the cards themselves. The card stock itself was a bit thinner than what I originally thought it would be - I wouldn't say they are dangerously thin but, I would not consider them to be as sturdy as my other tarot decks. I will say that the instructions for how to use said-tarot should be taken with a grain of salt as it all depends on what you believe in. Infernals or "Daemons" were considered to be Old Gods that were demonized in Abrahamic Religion. King Solomon would use seals and talismans to bind these Daemons to do his bidding. I, for one, believe that Infernals and Old Gods should be treated respectfully, therefore I do not recommend using anything related to Solomon to "bind" and "command" these entities. To me, this is just asking for trouble - but again, it all comes down to your own personal belief and practice in the end. A very cool deck though.

Not that this deck is "gorey" or even "scary". Very informative and accurate. However, I feel it should've been taken more seriously than I was approaching. I didn't look into this deck further until it was delivered and found out that you can actually conjure and summon these demons. And God knows I am NOT experienced in that kind of power and was very ignorant. This is a great deck for the experienced, but I most likely will return them because I can't handle that kind of power. And frankly, I don't want to disrespect and piss off these otherworldly beings with my ignorance. Reading reviews, this deck shouldn't be taken as a "quirky aesthetic uwu" it should be taken more seriously than I intended. It's especially telling when I woke up at around 4 a.m, sweating like crazy and had a very strange feeling. Not fear, more of caution, bit of a warning. And to my suspicion, this is definitely a deck I probably shouldn't dive into quite yet

Incredible. Credible. I just finished my first reading. I modified some aspects from what was instructed within the booklet, such as the candle layout. Yes, there is a specific altar arrangement and direction to face for reading these cards. As always, be sure to cast your circle as the author also mentions. He also says to not omit the offering, or Lucifer will write your name in blood in the Book of Lies. There are specific instructions. This is basically ceremonial Magick. If you follow the steps lined out, you shall reap the rewards of answered questions! And the demons are true, and answer truthfully. My first reading was on point and very deep. The deck particularly utilizes the Celtic Cross spread, so it would be good to be familiar with that spread first. This is not for beginners in tarot or beginners in sorcery. Be warned. It’s not an “ask and pull” type of deck. You are summoning a demon and the additional 10 are your cues/answers. The author states to do one reading a day, maximum. Along with one reading a month, maximum. If you are an experienced occultist you may commune with the demons as thou wilt. Remember that. Regarding the Celtic cross being the only spread given to use, I believe you should remain with this format; however if you are experienced in Goetic work, feel free to do as thou wilt. The circle is now closed, my offerings made, and I feel sublime. The veil is torn open and I feel the energy beaming down on me. Dive in; mindfully. Remember to not be afraid. In all honesty, you should have Goetic practice beforehand and should have worked with demons prior to using this deck. This isn’t just an ordinary tarot deck; it’s a ceremonial magick demonic summoning and invocation. Keep that in mind. If you haven’t worked with demons before, do not start here. I mean it. My words are heavy because the work is indeed heavy. You will flex your willpower with these cards. They are more than cards, they are sigils and gateways, portals and callings. For those of you experienced in Goetic work, you will love this deck. You will. I believe you can adapt it to your workings outside of tarot, in a high magick sense. You’ll know how once they are in your hands. Do not forget the offering before blowing out the candles. Doing so will mean torment. Torment upon torment. So offer what you will, as the author gives recommendations, and do not forget it. This will enhance your tarot reading capabilities to the core. This will flex your spiritual strength to the core. This may be a test to many, but will prove a dark blessing for the few. I’m not gatekeeping, but rather giving you the facts of what to expect with this deck. Enjoy your communion with the infernal hosts of hell and get what you desire. Go in strong and capable - mindful and aware - and you will see for yourself that the gates of hell are opened unto you and forbidden knowledge has been imparted to you.

This is a wonderfully unique and interesting deck. While the imagery is not symbolically in line with the standard Smith-Waite deck (which is not the creator's intention anyway), it does follow the standard 78-card line-up. The images and descriptions of all the demons are fascinating; that alone making this deck worth owning. The quality of the cards is good. They are matte (not glossy) and as a result do not slide around in your hands like some cards do. This may be a turn-off for some people, but I like the feel of the cards. The card-stock is a good thickness and the cards shuffle well. The back of the cards is mono-directional, so doing reversals with this deck might not work so well. The booklet that comes with the deck is excellent. High quality gloss paper in full color and the cover has this wonderful "leathery" feel to it. The storage box also has this feel, and is beautifully designed with shiny red metal inlay. As a tarot collector, I am very particular in the decks that I keep. This one will be an excellent addition to my collection and I recommend it highly and without reservation.

I have never bought an occult tarot deck and this is filled with devils and negative beings and all that....but it is fabulously and freakishly EXCELLENT in giving guidance. I just don't get it. Also, it works VERY WELL if you use it to find out what has gone wrong and use the Angel Deck by the same creator to find out the solution. I was literally blown away with these two in usage together.

I have been researching tarot for some time but had held off purchasing my first deck until I found one I found myself really drawn to. After weeks of searching, I found this set on pre order. I knew this was the set I was going to wait for. I usually impulsively buy what I can get in my hands right that moment, so that was saying something! I was set on this deck and was going to wait as long as it took! The set looks and feels beautiful. Silky matte covers with glossy metallic detail this set is high quality and just stunning. The cards themselves feel sturdy and long lasting and the art just perfect given the theme. I cant wait to draw my first reading and know these will be with me for a long time to come. Thank you.
