Whispers of twilight twist in the corners of your soul. Surreal images surprise your mind. Colors and curves delight your eyes. Bittersweet beauty stirs your heart. You change, grow wiser, and find that the world is complicated, but no less beautiful
The Tarot of the Sweet Twilight is a uniquely illustrated deck with artwork very reminiscent of Tim Burton’s films. It’s slightly surreal, vibrantly coloured, and provides a great jumping-off point for intuitive readings.
Aeclectic TarotThe Tarot of the Sweet Twilight is a unique and beautiful place where kindnesses are more poignant and pains evoke tenderness. Opposites blend and dance highlighting the beauty in the darker aspects of life and showcasing joy tinged with knowledge. While not a run-of-the-mill beginner deck, it is a powerful experience appropriate for any level of Tarot enthusiast.
The LWB in the Tarot of the Sweet Twilight provides brief, but quite provocative interpretations of the cards. Since acquiring this deck I have found myself returning to it over and over. It has become my go to, default deck and I have a second copy to ensure I always have it on hand.
