Penny Dreadful Tarot Cards Don’t Come with a Beautiful Card Reader

I’ve never been one to care anything for the arcane, but I like some shows that dabble in those sort of things on TV. Take “Penny Dreadful,” I like that show, and large part it’s thanks to Vanessa Ives, played by Eva Green. Ives often reads Tarot cards to see what is in store for people on the show.

If you want to dabble in the mystical arts yourself, you can now get an official reproduction of those tarot cards from the show for $14.99 at ThinkGeek. Sadly, Ms. Ives won’t come read them for you.

The cards contain both the minor and major arcana, whatever that means. They do come with a 96 page book of instructions and I suppose you could find a pretty woman to dressed in Victorian garb to read them to you I guess.

Lord of the Rings Tarot Cards: LOTReading

I’m not a big fan of Tarot cards, but these Lord of the Rings tarot cards might just make me interested in a reading. They come from Deviant Artist Sceith Ailm who is working on a Major Arcana for her tarot series.

As of now she has 16 cards and we hope she completes more. If I saw a deck of these for sale I would definitely buy them and I know that other LOTR fans would as well.

The artwork is really top notch. I have no idea how to read tarot cards, but these would be fun just to have in your hand and look at on a daily basis. Head on over DeviantArt for more of SceithAilm’s awesome images.

Your Future Doesn’t Stand a Chance with these Zombie-Themed Tarot Cards

Zombie Tarot Cards

I had my cards read a couple of years ago and it was a mix of good and bad things to come. Fortunately for me, none of the bad things have materialized yet. Unfortunately for me, neither have the good stuff. Not that I really believe in fortune tellers and tarot card readers, although I find what they do (or what they claim to do) pretty intriguing.

Zombies are huge these days and even tarot cards can’t escape this fact–and I’ve got proof that comes in the form of these zombie-themed tarot cards. Instead of the usual suits, these feature images of the undead and the living dead that more or less ensures that you’ll have a pretty bad future either way.

Hit the break for more images of these cards.

The cards were conceptualized by Headcase Design for Quirk Books, so they’re not going to be put on sale anytime soon.
