Tarot Card Deck Inspired by the Films of Guillermo del Toro
Director Guillermo del Toro sure does love telling his beautifully crafted supernatural stories. I’ve enjoyed the films he’s made, such as The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, Cronos, and Crimson Peak.
Those films have inspired a deck of tarot cards that feature some cool artwork created by artist Tomás Hijo. It’s cool to see what his tarot card art take is on del Toro’s visionary films. Here’s the description that came along with the cards:
Let the fantastic vision of Guillermo del Toro guide your tarot practice with this sumptuously illustrated deck inspired by the haunting world of the award-winning filmmaker.
From the macabre world of Guillermo del Toro comes a deliciously twisted take on a traditional seventy-eight-card tarot deck. Designed and illustrated by Tomás Hijo, this deck features sumptuous original artwork inspired by the themes, imagery, and characters of some of del Toro’s most popular films, including Pan’s Labyrinth, Crimson Peak, and The Shape of Water. Featuring both major and minor arcana, the set also comes with a helpful guidebook explaining each card’s meaning, as well as a simple introduction to creating and reading spreads. Packaged in a collectible gift box, this imaginative set is the perfect gift for del Toro collectors and tarot enthusiasts alike.
I’m not into tarot card readings or anything like that, but even if you’re just a del Toro fan, having a set of these might be worth it.
Tarot del Toro will not be released until September 15, 2020, but you can pre-order it right now for $26.99.
