I want to do something different today. It’s still a review, but a tarot deck review. I’ve used it for a while and I just can’t complain about it. I’m talking about the Incubus Tarot, by Davide Furnò and Charles Harrington, which presents a mix of surrealism, classical symbology, and gothic charm. Thanks to Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. for the deck to review!

Hiding down in the obscure depths of our consciousness is a world that only reveals itself during sleep, when the mind has fallen into the hands of the subconscious. As your inhibitions fade, the dark lords of Incubus Tarot appear. This nightmare-themed deck by Davide Furnò opens the gate to a dark and barren realm, inhabited by surreal creatures that evoke your innermost fears and challenge you to overcome them. With Charles Harrington's book to guide you, your journey through danger will lead to remarkable insight and confidence.
The art is plain gorgeous! Inspired by the classical Rider-Waite Smith, but with its original style and symbolism. Each one of the cards is reinvented in a dark fantasy, surreal world, although always loyal to its roots, to the point that you can easily identify most of them without looking at the names.
I consider the guidebook one of the best ones I’ve read, and it comes with a simple three-card reading that has been useful more than once to me. I am yet to try with a different deck, but I get the impression that it’s especially thought for this one. We shall see later on! So far, it is a deck that tells you things straight to your face without sugarcoating anything.
These are the decks that I like to use with more spiritual people instead of with those who might be just getting started with Tarot or divination in general. People might not take it kindly that you tell them something different from what they asked, so I would say to be cautious with this deck. However, it works great when reading for yourself.
As an addition to a witch’s arsenal, I would recommend it for those a bit more experienced because it uses reversal meanings in a new way, and each card comes with three meanings that could apply to anything in the reading. It’s tricky, so I have the impression it would be best for experienced witches, but if you plan on using it for yourself only, then don’t think too much about it, regardless of your experience!
