Oh, you wanna know about the “Tarot of the Abyss,” huh? Well, let me tell ya, it’s somethin’ special, this one. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my time, and this deck, it ain’t like the regular ol’ ones folks might be used to. It’s got a feel to it, like a deep dive into the unknown, like when you’re standin’ at the edge of the ol’ well at the back of the farm, lookin’ down and wonderin’ just what’s down there.
So, this “Tarot of the Abyss” deck, it’s all about the soul’s journey. You know, like how we all go through life, with its ups and downs, its troubles and joys, just tryna figure out where we’re goin’. The cards, they ain’t just pictures—they’re a story. A story of you, of me, of everyone, walkin’ through life and learnin’ along the way. And, oh boy, ain’t it a wild ride, just like a storm comin’ up over the hills.

The deck’s got all the regular suits you might see in a tarot set—wands, swords, pentacles, and cups—but the twist here is how they match up with the deep stuff, like the abyss itself. Wands in this deck don’t just mean energy, they’re like fire, a spark that can either burn you up or light your way. Swords? Oh, they’re not just sharp objects, they’re like your thoughts, your intellect, your battles inside your own head. Pentacles? Well, they’ve always been about work and money, but here, they dig deeper—like the soil you plant your crops in, and how hard you work to make a life for yourself. And cups, oh don’t get me started on cups! They’re all about emotions, just like the tears you shed after a long day’s work or the happiness you feel when your family sits around the table.
But what’s really different about this deck, more so than the usual tarot cards, is the art. It’s got this dark, deep feel to it, like you’re lookin’ at the bottom of the sea or starin’ into the night sky, full of mysteries. The style’s got this pen-and-ink look that feels both old and new, like you’re holdin’ a piece of somethin’ ancient but still fresh in your hands. The artist, Ana Tourian, she’s created somethin’ that feels like a reflection of the soul, mirrorin’ the twists and turns we all face on our journey through life. Ain’t that somethin’ to think about?
The Major Arcana, well, that’s where it gets real deep. It’s the big stuff—like the stages of life, you know? Birth, death, change. All the things we go through, no matter where we come from. Each card in that part of the deck tells a piece of that story. And the Minor Arcana? That’s the smaller bits, the everyday things we deal with, the stuff that makes up the big picture. Together, they tell a tale that’s bigger than just one life or one person. It’s like lookin’ at a big ol’ map of the world and seeing how every little thing connects.
Now, the name of this deck, “Tarot of the Abyss,” that’s no accident. The abyss here ain’t just a hole or a dark place—it’s a symbol, a metaphor, if you will, for the unknown parts of our lives. You know, the parts that scare us, that we don’t always wanna look at, but we know we gotta. Just like when you go out in the fields late at night, and everything’s so quiet, and you can almost feel somethin’ stirrin’ in the dark. It’s a reminder that we gotta face our fears, confront the deep stuff, and learn from it. It’s not easy, but that’s how we grow.
And speaking of growth, let me tell ya, this deck don’t just look pretty. It’s meant to be used, meant to help you understand yourself better. Each card you pull, it’s like a little mirror, showin’ you parts of yourself you might not always see. Some cards might scare ya, some might make ya feel peaceful, but they’ll all teach ya somethin’. Ain’t that what life’s all about? Learnin’ from the tough stuff, the good stuff, and everything in between?
Some folks say that the “Tarot of the Abyss” was made for the new age, that it’s got this special energy in it, kinda like the crystals you find up in the hills—full of ancient power, ready to help you understand the world and your place in it. I don’t know about all that, but I do know it’s a deck that makes you stop and think, makes you feel like you’re holdin’ onto something real, somethin’ important.

So, if you ever get the chance to take a look at the “Tarot of the Abyss,” don’t be afraid. Take a deep breath, pull a card, and see what it says to you. It might just change the way you see the world. Or it might just give you a little peace, a little understanding. Either way, it’s a journey worth takin’—and ain’t that what we’re all doin’ in this life? Journeys of the soul, one step at a time, into the unknown.
