The Shakespeare Tarot is the definitive William Shakespeare tarot deck. This Bard-inspired deck of 78 tarot cards, accompanied by a guidebook, is as gorgeous as it is rich with detail, using Shakespeare's body of work to inspire your journey.

A Deck for and by Shakespeare Enthusiasts. The 78 tarot cards feature the Major and Minor Arcana inspired by the original Rider-Waite tarot and "cast" using characters from Shakespeare's work or world. The cards feature well-known characters like Romeo and Juliet as the Lovers, as well as deeper cuts like The Dark Lady as the Moon and Edward the Dark Prince as the Eight of Swords.

Deluxe deck fit for the Bard. The set includes 78 illustrated cards (3 x 5 inches), shrink-wrapped and housed in a card sleeve; a 136-page illustrated paperback guidebook (4-3/4 x 6 inches); and a keepsake magnetic closure box (3-1/2 x 5-3/8 inches), featuring beautiful gold foil.

Insightful accompanying guidebook. The included guidebook contains an interpretation of each card, suggested Shakespeare-themed spreads and readings, and detailed notes on the artwork, demonstrating how each card's image was carefully selected and revealing Easter eggs for fanatics.

Perfect entry point. This deck is perfect for both tarot beginners and experienced readers, as it provides a relatable understanding of the cards while maintaining the traditional meanings.

Shakespeare is for everyone. The imagery of these cards represents a wide and diverse range of Shakespeare characters, showcasing that Shakespeare and its adaptations are and have been accessible to people of all backgrounds.
