Are you ready to embrace everything that lives in the shadows? Step into the darkness and release Your fears.
The Macabre Tarot is a deck designed for shadow work, the exploration of the sides of yourself you’d prefer others not to see. Many shadow workers allow themselves a safe space to explore their own darkness. Tarot is a great tool for opening yourself up to your shadow, as it asks you questions you wouldn’t otherwise consider. Shadow work happens when you stop pushing out the dark, intrusive thoughts born of anger, sadness and disgust that sneak in when you’re trying to fall asleep at night and take the time to get to know them. Knowing your true, authentic self is only possible when you work to understand all of your sides.
The Macabre Tarot Cards
The Fool - Upright: new beginnings, innocence Reversed: at risk, recklessness
The Fool has one foot off the ledge, ready to plunge into a deep, dark unknown. The Fool is fresh and innocent, with no guiding experiences. You’re ready for a new start but be prepared for the unexpected, as you’re heading into this naked and it could be risky.
The guide - Upright: guidance, teacher, society Reversed: blindly following
The Guide is a book laid out in front of you that has listed all of society’s conventions and rules. It’s filled with laws and moral teachings. It’s time to pick up a pen and start making your own annotations. Connect with your moral compass and choose the laws you live by. Learn from teachers you choose, not those chosen for you.
Six of Bones Upright: success, spotlight Reversed: pride
Look at how you are sparkling: everyone is looking at you and admiring you. You’ve accomplished so much, and everyone is so proud of you. Your ego is skyrocketing and it’s time to congratulate yourself for your achievements.
