Buy the Deviant Moon Tarot – Premier Edition in our esoteric shop
Deviant Moon Tarot is a must-have deck, crowned by Aeclectic Tarot readers who awarded it the prestigious title of "Best Tarot Deck of All Time." In this Premier Edition, it is presented in a larger box, containing the original deck with borders and an exclusive foldable spread called the Lunatic Card Spread. This refined format highlights the unique visual and symbolic universe of the deck, reinforcing its status as a benchmark in modern tarot.
A surreal journey into the unconscious
The Deviant Moon Tarot takes the reader on an exploration of the hidden areas of the unconscious. Patrick Valenza, its creator, unfolds a vision that is both disturbing and poetic of traditional tarot, shaped by the echoes of his own childhood dreams. His moon-faced characters, created from reworked photographs of 18th-century tombstones, move through landscapes tinged with strangeness: industrial chimneys reaching toward the sky, silent asylums, abandoned buildings. Each card becomes an open window into an inner dimension, where the symbolism of tarot takes on a new resonance.
A booklet rich in original interpretations
The booklet accompanying the deck enriches the reading experience with detailed descriptions and personal interpretations, both upright and reversed. The symmetrical backs of the cards, representing the different phases of the moon, allow for smooth reversed reading. This booklet also reveals the Lunatic Spread, a ten-card spread inspired by the full moon and its cyclical energy. This circular system adds an extra dimension to the reading, strengthening the coherence between the lunar universe of the deck and the divinatory practice it inspires.
