The companion book doesn’t even include keywords for the reversed meanings. The After Tarot Kit doesn’t include any information for reading reversed tarot cards, however. When it comes to describing each card and its meanings, this is one of the most comprehensive companion books I’ve seen. For example, the Justice card (11 = 1 + 1 = 2) is in the section with the Twos of each suit.Įach card is shown with a short intro paragraph and then covered in detail with the card description, key symbols, and suggested interpretations. The cards are organized by numbers, with the Major Arcana together with the pips. This second section is organized strangely, but it works. The first outlines the basics of tarot and the second gives detailed descriptions of each of the cards. The companion guide is divided into two sections. If you like stories or storytelling, this is a fun deck to play with. ![]() For example, the Two of Cups shows the couple embracing, and the Eight of Pentacles shows the craftsman showing off his completed work. It’s like you’re eavesdropping or being a peeping tom (but not in a creepy way). The After Tarot Kit carries the story of each of the cards just a little bit farther. Most of the differences are subtle and you’ll have to study each card to see how they show the “one moment after” image. ![]() If you know how to read any RW-based deck, this one will be very easy to read. The After Tarot Kit is designed to show what happens in the cards, one moment after what is shown on the original Rider-Waite deck.Įach card is extremely similar to the original RW card. It’s printed in full color throughout and is organized in an unusual way. The companion book is also quite impressive. I like the card backs a million times better that the original RW-deck. The backside of each card shows a beautiful illustration of white lilies and red roses on a light green background. These are very firm cards and they will take quite a bit of abuse. The cardstock is thick and sturdy with just enough “slip” to make shuffling the cards easy. Inside the box is the companion guide with the deck of cards nestled beneath it. The exterior box opens from the side with a magnetic flap. The After Tarot Kit is a high-quality deck and package – much higher quality than normal. My Italian is non-existent, so I wasn’t able to find much about him online. Pietro Alligo is also an Italian illustrator, and he’s responsible for the Tarot of the Renaissance as well as others for Lo Scarabeo. ![]() I couldn’t find a portfolio or website online, but she’s on Facebook (in Italian). She also illustrated the Mucha Tarot and the Romantic Tarot for Lo Scarabeo. Giulia Francesca Massaglia is an Italian illustrator and cartoonist. She’s written many books about tarot, including Tarot for Writers, Tarot and Astrology, and The Wizard’s Tarot. This deck was was first published in early 2017 by Lo Scarabeo, an Italian tarot deck publisher.Ĭorrine Kenner is also the author of the companion guide. The deck was created by Corrine Kenner and illustrated by Giulia Francesca Massaglia and Pietro Alligo. It makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves tarot and storytelling. The After Tarot Kit is an extremely high-quality deck and package. It’s a fun tarot deck for people who are already familiar with the Rider-Waite tarot card meanings. I purchased my copy of the After Tarot Kit in the summer of 2017 from Amazon for about $25. But I also find it useful for tarot study to help understand the stories and meanings of each card to see “what happens next.” In a way, this is a bit of a novelty deck, although it’s extremely easy to read. These cards continue the story and add to it, too. It shows the exact scene from the original Rider-Waite tarot cards, only one moment after. When I first saw this tarot deck, I just knew I had to get it. ![]()
