I AM an Edgar Allen Poe fan. I am thrilled she used the balloon in the Chariot. My favorite Poe story is actually the "Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaal" which is written as if it really happened. He describes how a man went to the moon in a hot air balloon, and his descriptions of the air thinning, and the way things would look from a high atmosphere are mesmerizing! I think any Poe deck would have to include quotes, because it was his brush...he was so eloquent. I also love the "Fall of the House of Usher" so deliciously dark and spongy. She could've made pentacles "gravestones" imho, but paws is good too, since the author loves the "Black Cat". Also, I am a huge Vincent Price fan, so...yes please.
I found the Edgar Allen Poe Tarot by Rose Wright at a shop for half price last week. I was so excited and I fell in love with it right away. The guidebook is wonderful as well. So, it was quite interesting to see this Poe Tarot deck. It's very different.
Hi Simon, I live in Maryland, USA. Yes, Raven. Also, Baltimore, MD has the Baltimore Ravens Football Team (Go Pittsburgh Steelers!) that are named after Edgar Alan Poe's Raven.
Hi neighbor! I am in southern central PA. I just wanted to say hi as I don’t often see people from my area. Have you been to The Horse You Came In On Saloon? (The last place Poe visited before he died.). I haven’t been in years but I adore it.
I absolutely LOVE this deck! I prefer it even to the previous Poe Tarot by Llewellyn. When you read that verse from the poem Annabel Lee, so beautifully read and it’s my favourite poem of his along with the Raven. So glad you have a copy of this deck and that you like it 😍 thank you for mentioning my walkthrough video too 😍❤️
As I expected, great review of my current favourite deck 👍💖 I'm very happy to hear that you like it. An unbiased judge I am not 🤭 I love the art, the quotes, the white space & the gorgeous edges (not sharp) Thanks Simon & enjoy his words 🖤🖤 Melancholy - often. Stunning - always. xx
Ooh I love this. There was another Poe deck that I was trying to talk myself into getting, but this one just hits the mark. Poe is one of my favorite authors, and I will definitely add this deck to my collection. This looks like it would pair well with the Gorey Fantod deck. Thank you 🙏
I adore Poe. As you started going through the cards, the first thing that came to mind was that they must have used the house from The Fall of the House of Usher (one of my favorite stories) for the Tower. I decided that if they did, I would get this deck. It will be delivered tomorrow. LOL
Such a cool deck! True to Poe. The Llewelyn deck seems kind of cartoony and childish to me. This one hits the mark. I have to stop watching reviews before I become a hoarder😂
