The Nightfall Tarot is a darkened interpretation of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot. Designed for those new to the world of Tarot, or longtime practitioners, this 78-card deck stays true to the original meanings developed by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith with some updates to many of the symbols and scenes. Going beyond the original Judeo-Christian themes, this deck also features Norse runes, Icelandic staves, Wiccan designs, and astrology to create a more accessible and multicultural experience of Tarot for the 21st century. The accompanying guidebook provides clear interpretations as well as spreads to complement the powerful images. With darkness being ever present in the Nightfall Tarot, each unique card is tinged with a melancholy that pulls you deeper into the shadowy areas of your life, revealing truths in the gray twilight.
