The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Deck and Guidebook

Beautiful artwork
“There’s only 365 days left until next Halloween!” – the MayorWhen I saw that Abigail Larson was doing the art for a Nightmare before Christmas Deck I knew I had to have it. I am a huge fan of the movie and of Abigail's work. This is a full 78 card deck with both major and minor arcana.This deck is beautiful. Each card is unique and there are very few repeat characters. Jack and Sally are the most common repeat characters in the deck but that isn’t really surprising. There is one major change with this deck and that is the minor arcana suites. They have been changed to potions (cups), candles (wands), needles (swords), and presents (Pentacles). The potions and presents cards are probably my favorites from this deck (outside of the major arcana).The guidebook is 128 pages and discusses the meaning behind each card. It keeps with the Halloween Town theme throughout and really immerses the reader in this world. There is also a card spread section at the end of the book. The spreads are common ones found in guidebooks but they have put a spin on them to make them fit in this context, such as “Blown to Smithereens” spread.I only have two complaints with this deck. One is that the cards like to stick together which makes it hard to shuffle the deck. The other is that the artwork for the candle suit felt a little repetitive.This deck is perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I don’t think this would be a good everyday tarot deck but I do think it is a fun deck. It does take a little while to get used to the changes in suites but the guidebook is helpful. Overall, a fun and beautiful deck.

Great Deck Breathtaking art.
The media could not be loaded. This is a great deck and the artwork is very beautiful. all the characters and lore of "TNBC"it makes great sense and I like that the guidebook is very easy to read and understand. This is a great deck and looks beautiful. Fun for any "TNBC" fan that is also a tarot reader or any fan of "TNBC" really. i would suggest this as a good gift or as a fun deck for yourself. The packaging is amazing and the cards look good both front and back.

Absolutely beautiful tarot deck!
I’m gonna be honest, I got this mainly because of the low price point. My sister is just getting into tarot and was ready for her own deck (I’ve been doing tarot casually for about 20 years and have probably close to a dozen decks in my collection). We both love the movie, and I’ve always heard that it’s good luck to have your first deck gifted rather than buying it yourself, so I thought this would be a cute beginner deck for her. Let me tell you when she opened the package, we were both AMAZED. I’m not exaggerating when I tell your the artwork is STUNNING… like, I would tattoo this art on my body and carry it around with me forever if I could only pick a favorite card, but they’re all too freaking pretty. They fit in with my sis’s witchy aesthetic perfectly, are self-contained in a resuseable box, come with a thoughtfully written and accurately themed book (both to the movie and traditional tarot meanings), and everything is just really, really great quality. I love that the suits are changed to fit with the movie’s themes, but still retain authentic symbolism and interpretations of each card. This is felt really personally fitting for her (as someone who incorporates Christianity into her craft, she can be a tad uncomfortable/out of her element using more traditionally pagan symbols such as pentacles, etc). I did not research or read reviews like I normally do with online purchases; this was a rare impulse buy that just felt right and ended up completely exceeding my expectations. I’m convinced that I couldn’t have picked a better first deck for her even if I had a limitless budget… it was simply meant to be 💜🖤💜🖤

This Deck Is Gorgeous!
I am absolutely in love with this tarot deck! I am a huge fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas and really all things Tim Burton, but especially this movie and the artwork is just brilliant! Each character from the movie has found their perfect place within these cards and I couldn’t help but smile at how accurate the cards were for their personality in the movie.I unfortunately have to say honestly that it is probably not a great deck for beginners though. The cards do not have the traditional names that a tarot deck would have and may be difficult for a beginner to find information online or in a guide book like one would with a normal deck. That said, the deck does come with its own guide book (gives you the meaning of each card upright and reverse) so even though I enjoy being able to read a few detailed descriptions of cards from multiple sources when I have not quite put them to memory yet, the guide book will still allow anyone to get a good idea of the cards meanings.

Simply Amazingggg
At first I was a bit skeptical of purchasing after reading some of the negative reviews on the designs and whatnot. But I am sooo glad I ended up buying it.1. Yes there are some cards that may be lacking but they are few. Overall all the cards are stunning and do have that Tim Burton vibe which I love.2. It is amazing quality. These are so sturdy and the design and the box are beautiful.3. I own a few tarot decks and not all I connect with but immediately after receiving this one, I connected with it and after doing readings using the book as reference they are pretty accurate and have lovely explanations.It comes down to preference but in my opinion you can't go wrong with this deck, especially if you're a fan of NBC!
