Review of Otherkin Tarot
The Otherkin Tarot bears a strange and otherworldly art style that is unique to its artist and beautiful in a delicate and ethereal way. It features jagged sketches of fae-like magical creatures and enchanted animals with strong emotional potential. The constant presence of nature's magic is highlighted with touches of elegant color that draw the eye to sumptuous details like a gentleman frog's jaunty scarf (Two of Wands) or a burning tower in the distance (Six of Swords). Some characters are humanoid, some are anthropomorphic animals, some are animals engaged in relatable activities. With its evocative imagery, it would be especially applicable to someone with a love for animals, both mundane and anthropomorphized.
The Otherkin Tarot is a premium quality deck, and every detail is gorgeous. The guide book, Meeting the Otherkin, is thick, and its pages are glossy, full color throughout. The box is sturdy and high quality, with a magnetic closure and a ribbon to make retrieving the cards easier. Full-color illustrations are met with eloquent descriptions of the meanings of each card alone and in context, making interpretation a richer experience in a divination context.
