I’m having a conundrum about which decks to take with me for Halloween readings this year. In the past I’ve used Patrick Valenza’s Trionfi Della Luna in a negative-blue colorway (cute and spooky), The Grateful Dead Tarot by Erin Cadigan and Elizabeth Jezorski (skeletons, of course!), and Tarot of the Sweet Twilight by Cristina Benintende (a complicated mix of spooky, sweet, sad, and funny).
But unfortunately, all of these are currently or soon-to-be out of print, and I’m not big on backup copies, so I don’t want to make these out in public anymore. What to do? Find some substitutes.
Which 3 of these would you take to a Halloween reading event?
