Alchemy 1977 England Tarot

Overview

It surely must have been the reference to England that caught my attention to this deck, although it is an interesting enough deck in its own right. It turns out that Alchemy 1977 England is actually a popular producer/seller of Gothic artifacts and jewellery, whose website, if you're interested in that type of paraphernalia, is well worth a visit: http://www.alchemygothic.com/  

So, as to be expected, the cards in this deck reflect a Gothic theme, somewhat bound also to a horror aspect, judging by the number of skulls, skeletons and demonic artifacts included in the imagery - or maybe that’s all part and parcel of the Gothic ambience! While the pip cards themselves don't depict scenes, there are plenty in the Major Arcana and in the Court cards that promote the overall doom-and-gloom of that Gothic ethos. 

This deck follows the RWS tradition as far as both the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana are concerned, so wouldn't be too difficult for an experienced practitioner to use, given, of course, the limitations of the undecorated pip cards - one of my constant moans!
