The Housewives Tarot: A Domestic Divination Kit Cards – Illustrated, 1 Oct. 2004

What a fun deck, I actually only bought this for the novelty value, I figured it would be more of a collectors thing than a usable deck but I was very wrong. The little guidebook is entertaining and about as informative as any of the rest I have encountered and there are a couple of the cards which are genuinely originally insightful (rare I find these days).The packaging is darling, a little recipe box style sturdy box with dividers for the major arcana, minor arcana and guidebook, each of the little dividers have a little cooking recipe on the reverse which is a nice bonus.The retro look of these cards is so different from any deck I own and I actually love the depictions of the suits, very clever.I would certainly recommend this deck.

I got this deck despite my (feminist?) disgust at the stereotypical housewife portrayal but on close scrutiny this deck is very witty and clever. The 'Housewives' take on the Rider-Waite deck is very cleverly done and so true. We don't like to view ourselves as the housewives this deck portrays but if you think about it we still are! (we're just not *expected* to do it anymore) and this is what makes this deck so easy to understand and bond with, the housework part anyway!Despite the 1950's art the 'Housewives Tarot' brings tarot to the 20th century with it's imagery and symbolism still as relevant in today's home as it was back then. In an odd kind of way the Housewives Tarot is quite refreshing and has made the standard tarot look a bit stereotypical and dull! This deck is a novelty, very easy to understand and a deck for serious reader. It has hidden depths despite its perhaps controversial design.The cards are fairly cardboardy with a un-laminated matt finish and would need to be looked after to keep them from spoiling. I think if they were heavily laminated it would ruin their appeal. The cards come in a robust, recipe index style box with a removable lid and a well written LWB which is also stylized in true housewife fashion.

I love these cards they are so much fun. The style of art is also one which I love. I love the humour in the cards it gives them a relaxed feel whilst still getting the message a cross to the reader. it helped me connect with the swords suite which in other decks I do not always understand the message being conveyed. the imagery is not too daunting for those who are a little put off by the symbols in traditional decks. I love the major arcana cards especially the devil and death are great designs. Devil being the chocolate cake with other vices surrounding it. The court cards have been thought out well and the knight of swords is just fantsatic...really supporting the speed and the ego references. I would definately recommend these. They are presented so well in their receipe box and its sturdy to keep them safe. They are matt finish but this adds to their character.. if u want a cheeky deck these are for you.

Always had a thing about 1950s so when I first saw this deck on a Psychic Group I was straight away like I've got to search for theses and yephee found them and at s very cool price too!Now to be honest I would use theses all the time due to:1. The quality you'd have to be careful not to ripple shuffle them to much as there not strong enough and it's so cute the theme you wouldn't want to spoil it!2. I would only use them for someone who finds my more intense cards a little overwhelming or maybe for someone how's having a reading for the first time I think it be good for thoses purposes.Over all the Presentation is Epic and Nostalgic 😊

Having received the Zombie Tarot sometime last week, I decided to purchase the "sister deck" and, as I expected, I am not disappointed.The card stock is thick, sturdy, and easy to shuffle. The images depicted are whimsical, quirky, and fun, but the messages received are truthful and plain. The presentation box is gorgeous and I've already got plans for its reuse.The book and card spreads which came with the deck are, as I also expected, in the correct style and approach. I adore the energy these cards give off and have already added them to my regular cycle.

Brilliant. Quirky and unusual

I ordered this on a whim and i was so pleased to see it arrive. It comes in a small robust box that looks like a recipe organiser. The cards are not that thick but i don't mind that. They have a lovely backing which reminds me of a diner table cloth. The companion book is small but very good and helpful. Finally the images are wonderful 50s style pictures and make me smile so much. I think this is a great deck , easy to read and reasonably priced so if you like this style of art i would highly recommend them.

Love them easy to shuffle, understand and some of the images made me laugh as they are very relatable as for the 1950's theme I adore it. Great buy.
