Received this yesterday and very happy. It's a beautiful deck, for want of a better word. I'll have to get myself an appropriate bag or box as they didn't come with a case. But you do get a lovely 35-page booklet that tells the story behind Wormweird and Wormwood and how this links in with the characters portrayed on the cards. Very clever and quite original as far as I know.

The cards are highly laminated and were actually stuck together in small clumps; I had to carefully prise them apart. Gives new meaning to a "brick" of cards as with the high lamination and quality of card stock, the deck is about an inch-and-a-half thick.

Lovely deck.

I do not believe those cards would be appropriate for any reading so to speak, but for a bizarre routine maybe involving Demons or something along those lines they would be perfect as Wormwood is the Demon that falls from the sky in Revelation. I do believe. But as gruesome as they are I do think the shock factor would be very good (and high) in certain performing cases. I could see these being performed in a "possesed" deck routine involving those Loops. Or really any haunted routine, I do not know how they would fit into a seanc, unless it was very modern and being performed for lets say...university students.

theseer, that's what I had in mind for them. I have a couple of effects I've been looking at and I think this deck would be perfect for them. The accompanying booklet really is very good, too. Not at all like the LWB you usually get with a tarot deck.

Schweet! I want those!

With a name like Absinthegal, I suggest that this deck is a required purchase! Very apt.
