I bought this deck as a collectible, honestly. I don't recommend this deck to a beginner if you're intending to read with it because the art doesn't really match what the cards mean. Some do, but most have only a minor element in connection to the meaning of the card. Unless Royo were to make a dedicated tarot deck (which would be amazing, if you ask me) it's not reasonable to assume the art used will match the traditional card meaning at all.But I bought this deck because I'm a fan of Royo's work and collect decks as well as read tarot, so the art not matching the meaning doesn't matter much to me.The printing isn't all that great, sadly. On one card there's a streak caused by a printing error and the images themselves aren't high quality. These things are a disappointment, but not a deal breaker because the price is reasonable for this level of quality. I included a photo with my review to show the streak.The paper the cards are printed on feels sturdy. I did the "casino dealer shuffle" without any bending.Long story short, I don't recommend this for any serious reading. It's pretty good as a collectible, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Viels of the Sacred Female
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013

I'd researched purchasing this deck for a reading environment where the sensuality would be highly appropriate.

I learned the Tarot through Crowley's Thoth deck, which I continue to use 20 years later. The Royo Dark Tarot Deck, contrasts sharply in the sense of Masculine to Feminine. Though I would agree these cards do attribute their base in RWS tradition, there's some very subtle differences, which profoundly affect the cards in a beautiful fashion. These cards do use their own language, and though having the booklet with interpretation, these cards openly invite both the querent, and reader to discover other worlds, which though appearing imaginary, remain very much real.

Upon receiving the cards today, I discovered the following at Aeclectic Tarot:

"The Black Tarot went out of print, and was not renewed by Fournier.
We explored the possibility of a co-edition, but Fournier was not overly interested.
After Fournier clearance, LS negotiated directly with mr. Royo agent.

Instead of reprinting the Black Tarot as it was (as in many ways it was considered below LS standards), the deck was changed and expanded. Cards are larger, scans are better, and all the 78 cards are now illustrated (the Black Tarot had only Majors and Courts). A few changes and adjustment have also been done.

I love this deck. Still have and use it on occasion when I'm in the mood for some insight. The graphics on the cards are rich, good resolution, and dark, if not carnal, but that's why I enjoy it. The card stock is smooth, clean, well produced, and sturdy for shuffling. Anyone interested in exploring their "shadow" self, and not afraid of nudity and erotic images would benefit from this deck

4.0 out of 5 stars A better Black Tarot
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2012

Royo Dark Tarot is a themed deck which portraits a dark fantasy world with scenes ebbing sensuality based on the Luis Royo's paintings. This is essentially a remake of the Black Tarot, but this time around the pips are fully illustrated and some of the Major Arcana and Court Cards have been replaced as well. This is the deck you were waiting for if you were left wanting with the Black Tarot or are a fan of Luis Royo's artwork and a tarot collector.

Beware; there is a lot of female nudity in these cards shown in various levels of strength and vulnerability. In contrast, the scenery evokes a fantastic world full of dread and pain.

These cards are bordered black, numbered at the top-left and bottom-right corners, labeled in English and Spanish at the top-right corner and labeled in Italian and French at the bottom-left. The back of these cards is fully reversible, resembling a wooden door.

The Major Arcana are numbered with red roman numeral at the top-left and at the bottom-right starting at 0 with the Fool, VIII for Justice and XI for Strength. The only minor deviation from the Rider Tarot naming convention is X The Wheel (Wheel of Fortune).

In a cursory check against the Black Tarot, you may notice that many of the Major Arcana has been replaced. These include:

0. The Fool,
I. The Magician
IV. The Emperor
V. The Hierophant
X. The Wheel
XIV. Temperance
XVIII. The Moon
XIX. The Sun
XX. Judgement

The Minor Arcana are labeled with the symbols of each suit at the top-left and bottom-right corners. These are chalices, pentacles, wands and swords. The court cards are labeled as knave, knight, queen, or king. Of the court cards, only the Queen and King of Chalices were replaced.

The major departure on this deck as compared to the Black Tarot occurs on the pips. The pips are numbered with red numerals at the top-left and at the bottom-right. These are fully illustrated cards from the ample selection of Royo's artwork. In occasion you may catch a glimpse of the suit symbol on the card scenery, but this is not the rule. Although, the imagery was selected to match the meaning of the card, this doesn't always work well.

This is an interesting remake that was worth waiting for. However, it follows the RWS Tarot rather loosely, and there are cards that are difficult to "read" by the image alone. But if you are a Luis Royo's fan and a tarot collector, this deck should find its way into your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great deck for the succubus in you!
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016

After reading some of these reviews, I wanted to add my own $.02. If you are not a succubus/incubus, or at least aligned with that kind of sexual energy, this may not be the deck for you. If you ARE, however, you need this deck NOW! The art is amazing, and speaks to me on a level that I can only describe as primal. It IS an "NC-17" type of deck, so definitely not for the faint of heart. I mean it's called DARK tarot, and Luis Royo isn't exactly known for being the next Thomas Kinkaide. The energy of the cards, again, is dark and sexual. Awesome for me, but maybe not for the mother-daughter spa crowd type of readings. All in all, a great deck -- just not one I would recommend for the casual reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive, dark, rich deck
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this particular deck. Its dark artwork and themes are definitely not my usual fare. However, after holding the cards, flipping through them, and feeling the richness of the energy, I can't gush about them enough.

There is some (female) nudity, so if that isn't your thing, this is definitely not your deck. However, the sensual, highly sexualized art fits, somehow. The cardstock is strong, not too thin or too thick. I regret not trying to find a set with a book, I think an in-depth book about the images would be really awesome. But overall, this deck is beautiful, with a thread of sex and violence that I haven't seen in other decks. I'm looking forward to using it and seeing how its imagry impacts my readings.
