Gold star! Sophia as The Hierophant and Stan as The Hanged Man also work really well here. And Blanche with two buff men in her “Yippee-aye-oh…K-Y!” cowgirl outfit as The Chariot is the best. It’s one of the cards in the deck that can carry a negative connotation on first glance, but it’s really all about transformation and the never ending quest to learn more about yourself. I also love Dorothy on the Death card since this is the card that represents my zodiac sign as a Scorpio. The three cards above are also stand outs for me, especially Shady Pines as The Tower. It opens with Rose as The Fool in her CATS costume, which is just too perfect. Where this deck truly shines is in the Major Arcana, or the 22 cards that represent the larger, archetypal themes of life. If you’re new to tarot or just here for the Girls, you’ll still find so much to love about the scenes on the cards, several of which reference specific episodes. So if you’re familiar with it then you’ll feel right at home here.

The imagery is based on the most well-known tarot design, the Rider-Waite deck. Each card is fully illustrated in color detail by Chantel de Sousa. I really appreciate this feature since a lot of decks come in flimsy boxes that you can’t really use in the long term. This gives the deck a great vintage appeal while also allowing you to keep the cards in the original box. The cards come packaged in a sturdy paper box with a flip top. Madame Zelda from “The Way We Met” episode Sometimes a blogger’s dreams really do come true, folks! Read on for my review of the cards, spreads inspired by the show, and even a sample tarot reading. I contacted the publisher, and they kindly sent me a deck to review. So I was super excited when I was searching for other Golden Girls stuff a couple of months ago on Amazon, like you do, and found one. With 78 cards in a typical tarot deck I’ve always thought that this medium would be such a fun and creative way to showcase the Girls along with scenes and references from the show. I’ve featured lots of the items that are out there and reviewed a few, but there’s one I’ve been waiting for that finally hit the shelves: tarot cards! From board games to calendars, magnet sets and dolls, to blankets and, of course, t-shirts, among so many other things, The Golden Girls have now inspired more merchandise than you can shake your vertubenflugen at.
