Insight Editions' award-winning art and photography titles celebrate the artistry and history of a wide range of subjects, from rock to film to nature conservation. The Disney Villains tarot pack emphasises the darker aspects of each card due to its villain-focused theme, such as Mother Gothel (the main antagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film Tangled) capturing the Empress's more malevolent traits. Looking at Jafar, it’s easy to feel both the charisma and the ambition of the King of Wands; seeing Prince John surrounded by money, it’s immediately obvious that the King of Coins tends to the materialistic and selfish.I pulled the Reversed Hermit, represented in this deck by Michael Yagoobian from Meet the Robinsons. Or even one that solely uses Disney’s most sacred and classic characters Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?

The guidebook, written by Minerva Siegel, is entirely “Disneyfied”, introducing basic tarot concepts cleverly woven into the Disney universe. Some of the cards alter their images into more darker versions to emphasize the equally grim tale being told.

But Disney’s ventures into tarot aren’t so far afield from its filmography, full of magic, dancing broomsticks and talking mirrors. Just that fact that it’s all villains lets me loosen up a little since a lot of my issues come with wanting to resolve/prevent conflict and make everyone happy cough*codependent*cough. Later, when Jim Evers meets up with Madame Leota, the cards are seen floating around the room with the other objects when the table levitates. So I’ve been looking to get a new deck I can actually use, and this sounds like it might fit the bill.

This stands as an example of how contemporary cultural products can be integrated into historical spiritual practices, bridging the gap between the mystical and the familiar.Recent national bestsellers include Friends: The Official Cookbook, Harry Potter: Knitting Magic, and The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook. In addition to this book, she’s the author of Tarot for Self-Care: How to Use Tarot to Manifest Your Best Self and Spell Jars for the Modern Witch: A Practical Guide to Crafting Spell Jars for Abundance, Luck, Protection, and More, as well as a dozen licensed tarot decks. There’s a brisk business, too, in an October 2001 deck that Disney produced to promote Disneyland’s “Haunted Mansion” ride, which gets an annual “Nightmare Before Christmas” overhaul to ring in the holiday season. Featuring the notorious ne’er-do-wells from classic animated films like 101 Dalmations, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, and more, this tarot deck reimagines Cruella de Vil, Ursula, Maleficent and the whole motley crew in original illustrations based on classic tarot iconography.
