“Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered…” you’ll find yourself holding a deck that feels like it slipped straight out of the Goblin King’s hands. The Labyrinth Tarot (Minerva Siegel & Tomás Hijo) captures that strange, dreamlike world where every turn hides a riddle - and every card hums with mischief and mystery.
The Major Arcana are stunning, filled with familiar faces and a shimmer of otherworldly symbolism. You can almost hear Jareth purr, “It’s only forever…” as you turn The Magician. The Minors are simpler - less ornate, more symbolic - but they carry the same flicker of charm that makes the film unforgettable.
The card stock feels sturdy, the box a treasure in itself, and the guidebook strikes a nice balance between fandom delight and proper tarot insight. The deluxe edition (in the U.S.) adds a card stand and velvet pouch, because of course it does - Jareth would never settle for less.
Published by Titan Books in the UK and Insight Editions (Simon & Schuster) in the U.S.
Verdict: Not the easiest deck for deep, introspective readings, but absolutely perfect for magical moments, creative spreads, and anyone who’s ever wished their tarot would start singing “Dance, magic, dance.”
