“Buffy, Willow, and Spike walk into a tarot deck… and somehow it’s both terrifying and brilliant.”
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot captures the wit, drama, and occasional chaos of life in the Hellmouth. Titan and Insight Editions have turned the show’s iconic characters, moments, and moods into a deck that’s as fun as it is fang-tastic.
The Major Arcana are packed with personality - Buffy, Willow, Spike, and friends appear in key roles, each card dripping with the show’s signature humour and heroics. The Minor Arcana lean into everyday drama, relationships, and the occasional monster-of-the-week, making readings playful, narrative-driven, and occasionally a little snarky. This isn't a deck produced just for the sake of it - cards have been deeply thought about and matched with characters or moments who really fit.
Card stock is solid, the box is sturdy, and the guidebook balances show references with usable tarot interpretations, so you can enjoy both fandom nostalgia and actual readings. (be aware that a few entries in the guidebook describe a different scene than is on the card - someone was working from a different script.) Collectors will especially appreciate the deluxe editions with extra goodies, because of course the Slayer deserves nothing less.
Published by Titan Books (UK) and Insight Editions (U.S.).
Verdict: Not ideal for deeply introspective readings, but perfect for Buffy fans, creative spreads, or anyone who enjoys a little pop culture magic with their tarot.
