Purchase options and add-ons

The universal symbols of relationships―a man and a woman united as a couple and the eternal yin and yang―are substituted here by archetypes that define male homosexual union. A brilliant blend of modern figures and classic imagery, the Gay Tarot provides an excellent means of understanding and introspection.

The companion booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

Editorial Reviews

Review

All in all, I love this deck. I'm not a man, and I'm not gay, but I can see myself reading with this deck. It is definitely a great deck for gay men, but I also think everybody else could use it very well--simply because of its down-to-earth view of the cards, and the everyday situations shown in the images.The Gay Tarot is a deck with a message too profound to be ignored; a deck too beautiful not to look at; a deck simple enough for beginners, yet interesting enough for advanced readers; a deck that gives to the tarot world something that has been missing for far too long. It is a deck that obviously came from Bursten's heart, and I can see it speaking to many other hearts in the future. - Kim Huggens, TarotPassages.com

As a gay man I have waited a long time for a deck like this. It speaks powerfully into my everyday life and I can see that I'll use it frequently for myself and also to read for clients if they request it. The author has said that he devised the deck to fulfil the same role for gay men that the many feminine gender orientated decks have done for women or specifically for the lesbian community. In this, he has more than succeeded. I also think that anyone outside the male gay community looking at this would be pleasantly challenged to expand their visions and preconceptions of who we are as everyday people. - Christopher Butler, Aeclectic.net

I am impressed with this deck - it is one of few decks that I have seen that has brought the Tarot into the modern age in a manner that I can relate to. I recommend this deck to anyone wanting to work with modern imagery, regardless of lifestyle affiliation. - Bonnie Cehovet, Aeclectic.net

I ordered these cards for my work. I had no expectations thinking they may not be possibly not good quality. Not only was the shipping fast but the quality of the cards are very good, I found them very easy to read, I had not worked with this type of tarot cards and definitely will integrate them in my work. I would recommend them if you are seeking this particular aspect of the tarot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tries very hard and accomplishes what it set out to do for the most part
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2015

Wow where to start.

These cards are pretty good. I like the marvel super hero style pretty okay and how if you lay the cards out you see reoccurring characters going through changes in their lives. I read about how the author of this deck is a really avid collector of tarot. I'm also happy with the modernity and the inclusion of different skin types and ethnicities and ages of people living all kinds of different life styles. The deck is a very positive one considering how dark it COULD have gone, being for gay guys. And make no mistake, it is just for gay guys. Apparently, tarot is a girl's club and there are already several decks with strong lesbian over tones out there to choose from.

But I have a couple of beefs.
Number one, and maybe this is kind of racist: Classically, the different suits of tarot specified different skin tones/hair color combinations. You can see this represented in the Robin Wood Tarot, though she decided to base her deck only after people classically native to Europe as popular history dictates. The notion ties in to the elements and how each one is (supposed to be) a different personality type. Like the 'earthy' personality type. Honest and surly or what ever. The Gay Tarot disregards this old (nearly forgotten, possibly from lack of diversity in tarot, possibly because it's stupid and confusing) standard entirely and maybe that's for the best OR maybe they missed a great opportunity for something.

Number two and more importantly: BODY TYPES, artist lady. PLEASE. I'm not sure if she just never learned how to draw anything other than one kind of man or, more horrifyingly, she might think that all gay men work out as their main source of entertainment. I remember reading that in Europe they have this stereotype even harder than we have in America sometimes and also remember reading the artist was European. Even the old men in the illustrations are ripped. wtf. I'd be laughing out loud but I mentally wrote this review years and years ago and it's not funny anymore. It's a pretty dangerous stereotype.

would I recommend this deck to a friend: Yeah probably. Gay guys and chicks who dig gay representation can both appreciate the efforts made here.

would I use this deck as my go to for doing regular readings: No, laughs too hard at stiffness of art. Also the people in the deck seem to be telling their own stories pretty hard rather than being flexible tools to extrapolate onto your querent .

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Deck
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2004

I have been reading tarot off and on since childhood. I won't say how long that it is, but it is a few decades. This is an awsome deck. The artwork is refresing and wonderful to read. It would be great if Lee Bursten would write a book to accompany the deck and provide discriptions for each card, but it is not absolutely necessary. I read a sample reading of his on the web for this deck and he is wonderful in his description of each card, that is why I feel a book is in order. Lee if you are out there, let me know when you have a book ready. You can see a lot in them just by looking at them. The cards are modern and representative of our times. I think they will truly be of historical value. The artwork is somewhat of a comicbook style, but beautifully done. Of course they are gay oriented and I feel they are true to what our society represents, acceptence, inclusiveness and non-racial. The figures are pretty much all male, so some of the traditional cards have been renamed, but that makes no difference if you are used to Waite style, you should have not problem expanding your mind with this deck. Of course everyone has different tastes, but I just love these cards and highly recommend them. Also, if you are looking for an erotic deck, this is not the deck for you. If I were a collector I would buy a set and leave it unopened for prosperity.

5.0 out of 5 stars This has become my go-to deck
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
I didn't read any reviews or even much product information before buying this product. It was an impulse item and beckoned me with its name. After opening it though I saw I made a good choice. I immediately had an affinity for the deck, with its depictions of very familiar and recognizable themes. The familiarity has actually made me understand and remember the meanings of the cards, even when using other decks. But it is this deck I find myself going to for most readings or even when I need a writing prompt. (As a side note, if you've never thought of using Tarot to help with ideas for writing, you should. There are many articles online to can give you an idea on ways to do this.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Masculine energy, friendly, heart warming
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020

I got this to represent the divine masculine (father type energy), and for any men out there gay, straight or trans. This is a great tool to help you connect with the vital part that the masculine plays through life a (huge part). So from a feminine perspective this deck has been a indispensable addition to my tools of finding out equally, the more masculine side to my woman hood. Great addition! Good splashes of color, racially great integration, good display of how important the masculine and feminine in men are. Have fun and good luck!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars The cards and the little booklet have very tiny text!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
I'm giving this set a lower than perfect rating. There are printing concerns:
--The booklet that accompanies the card set, is a tiny guide and tarot interpretation list. I had to scan the booklet to enlarge the print, in order to read it at all. The interpretations are two to three words, on average, per card in the deck--not too helpful for first-timers, but I also use a "universal guide to tarot" book from the library, to help me interpret the cards and the layouts I use.
--The cards themselves could use larger typesets as well. The images are fantastic, however! So I give this set a 3 out of 5.

I've been waiting since I was 15 to get my hands on this tarot deck; it always struck me as beautiful, poignant, and the modern day setting is a perfect aid in contextualizing the Tarot's arcane wisdom in a more practical, day to day manner. As a gay man, I consider this deck a definitive must have for readers who want to explore a deck that holds, at its core, the ideals of integration, empowerment and romance.
