The Black Tarot is a deck of tarot cards that features dark and macabre imagery. It is not a specific deck with a known origin, but rather a term that is used to describe a wide range of tarot decks that share these common themes. Some of these decks are based on traditional tarot symbolism and imagery, but reinterpreted in a darker or more sinister way, while others are completely original creations.
The use of darker and more occult imagery in tarot decks is not a new phenomenon, and can be traced back to the earliest days of tarot, when they were used by mystics and occultists for divination and spiritual guidance. As tarot has evolved over time, different artists and designers have put their own spin on the traditional imagery, creating decks that reflect their own interests and aesthetics.
The use of the term "Black Tarot" typically refers to a deck that feature gothic or horror themes, or have dark, occult imagery. Some examples of this could be the Tarot of the Witches, Black Cat Tarot, The Gothic Tarot, and The Cthulhu Tarot.
It's worth noting that the term "black" in this context does not necessarily implies negative association. It's more about the aesthetics, themes and style of the illustrations and concepts.
