The Necronomicon Tarot is a beautifully illustrated deck based on H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. The artwork for this deck was created by Anne Stokes under the direction of Donald Tyson to fit in with his novels which are an expansion of and homage to Lovecraft’s mythos. As such, the artwork of this deck has very little in common with the more traditional decks.
Although this deck is accurate when the cards are read with the traditional meanings, they do (as with every deck) have their own unique way of speaking, and I have enjoyed learning their language.
This deck is published through Llewellyn, but don’t let that put you off. It does mean that the bag that comes with the deck is a bit flimsy, and the book is well printed, but not as informative as you might hope for if this is your first deck.
As this deck does tie into the Cthulhu Mythos, I recommend a good knowledge of both tarot and the mythos to really get the most from working with this deck.

Question:
In a few months,
I will be moving away to start a completely new life in a different city.
Trouble is, I'm terrified!
Will things go as smoothly as they can do?
Thank you x

Interpretation:

Card One, representing the question,  suggests that, although the path ahead of you is new and somewhat daunting, you do have a very clear picture of your situation and of all of the posibilities that could arise at any moment over the next few months.

Card Two, representing the past, suggests that you have done everything possible to ensure your move goes smoothly and have personally looked into every detail so that every decision is made from your own understanding, and not from the guess-work of others. This puts you in the strongest position possible at this point because there is nothing hidden from you.

Card Three, representing the forces working in this situation,  implies that there will be stressful and confusing times, but it looks like the easily overcome obstacles of having a lot on your plate. Small things like allowing a little extra time for more important issues should see you through any complications.

Card Four, representing your feelings,  is a card of decision-making and uncertainty. It suggests that you want someone else to step in and make choices for you because you are unsure of your ability to make the best choices. This card would ask you to listen to your own mind and heart. The advice of others is always worth considering, but it is also worth remembering that anyone not directly involved in a situation has nothing to gain or lose and may not give their full attention to the advice you seek.

Card Five, representing the answer to your question,  is an encouraging card and indicates good fortune and happiness. It implies that, although things will not be perfectly smooth, the effort you put in will be worth it, and will pay off.
