Bonefire Tarot

The Fool's Dog

About this app

Here’s a deck on fire! The Bonefire Tarot is a spicy post-modern conflagration! Glowing with vivid colors, blazing with witty pop culture references, burning with mystic symbols pillaged from world cultures, Bonefire shines with a profoundly 21st century light.

Here, each Wand has become a Thyrsus, a pine cone wand carried by the Maenads and Satyrs of Dionysus symbolizing prosperity and pleasure. Pentacles have become Coins. The deck’s scenes and symbols are easy to read for those familiar with the Rider Waite Smith Tarot. For people new to Tarot, Bonefire may be easier to read than a traditional deck, with its current-day visual metaphors. Bonefire’s art recalls the classic era of tattoos. Relying on the artistic strength of the images, the Bonefire Tarot comes with very succinct written material designed to spark the reader’s intuition.

Ratings and reviews

The deck itself deserves 5 stars. But compared to the other apps from this publisher, it's seriously lacking. The guidebook isn't provided, only a short list of keywords for each card. Spreads are extremely limited. Considering this app costs the same as others that provide full guidebook descriptions and a plethora of spreads, I sort of feel cheated. But the actual cards are beautiful. I have the physical deck so I can consult the guidebook for the symbolism when I'm at home, but not on the go.

Beautiful, vibrant deck full of symbolism. To my surprise, the deck isn't mere eye candy: readings are super accurate, honest, and to the point. I own the physical version of this deck and it's even more impressive. There's also a book describing each card and the artistic process in detail and I'm disappointed it isn't included in the app. The book is delightfully honest and straightforward. If you like this deck, do buy the physical version!

I love my physical deck and the full book that comes with, and I expected to see the full book in this app. Very disappointed that's not the case. You need to include the book!
