In this episode of The Hermit’s Shelf, I explore the fascinating and cinematic Tarot of the Witches, originally created as the James Bond 007 Tarot for the 1973 film Live and Let Die. Designed by Scottish artist Fergus Hall, this deck blends surrealist art with traditional tarot structure, offering something that feels both theatrical and mysteriously detached.

We’ll dive into the deck’s unique history, from its origins as a film prop to becoming a full 78-card tarot deck, as well as its artistic style, symbolism, and esoteric influences. I’ll also take a closer look at how it reads in practice, exploring its strengths, challenges, and where it truly shines as a working deck.

Whether you’re drawn in by the Bond connection, the striking artwork, or the curiosity of how a film-inspired deck performs in real readings, this is a journey into a tarot deck that sits at the crossroads of cinema, art, and divination.
