The Visionary's Tarot Deck

€40.00

The Visionary’s Tarot is a celebration of the creative’s journey and the deep, undeniable link between community and artistic growth. This deck is a manifestation of that belief: a shared offering built by 78 artists globally.

Each card in this deck was created by a different artist, with their interpretations rooted in their own creative journeys. This deck honors many voices, many visions, and the collective wisdom that comes from sharing our experience.

View more information and an overview of each card here.

Product Information:

This 78-card deck is printed on 350gsm white core stock with a matte UV finish and gilded gold edges, housed in a magnetic rigid box with gold foil stamping, a green ribbon lift, and an anti-scratch matte finish. The set also includes a full-color, 174-page guidebook with upright meanings, keywords, and an artist statement for each card.

All orders will ship out within 1-3 days.
