Tarot Cards

Tarot Cards & Tarot Decks:

Tarot cards in this collection range from traditional 78-card decks based on familiar Major and Minor Arcana structures to highly individual artistic interpretations and comprehensive tarot sets with guidebooks. The selection includes decks for learning tarot, established readers and collectors, with artwork spanning Rider-Waite-inspired imagery, monochrome symbolism, fantasy themes and detailed traditional paintings.

78-Card Tarot Card Decks:

Many of the decks contain the standard 78 tarot cards: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The Fantasy World and Eternal Bones decks feature artwork by Vera Petruk, while her Magic Gate Tarot uses hand-drawn monochrome illustrations combining traditional occult imagery with fantasy, animal and alchemical symbols. Magic Gate is designed so the cards can be read using traditional Rider-Waite meanings.

Kaleriia Tverdokhlib’s Celestial Guide Tarot provides another interpretation of the classic structure. Its artwork is inspired by the original Rider-Waite Tarot and the deck includes an instruction guidebook. The Astral Gate Tarot, also illustrated by Tverdokhlib, contains 78 cards but is supplied without a book.

Tarot Sets with Guidebooks:

For readers wanting more than a deck alone, selected tarot products combine cards with substantial supporting material. The revised second edition of The Mary-El Tarot by Marie White includes 78 tarot cards and the updated Landscapes of the Abyss guidebook. Its imagery uses traditional oil paintings and explores symbolism including the Tree of Life, Merkabah and caduceus, with five tarot spreads included.

Choosing Tarot Cards:

When comparing tarot decks, consider how closely you want the imagery to follow established Rider-Waite symbolism. A Rider-Waite-inspired deck can provide familiar visual references, particularly when learning established card meanings, while more interpretive decks offer a different artistic language for experienced readers.

Also check whether the set includes a guidebook. Several Vera Petruk and Kaleriia Tverdokhlib decks are card-only sets, whereas options such as Celestial Guide and The Mary-El Tarot include reading guidance. Artwork is equally important: choose imagery and symbolism that you find clear and engaging, as these visual differences are a defining feature of the tarot card range.
