I’ve finally compiled a list of the most beautiful and coolest tarot decks out at the moment. It’s taken me some time to narrow the list down to the top 8, but I did it! While compiling the list I tried to keep everyone in mind, because let’s face it, everyone is attracted to a tarot deck for different reasons. I also steered clear of the “old favorites” like the Llewellyn and Rider-Waite decks. The decks on this list are hot favorites and considered some of the most beautiful, coolest cards to have.
First up we have the most beautiful tarot decks. These showcase exquisite and simplistic designs, but with a modern twist. They’re all super stylish!
The Linestrider Tarot Deck
This beautiful deck was created by Siolo Thompson, who went to great lengths to ensure that each card was just right. There is a lot of animal influence in this card, and the balance between the conscious and subconscious is expressed beautifully with the black and white illustrations interspersed with splashes of color. In her own words… “The deck is gentle and whimsical while not being overly superficial.”
It is based on the Rider-Waite deck, but the illustrations add a fairytale component that softens the overall tarot experience.
The Pagans Otherworld Tarot Deck
Linnea Gits meticulously hand painted each of these beautiful tarot cards, while Peter Dunham lettered each card by hand. The soft effect of the oil on canvas brings the story of the tarot to life. While the Pagans Otherworld Tarot deck is based on the traditional Rider-Waite deck, this deck contains 84 cards. An extra Major Arcana card, “The Seeker”, and five extra luna cards were added to optimise tarot readings. It has been called “groundbreaking” and the artists definitely succeeded in making a modern, relevant deck that embodies the soulful and contemplative nature of tarot.
