Tarot + Divination

Neo Tarot is a book and tarot box set via Hardie Grant/Chronicle. It includes 78 full-colour tarot cards with a beautiful illustrated, 144-page guide book.

The tarot is an empowering tool that has been used for divination over the centuries. In Neo Tarot, Jerico Mandybur offers a refreshing and intelligent look at the ancient cards and practices, showing you that they can be used as healing tool for self care, greater clarity, and self-awareness.

With a 78-strong deck illustrated by artist Daiana Ruiz alongside—with relatable explanations of the profound symbolism of each card—this inclusive modern guidebook is a mixture of revealing insights, practical wisdom, and actionable exercises that readers can incorporate into their self-care practice instantly, and watch their self-love flourish.

Keeping time-honored symbolism and imagery, but losing the medieval context, this the This Might Hurt Tarot Deck is designed to be both easy to read and highly relatable. Clothing and scenery are modernized, diversity is embraced, and queerness is lovingly acknowledged. 

The cards themselves measure 4.75"x 2.75" and are printed on high-quality 350 gsm matte art paper. Each card has a shiny gilded edge to add just a bit of magic with Holographic Pearl Edges. The deck comes in a solid cardboard box with gold foil and magnetic closure, complete with a guidebook with introduction, card descriptions, and a full page black and white image of each card. 

The deck, like most tarot decks, will consist of 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards. All of the court cards, and a few other select Minor Arcana cards, are portraits of real people in my life.

The Japanese word: "sasuraibito" most closely translates to "wanderer." It's an old-fashioned literary term that is falling out of use, meant to describe a person ever-seeking, searching for a place of healing and refuge. This deck is designed to aid the curious wanderer, and accompany you on your adventures to come.

This 78 card deck is inspired loosely by the Raider-Waite deck, contemporary living in the Western world, and Japanese and Buddhist concepts and ideals.

The cards measure 2.75''×4.75'' (70mm×120mm) on 330gsm (super smooth) glossy card stock, and are encased in a beautiful, sturdy lidded box featuring the card back design.

Also included is a 63-page guidebook, with brief notes on the meanings and symbolism of my cards. The deck is loosely inspired by the Rider-Waite tarot deck. While some cards follow common iconography fairly closely (Strength, The World), others diverge strongly from tradition (Death, Judgment). Common themes in the deck are the key points in the cycle of life, embracing endings and keeping the fool's open mind.

The deck is 100% watercolor by Laura Zuspan. I chose this medium for its combination of lush, ethereal, emotional color, and organic accident.

"I was already painting when, as a small child, my maternal grandmother and aunt introduced me to the Tarot and psychic realms. I combined my artistic career with my healing practice at the San Francisco Art Institute while earning a bachelor’s degree, then went on to practice evolving forms of art and mystical practice in New York City, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2014 I created, in my art studio, a dedicated Tarot reading room, and began seeing clients there. This led to the merging of my two passions into an all-encompassing art project.

Mainstream culture has a distorted picture of the Tarot, of flashing neon signs and shady ‘fortune telling'. My practice involves re-contextualizing this ancient art form as an ethical, emotionally intelligent healing practice, viewing the Tarot as a cycle of universal archetypes and symbols, which map human psychology and consciousness. Inspiration for the Luminous Void arose from Tibetan Buddhist concepts of Crazy Wisdom and the Rainbow Body, Trickster Medicine, and mystical Medieval manuscripts, as well as the modern art world. My intention is to create a playful, contemporary, artistic deck infused with spiritual and historical context.

The deck has rounded tops and bottoms resembling medieval playing cards from the 15th century, found at the Cloisters in NYC.

This is a unique deck following its own voice. I really only had so much control over the outcome. My hope is it can induce a state of play, hope and a deepening of your own intuition, insight and wisdom."

Many Queens Tarot is a tarot deck with a more inclusive definition of femininity, beauty, and body image.

The characters in this deck blend the boundaries between gender, sex, family, friendship, shape and size. They celebrate the beauty in our differences and the love we can find in ourselves.

The cards are larger than a typical tarot card at 3.5" x 5." This size will better show off the details of the illustrations.

The cardstock is heavy and high quality at 330 gsm (grams per square meter), black core premium plus. The finish on the cards is varnish to protects the ink and prevents scratches.

The cards come in a two-piece box covered in the eye pattern on the back of the deck. A 16-page booklet with some divination information is included in the box.

In the Dark Exact Tarot Deck, as with any tarot deck, you will find your whole life. All the opportunities and challenges of existence are described in the Fool’s Journey of the Major Arcana and the four suits of the Minor Arcana. The Dark Exact Tarot represents the characters of the Major Arcana as plants, animals, objects, and alchemical symbols instead of the traditional human figures, offering the reader a chance to explore more personal associations and links to each card’s content. The four suits are represented graphically, but the positions of the symbols are inspired by traditional decks. Elemental symbols corresponding to each suit provide additional visuals to aid your interpretation.

The Ophidia Rosa Tarot came to be over a year-long period, cared for and pondered through four seasons of natural change. While framed by the tarot's ancient tradition and structure, my botanical world―full of such transformation, from the soil to the seedling, the sprout and the bloom―placed an emphasis on change bursting forth all around me.
Something more intuitively tangible was born of the tarot, where even the phases of the moon and the mysterious, serpentine movements of creatures in the garden brimmed with a power for prophecy, contemplation, redemption and a quest.
Each of these 78 cards draws on the tarot's timeworn truth carried closer to home. There's always something growing in our hearts, transforming ourselves and our visions, from the soil to the stars.
