Design and Artwork
The Tarot of the Little Prince is inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved novel. The deck, created by Rachel Paul with artwork by Martina Rossi, features whimsical and evocative illustrations. The cards measure 65x118 mm, making them a comfortable size for small hands. The art follows the Rider-Waite-Smith symbols and structure, offering a sense of nostalgia while still connecting deeply with the spirit and soul.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck is designed to help users explore romantic relationships and other life questions with a touch of innocence and imagination. The symbolism is rooted in the story of the Little Prince, making it essential for users to be familiar with the book's metaphors and themes. The deck’s emotionally complex and sentimental nature makes it ideal for both interpersonal and intrapersonal readings.
User Experience
The Tarot of the Little Prince is praised for its handling and shuffling ease. The cards are not too thick, providing a good balance between flexibility and durability. However, the paper box is less durable than a cardboard one. The illustrations are faithful to the story, though the reversed card indicators could be clearer. Users who appreciate creative deviations from the traditional RWS imagery will enjoy the unique blend of RWS and Little Prince elements.
