Epic Tarot

Design and Artwork

The Epic Tarot Deck, authored by Riccardo Minetti and illustrated by Paolo Martinello, offers a unique and imaginative take on the traditional Rider-Waite tarot structure. It is distinguished by its delightful art and playful interpretation, with four fantasy settings corresponding to the elements and seasons. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal but also deepens the symbolic resonance of each card, inviting users to explore universal questions and spiritual insights.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck releases the linear constraints of traditional tarot, opening up new avenues for storytelling and interpretation. The Epic Tarot Deck's themes revolve around life's challenges, acknowledging negatives like selfishness, betrayal, and karmic debt, while also offering hope and redemption. It's particularly suited for shadow work and inner healing, as its 'darker' yet deep symbolism facilitates profound introspection.

User Experience

Users of the Epic Tarot Deck often feel an instant connection with its cards. The deck's high-quality, glossy card stock is both durable and easy to handle, ensuring a smooth shuffling experience. The accompanying Little White Book (LWB) adds valuable depth and insight, making the deck accessible to beginners and enriching for experienced readers. The deck is praised for its sharp, clear graphics and the comprehensive guidance provided in the instruction booklet.
