Design and Inspiration
The
Wayhome Tarot, created by Bakara Wintner and Autumn Whitehurst, is a 78-card deck with each card meticulously illustrated to embody various archetypes. The collaboration between Wintner and Whitehurst, which began in a Brooklyn dog park, combines their mutual Scorpio passion for esotericism and the occult, and belief in cartomancy.
Artistic Process and Vision
The deck's creation involved a detailed, card-by-card review in Whitehurst's Gowanus studio, striving to find the perfect visual representation for each tarot archetype. Their combined efforts – Whitehurst's mature classic aesthetic and Wintner’s youthful exuberance – led to a deck that is both luminous and profound, reimagining the magic in everyday life.
Experience and Accessibility
Wayhome Tarot is designed to be user-friendly, suitable for all levels of tarot experience. The deck radiates a surprisingly sunny disposition for its depth, making the mystical accessible and relatable through its enchanting imagery of everyday objects.
Collaborative Journey
The creation of this deck was a transformative collaborative effort involving artists, designers, and technologists. Immersed in the Catskill mountains, the team delved deep into their psyches, resulting in a deck that is a testament to collective divination and creative experimentation.
