Tarot Cards

This list of tarot decks is arranged by title.  One deviation from standard listings is that, for ease of use, titles beginning with "Tarot of the" are arranged by subsequent object; e.g., "Tarot of the Cat People" is listed as "Cat People, Tarot of the."  

Our intention is to list all known major varieties of tarot cards, including both out-of-print decks and decks that are currently in print.  Highlighted titles are hyperlinked to other pages (either on this website or other websites) offering additional information on, and a graphic depiction of, the specific deck mentioned.

 

• Alchemical Tarot, The.  By Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Robert M. Place. 
• Aleister Crowley Tarot Cards.  
• Ancient Egyptian Tarot.  By Clive Barret. 
• Ancient Minchiate Etruria.  97-card tarot of the Renaissance, complete with 12 astrological signs and 4 elements.  
• Angel Tarot.
• Aquarian Tarot Cards.  This used to be an extremely popular deck, back when we were all singing about the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, but it seems that it might have now gone out of print.
• Art Nouveau Tarot.
• Arthurian Tarot Cards.  Created by Caitlin and John Matthews.  Illustrated by Miranda Gray.  
• Bosch Tarot.  Not done by Hieronymus Bosch (he didn't actually design any tarot cards), but inspired by his artistry.  People have the same reaction to these cards that they do to Bosch's work, so the artist certainly succeeded in that regard - some love it, some hate it.
• Cat People, Tarot of the.  
• Cagliostro Tarot Cards.
• Cosmic Tribe Tarot.  By Steve Postman and Eric Ganther.
• Crowley Thoth Tarot Deck.  By Aleister Crowley.
• Crystal Tarot.  By Lo Scarabeo of Italy.
• Dali Universal Tarot.  Designed by Salvador Dali.  One of the most beautiful (and expensive!) sets of tarot cards currently in print.
• Deluxe Rider-Waite Tarot.  Rider Waite design, but cards edged in gilt.  Currently out of print.
• Deva Tarot.  From Piatnik.  Not out of print, but not currently available, either.

• Eclectic Tarot.  Another Piatnik tarot deck, this one is out of print.
• Egorov Tarot - Was published by Piatnik.  Artwork by Russian illustrator.  Not currently available in USA.
• Egyptian Tarot.
• Elementary Tarot.  By Roberta Peters.  Published as a deck and book set by Caxton Editions, London, 2000.  The 96-page book is attractive and useful, and every page is in color.  The 78-card deck is likewise attractive, our only criticism being that the back design, in black and gray, looks like a Rorschach test.  Cards measure approximately 3-3/8 inches wide by 5-1/8 inches high.
• Faery Wicca Tarot.  By Kisma K. Stepanich, illustrated by Renée Christine Yates.  83 cards.  Blend of Irish mythology and modern Faery Wicca.
