Tarot Hall of Fame— 50+ Unique Tarot Decks by Theme (including 2020 newly-released decks)
Exotic art at one place — Beautifully crafted and styled tarot decks depicting history, race, gender, nature, and spirituality.
This piece is a supplementary appendix, or rather, tarot glossary, to another piece that I have written here, where I detail all the key things to note when looking for an ideal tarot deck. I guide you through the different types of information that you can find online about tarot, and tell you about other fundamental aspects of a tarot deck, including tarot systems, themes, expressive focus, and illustration style.
If you want more information and direction on deck selection, go read that article first now and save this for later. You will be directed back when you reach the part where I discuss about tarot card themes.
“How to Choose The Right Tarot Deck For Yourself — Step by Step Guide & Checklist”
I am sooo into beautiful tarot decks and I figure that there are simply far too many of them that I want to showcase, so I decided to create this separate portal for good, to house all tarot decks in, in one virtual canvas.
Alternatively, if you are just casually browsing tarot decks for fun, or are looking to be impressed by art imbued with profound meaning, wander no more, you have stumbled into the right place.
Without further ado, let us begin the one and only, glorious Tour of the Tarot.
Yes, I just made that up.

Solaris Tarot — Star-Wars-inspired Tarot Deck
The incredibly talented artist Elithian has been creating a ravishing Star-Wars-themed tarot deck for 3 years. I first discovered her art from Pinterest and has become a fan since because her art moves me in a visceral way, and I am not even particularly much of a Star Wars fan. The deck is completed at last in 2019, debuting under the name Solaris Tarot. Second batch is available for pre-order at Kickstarter.
