Tarot of the Divine - Yoshi Yoshitani

English edition.

Most tarot decks work with classical Western symbolism. Tarot of the Divine works with folk tales, myths, and deities from over forty countries – from the Little Mermaid from Denmark to Aladdin from Persia, from the Crane Wife from Japan to the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai. Familiar tarot archetypes in a global guise. Do you want to buy tarot cards? This special deck is ready for you.

The 78 cards are fully illustrated by Yoshi Yoshitani, a Californian artist with a distinct multicultural perspective and a background with, among others, Disney, DC Comics, and Netflix. The Major Arcana are each embodied by a character from a world story – The Fool is the naive Little Mermaid, The Lovers are the Chinese Beauty and the Beast, The World is the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai. The Minor Arcana are enriched with legends and mythologies from China, Japan, Persia, Norway, India, Greece, and more.

The accompanying guidebook explains for each card which story was chosen and why it aligns with traditional tarot themes. A deck that not only teaches you to read but also invites you to discover the world.
