Summary

Embrace the spiritual and intuitive power of tarot cards with your favorite modern anime characters and symbols.

The power of the 78 cards of the Tarot is that they can nurture our spirituality in increasingly creative and modern ways. And what better way to do that than by combining the classic symbolism of tarot with the fun and consistently appearing archetypes in anime?

In this creative deck, you’ll discover pairings like The Empress, a card representing femininity, beauty, nurturing, and abundance, as the Yamato Nadeshiko character archetype, which is the epitome of purity, poise, kindness, and honesty; or The Hermit, a card linked to solitude and soul-searching, portrayed as the Hikikomori archetype, since modern-day hermits that rely heavily on technology and social media; and 76 more!

We all have an unrealized version of our true potential lying in wait, and what better way to see this potential than through our favorite anime characters? Filled with vibrant illustrations and an institutive guidebook Anime Tarot is a must-have for any fan looking to expand their worldview through their favorite genre.
