The Relative Tarot, created by Carrie Paris and Tina Hardt, is a unique tarot deck that blends vintage 19th-century photography with traditional tarot imagery. This deck features ancestors from diverse ethnic backgrounds and walks of life, aiming to facilitate a connection with one’s own heritage.

Deck Features and Quality

This spirited deck is distinguished by its photographic collages that integrate seamlessly with familiar tarot symbols. It includes multiple versions of key Major Arcana cards, allowing readers to choose representations that align with their sexual orientation and gender identity. The deck’s Minor Arcana reflects the physical manifestations of life lessons through each suit’s unique initiations and challenges. The gilded edges and high-quality card stock add to the deck’s tactile and visual appeal.

User Experience and Interpretation

The accompanying guidebook provides a comprehensive approach to using the deck, including methods to calculate personal birth, annual, and significator cards, inspired by the works of Mary K.
