The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn mapped out a web of astrological and Kabbalistic correspondences in the late nineteenth century that has since found its way into many tarot decks. Anima Tarot builds explicitly on that framework, adding alchemy, Jungian psychology, and mythology to the mix.
The deck is published by Lo Scarabeo in April 2026. The text and card interpretations are by Anna Oginski; the illustrations are by Catherine Asterdis.
Catherine Asterdis worked the illustrations in considerable detail. The cards carry symbols pointing to multiple traditions at once: alchemical signs, mythological figures, astrological attributes. Anyone used to a restrained visual style will find a lot to read here.
Every Arcanum holds both a light and a shadow side, and Oginski's guidebook addresses both. That distinction between light and shadow reflects a Jungian approach that is less common in standard tarot guidebooks.
The 128-page guidebook is written in English by Oginski. She explains the meaning of each card with attention to the symbolic layer behind the illustration. The focus is on understanding: what a card means, what the imagery says, and how light and shadow relate to each other.
This is a deck for people who enjoy layered symbolism and are willing to take time to read what the cards show. The imagery rewards attention.
Anna Oginski is a lead teacher at the Lenormand Academy, a training centre focused on reading Lenormand cards. She previously authored the Romantic Lenormand Oracle. Her approach is content-driven, aimed at building knowledge of divination systems.
Catherine Asterdis illustrated the deck. The available information does not include further biographical details about her background.
Is this a good first tarot deck?
The guidebook explains each card's meaning, including the symbolic background. The illustrations are detailed and the content draws on several esoteric traditions at once. Readers without prior knowledge of alchemy, astrology, or Jungian psychology will have more to look up than they would with a straightforward introductory deck.
What language are the cards and guidebook in?
The guidebook is in English. The available information does not specify card titles or text in other languages.
