About this Deck
The Arcana 78 Tarot is a unique deck that brings together 78 different artists from all over the world. This collaborative project follows the classic Rider-Waite-Smith structure, featuring 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. Each card is a unique work of art, making this deck a beautiful gallery in the palm of your hand. The set comes in a special gate-shaped collector’s box and includes a physical guidebook to help you with your interpretations.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck explores the traditional themes of tarot through many different eyes. Because each artist has a unique style, you will see diverse visual interpretations of classic archetypes. For example, The Fool represents new beginnings and spontaneity, while The Empress focuses on abundance and harmony with nature. Even intense cards like The Tower are included, showing moments of sudden change and transformation. From the intuition of The High Priestess to the harmony of The Lovers, the deck stays true to traditional meanings while offering a fresh, global perspective.
The Creators
Instead of a single author, this deck is the result of a massive creative partnership. It was created by Ling Zhong, Xue Wu, and Sha “Lisa” Li. Their goal was to unite diverse artistic visions into one cohesive tarot set. The deck is an independent production, reflecting the passion of the artists involved rather than a standard commercial publishing house.
Practical Use
With cards measuring 66 x 120 mm, this deck is a standard size that feels comfortable for shuffling and daily use. The traditional Rider-Waite-Smith system makes it easy for anyone to use, whether you are a beginner or an experienced reader. The included guidebook (in English and Chinese) provides helpful insights for every reading, ensuring you can connect with the energy of each card.
Usage tip: Since every card is drawn by a different artist, try to focus on the unique colors and emotions of each image to find deeper personal meanings during your reading.
