Blood Moon Tarot

Blood Moon Tarot – a narrative tarot deck with watercolor illustrations

Blood Moon Tarot by Sam Guay is a tarot deck with 78 fully illustrated cards. The cards are hand-painted in watercolor and together form a visual whole in which personal mythology, nature, and dream imagery come together. The Major Arcana consists of narrative, dream-like scenes. The Minor Arcana is divided into four series: Dreams, Songs, Skins, and Honey. The deck works primarily through imagery, atmosphere, and observation rather than fixed symbolic systems.

Why choose this deck?
