In Between Tarot: Discover the Sacred Space Between the Cards
The In Between Tarot offers a revolutionary perspective on the traditional 78-card deck. Rather than focusing solely on the static moment of a single Arcanum, this deck invites you into the liminal space—the "in-between" moments where one card evolves into the next. Created by Janine Worthington and brought to life through the evocative art of Franco Rivolli, this deck captures the fluid energy of life’s transitions, making it a powerful tool for those seeking to understand the process of change.
The visual style is rich and atmospheric, blending traditional Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism with a sense of motion and storytelling. It reveals the hidden narrative of the tarot, showing us not just where we are, but where we are going and how the journey unfolds.
Symbolism and Themes
The core philosophy of the In Between Tarot is the concept of "becoming." Each card acts as a bridge, illustrating the dynamic relationship between two successive cards in the Tarot sequence. This approach helps the reader visualize the energy of the "transitional moment," providing a deeper layer of meaning to every spread.
By exploring how the Magician begins to transform into the High Priestess, or how the Wheel of Fortune begins its descent toward Justice, the deck emphasizes the connectivity of the human experience. Themes of evolution, cause and effect, and the subtle shifts in our spiritual path are at the forefront of this deck’s wisdom.
The Creators
Janine Worthington
Janine is a dedicated student and teacher of tarot and astrology with the renowned Tarosophy Tarot Association. Her deep academic and spiritual understanding of the cards allowed her to conceptualize the "in-between" spaces that are often felt but rarely visualized in traditional decks.
Franco Rivolli
An accomplished illustrator known for his work with Lo Scarabeo, Franco Rivolli brings a cinematic and emotive quality to the cards. His ability to capture movement and subtle facial expressions is essential in illustrating the transitionary nature of this specific deck.
Practical Use
This deck is exceptionally well-suited for readings regarding personal growth, timing, and relationship dynamics, where the "flow" between states is more important than a fixed outcome. The cards are printed on high-quality cardstock, ensuring they are easy to handle and shuffle for daily practice.
"When using this deck, try a 'Bridge Spread.' Lay two cards from a standard deck and place an In Between Tarot card in the middle to reveal the hidden lesson or action required to move from one stage to the next."

Absolutely. While it is a fantastic companion deck, it functions perfectly as a standalone 78-card Tarot system for any type of question.
