Ritual Tarot

The Ritual Tarot – An intuitive journey through imagery and symbolism

About this deck

The Ritual Tarot by Tiera May is a unique and artistic tarot deck, made up of 80 cards created using analog collage techniques. By deconstructing old books and vintage paper, May has developed an intriguing and intuitive visual language. Inspired by the works of Pamela Colman Smith and Lady Frieda Harris, this deck connects traditional archetypes with a fresh visual interpretation. The cards have no titles or numbers on the front, but the card name is subtly printed on the back, embedded in a zodiac wheel. This 2022 edition includes two bonus cards—Lust and Fool’s Journey—and a compact guidebook that fits neatly into the box.

Background and symbolism

This deck is deeply rooted in the art of practical magic and the power of rituals. Each card carries its own personality and story, communicating through images rather than words. The Ritual Tarot follows the structure of classical Venetian or Piedmontese tarot, with both Major and Minor Arcana. The visual style is poetic, dreamy, and symbolic, inviting you to discover layers of meaning intuitively without text on the front side.

Practical use

Many people experience this deck as an extension of their inner world. The absence of titles on the front creates stillness and openness, while the back side offers subtle support through the integrated card names. The cards invite daily rituals, reflection, and spiritual deepening. The compact guidebook gives clear insights without overwhelming, making this deck suitable for personal exploration as well as deeper readings.

Is this deck suitable for beginners?

Beginners are often surprised by the inviting energy of this deck. The visual narrative carries you along without needing to know all the meanings right away. Thanks to the card names on the back, beginners still feel supported while their intuition grows. It’s a calm, creative way to gradually get to know tarot.

Material and design

The cards are printed on sturdy, matte-laminated cardstock with a soft texture that feels pleasant in the hand. The finish is durable, carefully chosen to do justice to the collage-style design. The compact guidebook fits perfectly in the sturdy box, making the set practical for everyday use or travel. The card size is 130 x 90 mm, and the weight is 505 grams.
