Tarot made Easy

Tarot Made Easy - minimalist tarot based on Rider-Waite-Smith

Some tarot decks stack layer upon layer of symbolism. This deck does the opposite. Kim Arnold has reduced the classic Rider-Waite-Smith imagery to the core: what do you need to see to understand the card?

The result is a visually calm deck with clean lines and a modern colour palette. No clutter, no decoration for decoration's sake. Each card shows what matters.

What you see on the cards

The imagery follows the traditional RWS structure, but without the details that often distract beginners. Central figures stand out clearly. Colours are muted and calm. Symbolism is present, but not intrusive.

The format is compact: 70 x 120 mm. The cards have a smooth coating that makes shuffling easy. They sit comfortably in the hand and are sturdy enough for daily use.

Who this deck is designed for

This deck is designed for beginners. The guidebook contains clear meanings for each card and simple spreads you can apply immediately. No philosophical digressions, just direct texts that connect to everyday questions.

Advanced readers also like to use this deck as a daily workhorse. Precisely because the images are so stripped down, they leave room for your own interpretation without having to filter through visual noise.

Draw one card each morning and first look only at the colours and the central figure. What do you feel before you read the meaning? That strengthens your own voice.

Questions we often get

Does this deck follow the traditional tarot structure?
Yes. The deck is based on the Rider-Waite-Smith system. So you learn the fundamentals you will also encounter in other decks.

What makes this deck different from other beginner decks?
The visual simplification. Many beginner decks add keywords or extra guidance on the cards. This one reduces the imagery itself, which trains you to read intuitively.
