There are tarot decks that use the sun as their central symbol. This deck chooses the moon. Everything in the imagery revolves around nocturnal scenes, dreamscapes and creatures that belong in fairy tales.
Karen Marie Sweikhardt illustrated the 78 cards with unicorns, fairies, dragons and dolphins. The colours are soft, often pastel, and the mood is peaceful. Each image is printed borderless, so the figures fill the entire card surface. The edges are finished with purple foil, which reinforces the dreamlike tone.
The imagery is based on a poem by Sweikhardt herself. Nature and fantasy merge. You see flowers, water, forests and creatures that act as guides through the card.
The structure follows classical tarot: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana, divided into Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. The symbolism remains recognizable for those familiar with RWS, but the atmosphere is softer. Where some decks seek sharpness and contrast, this deck chooses wistfulness and calm.
The cards are printed on linen cardstock, which gives a slight texture. They shuffle smoothly. The format is 70 x 120 mm, standard for many tarot decks.
The guidebook explains the cards with brief descriptions and meanings. It also includes some rituals linked to moon phases. That fits the tone of the deck: reflection, cycle, inner work.
Many people use this deck for readings where emotions are central. It lends itself well to questions about feelings, relationships and inner processes. The imagery is soft enough not to be confrontational, yet layered enough to offer depth.
Draw a card at full moon or new moon and see how the cycle relates to what you are feeling at that moment. The images are designed to move with those rhythms.
Karen Marie Sweikhardt is an illustrator working in the United States. She combines traditional tarot symbolism with fantasy elements. Her work is characterized by soft colours, natural forms and a preference for magical creatures as carriers of meaning.
Does this deck follow the Rider-Waite structure?
Yes. The sequence and division are the same as RWS. The imagery is different, but the symbolic core remains recognizable.
Are the cards suitable for daily drawing?
That depends on what you are looking for. The deck has a dreamy, subdued tone. If you want something sharp or confrontational, this is less suitable. For reflection and emotional work it works strongly.
