Tarot Z – A post-apocalyptic tarot adventure full of instinct and survival
About this deck
Tarot Z is a powerful and visually intense tarot deck that combines the classic symbolism of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot with the dark atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse. With 78 beautifully illustrated cards and a full-color guidebook in a luxurious box, this deck offers a deep and unique tarot experience. Perfect for lovers of horror, the supernatural and those who like to put their intuitive work in an intense visual guise.
Symbolism and themes
The deck is steeped in images from a world where chaos reigns and human survival is at stake. The symbolism of the cards remains true to the Rider-Waite format, but is visually reinterpreted with zombies, abandoned cities, survivors and the ruins of a once known world. Themes such as survival, inner strength, fear, resilience and intuition feature strongly, making the deck particularly suitable for shadow work and deep reflection.
how the deck comes to life in readings

The deck is often praised for its artistic depth, intense atmosphere, and ability to fully immerse you in a world of symbolic transformation.
Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?Yes, absolutely – especially if you have a penchant for the macabre or graphically rich imagery. The Rider-Waite base makes the cards easy to follow, and the guidebook provides sufficient explanation for a smooth start.
