Not every tarot deck wants to reassure you. This one places you in a world where society has collapsed and only the essentials remain: survive, adapt, transform.
Tarot Z by artist Alejandro Colucci takes the structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot and translates it into a zombie apocalypse. The 78 cards follow the familiar arcana, but the images show abandoned cities, survivors, and the confrontation with what truly matters when all structures fall away.
The illustrations are detailed and cinematic. Colucci works with a realistic style that makes the world tangible. The colours are muted, the atmosphere is raw. Zombies do not appear as a horror trope, but as a symbol of what is paralysed, stuck, or numb.
The symbolism remains recognisable for those familiar with the Rider-Waite tradition. The Hanged Man hangs in a ruined building. Death rides through a deserted street. The Star offers hope among rubble. The images are explicit, but not gratuitous. They touch on fear, loss, resilience.
Tarot Z is direct. The cards leave little room for soft interpretations. That makes it suitable for readings where you want no detours, where you want to see the core of a situation without filters.
The deck works well for shadow work and for questions about what truly matters. The apocalyptic setting works as a mirror: what would you do if everything fell away? What remains? Those questions surface naturally.
Draw one card before starting a project or decision and ask yourself: what here is survival instinct, and what is fear?
Alejandro Colucci is an internationally award-winning artist whose work has appeared in books by Anne Rice and Ursula K. Le Guin. He works both traditionally and digitally, combining realism with symbolic depth. His background in literary illustration is visible in the way each card tells a story.
Are the images in this deck very graphic?
The deck shows zombies and devastated environments, which some may find macabre. The emphasis is on symbolic meaning, not violence for violence's sake. The images are intense, but not gratuitous.
Is this deck suitable for beginners?
Yes. It follows the Rider-Waite-Smith structure, so the basic meanings are recognisable. The visual language is strong enough to trigger intuition, even without years of experience. The included guide helps with the specific interpretations of this deck.
