The Fablemaker's Animated Tarot Deck

The Fablemaker's Animated Tarot Deck – animated tarot in 8 frames

You feel it right away: this is tarot that refuses to sit still. The Fablemaker's Animated Tarot Deck uses lenticular printing so the images shift and come alive when you tilt the card. A reading can suddenly feel different, as if the symbolism gains an extra layer you don’t just see, but experience while you look.

Why choose these cards?

This tarot deck combines the familiar foundation of the Rider-Waite tradition with a modern, interactive form. Each card is built as a looping 8-frame animation, so details slide and highlights appear as you move the card. That makes drawing and interpreting visually dynamic, without needing a screen or an app. In practice, it can encourage you to stay with a card longer, because the image keeps inviting your attention and your interpretation naturally shifts with it.

About the creator

Misty Bourne is known for bringing traditional systems together with modern technology. In this deck, that shows up in the way tarot structure and animation are approached as one whole, with art direction, design, illustration, and animation developed together. Concept direction and descriptions were provided by Ricardo Evanghelo and Misty Bourne of Hit Point Press, giving the deck a clear, cohesive style that remains recognizable across the cards.

Who is this product for?

This deck can feel especially natural if you already know Rider-Waite-style imagery, because the illustrations are familiar, but made new through motion. Beginners can also work with it, particularly if you like learning through visuals and you enjoy how a card holds your focus while you look up meanings. When reading for others, it can create an effortless pause and shared attention, because you end up looking at the image together for longer.

Tips for use

Pull one card, tilt it slowly a few times, and say out loud which detail “moves” first in your attention before you read the meaning. For a simple spread, draw three cards for “what’s present,” “what’s moving underneath,” and “what asks for action.”

The Fablemaker's Animated Tarot Deck is a 78-card tarot deck with lenticular animations, created to make classic symbolism visible in a new way while you read.
