Product information
Fey Tarot - fairy folklore meets classic tarot structure
Some tarot decks demand study. This one communicates on sight. The fairy figures drawn by illustrator Mara Aghem carry their emotions so openly that the mood of a card lands before you reach for a book.
The deck is published by Lo Scarabeo, with the concept developed by Riccardo Minetti and the illustrations by Aghem. The classic 78-card Rider-Waite-Smith structure remains intact. What changes is the entire visual world around it.
What you see on the cards
The fairy figures move, hesitate, wonder and celebrate in ways that map directly onto the emotional core of each card. Aghem is known for capturing light and movement, and both are visible throughout the deck. The palette is warm and confident.
The symbolism draws on a range of cultural representations of the Fey and has enough layers to keep revealing details across many readings. Recurring themes include connection to nature, trust in intuition, and a curious gaze at everyday life. That last quality shows up literally in the eyes of the figures themselves.
How you work with it
Because emotions are so visibly expressed in posture and expression, this deck works well when you use feeling as your starting point. That applies especially to personal questions around emotional situations, blocked patterns, or creative choices. Anyone familiar with RWS-based decks will recognise the underlying structure immediately.
The guidebook is in English and covers the specific fairy interpretation and symbolism for each card. It does not include extended spread instructions, but the card descriptions are concrete enough to work with straight away.
Try framing your question as 'What if...' rather than 'What should I do?' and see how the playful imagery leads you somewhere you did not expect.
