The Mythical Creatures Tarot

The Mythical Creatures Tarot - folklore and fantasy in a tarot world of dragons, merfolk, phoenixes, and dryads

You open the box and step into a tarot world where myth walks right into the picture. In the Major Arcana, familiar figures stand beside dragons, nymphs, trolls, and griffins. In the Minor Arcana, the creatures return again and again, as if each element has its own voice. The artwork is unique for every card, and each card also carries a keyword that points your attention in a clear direction.

This tarot deck includes 78 cards and a 176-page, full-colour hardback companion book, in English, published by CICO Books.

Why choose these cards?

This deck treats mythical creatures as a steady layer of meaning, not as decoration. The Major Arcana blends traditional tarot roles with folklore figures, so familiar themes still feel fresh to look at. In the Minor Arcana, the structure follows the elements: Swords link to Air and dragons, Cups to Water and merfolk, Wands to Fire and phoenixes, and Pentacles to Earth and dryads. That makes it easier to sense the tone of each suit, even when you want a quick reading.

The companion book is illustrated and in full colour. It explains what you need to begin, offers several card layouts, and gives a detailed interpretation for every card. Each entry also includes an affirmation, so you have words to carry forward after the image lands.

Who is this product suitable for?

This deck reads well if you like working through stories and creatures. You can quickly see who arrives on the card and which element is speaking, and that can help you find language for what’s going on. The keyword is a clear first handle, especially if you’re still building your tarot practice.

If you prefer a very minimal tarot without fantasy imagery, a classic deck may feel more natural. Here, the mythic setting is always present, even in simple readings.

Tips for use

Pull four cards, one from each suit, and ask: what’s in my mind (Swords), what’s moving in my feelings (Cups), what wants action (Wands), what needs steady care (Pentacles).
