FAQ

What makes The Othrysian Tarot different from other mythological decks?

It focuses specifically on the Titans, a lesser-known generation of deities. The copperplate-etching aesthetic gives it a timeless, historical feel.

Why are indie tarot decks like this one often more expensive than mass-produced decks?

Indie decks are printed in smaller batches, often with higher-quality materials and more careful craftsmanship. Artists self-fund and distribute their work without the economies of scale large publishers enjoy. The price reflects the quality and dedication behind each deck.

Yes. The symbolism is accessible, and the booklet provides helpful explanations. It’s also an inspiring study deck for those learning tarot through mythology.
