Yukika Tarot - A Dreamy Sanctuary of Watercolor and Light
About this deck
The Yukika Tarot is a deck of 80 hand-painted cards that takes you into a soft, grounded world. The watercolor illustrations feel human and approachable, like a wise friend sitting beside you. This is the 2nd edition of a deck that came to life through Kickstarter after two years of work. It was made for people with big hearts: the artist filled with doubt, the beginner, and anyone experiencing burnout.
Symbolism and themes
The deck follows the familiar Rider-Waite-Smith structure, but seen through a personal, modern lens. Some cards have been adapted or renamed, yet the essence remains recognizable. The atmosphere centers on grounding and mindfulness. Soft watercolor tones combine with pink-blue holographic accents on the edges and box to make this deck truly special. The name 'Yukika' translates to 'happy flower' and invites you to inhabit your body fully.
The creator
Stasia Burrington is a Japanese-American artist who describes herself as 'messy and fluid'. She openly shares her background as a queer, neurodivergent daughter of cult members. Her personal experiences translate into watercolor paintings that remain soft yet never lose clarity. Each of the 80 cards is an original artwork created between 2023 and 2025.
Practical use
This deck is perfect for visual-first reading: observe the imagery and emotional resonance before naming the traditional meaning. The sturdy 350 gsm paper and matte finish make the cards sit calmly in your hands. The included 100-page guidebook offers personal, honest insights without rigid definitions. Ideal for daily reflections or more complex spreads during times of transition.
Lay three cards: one for your body, one for your current surroundings, and one for your next step. Read the visual story first, then consult the guidebook for deeper grounding.
