Digital painting has carved out its own place in tarot. The Thelema Tarot by Renata Lechner shows why: sharp details, vivid colours, and a compositional clarity that traditional techniques rarely achieve with this level of consistency.
The deck follows the Rider-Waite structure, which means you will find all the familiar archetypes. The Fool, the Hanged Man, the Tower: they are all here, but drawn with a soft, dreamlike atmosphere that gives the cards a contemporary feel. The name refers to the esoteric philosophy of Thelema, centred on the concepts of will and personal freedom.
The images are layered without becoming cluttered. Lechner works with realistic figures in settings that are just a bit too beautiful to be real. This gives the cards an almost cinematic quality.
Colour plays a major role. Blue, purple and gold recur frequently, especially in the Major Arcana. The Minor Arcana are quieter in tone, but there too you see attention to texture and atmosphere. All cards feature a full scene, no minimalist representations.
The symbolism aligns with the Rider-Waite tradition, which means most tarot books and online resources apply directly. This makes the deck accessible, even for those just starting out.
The cards are printed on sturdy cardstock with a matte finish. This shuffles more pleasantly than glossy, because the cards do not stick together. The size is 70 x 120 mm, standard for Lo Scarabeo tarot cards.
The guidebook is multilingual and offers brief meanings for each card, plus a few sample spreads. Enough to get started, not enough to build your entire practice on. For deeper interpretations you will want to look elsewhere.
Draw a card in the morning and place it in front of you during breakfast. The images are clear enough to evoke something immediately, without needing to think too long about it.
Renata Lechner is a digital artist who specialises in tarot and oracle cards. Her work is characterised by a combination of realistic portraits and dreamlike backgrounds. Besides the Thelema Tarot, she has designed several decks, all with a recognisable visual style.
Does this deck follow the Rider-Waite tradition?
Yes. The structure and symbolism follow the Rider-Waite standard, which means you can use all common tarot resources for interpretations.
Is the matte finish better than glossy?
That depends on your preference. Matte cards shuffle more smoothly and show fingerprints less readily. Glossy cards display colours slightly more vividly, but can stick together during shuffling.
