Product information
Under the Oak Tarot - a blind girl who feels magic
Not every tarot tells a story. This one does. Under the Oak Tarot takes you to an island with a giant oak, where Anima lives. She is blind but feels the magic in every blade of grass, in every gust of wind.
The deck is designed by Jessica di Fraia and illustrated by Elena Bia. Together they created a tarot in which fiction and fact intertwine, and in which the cards follow each other as narrative threads.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations are dreamlike and detailed. Bia draws with close attention to facial expressions and natural elements. The colours are soft but not childish.
The central oak returns as a symbol of stability and rootedness. Anima herself appears in different cards, each time from a different perspective on what she feels rather than what she sees.
The deck follows the classic tarot structure: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The naming and numbering are orthodox, the imagery is not.
How you read with it
The storyline makes the deck suitable for spreads in which you look for connections between different areas of life. Di Fraia worked consciously with the idea of 'inner sight': what happens when you cannot see but you can feel?
The cards read like comic frames. Lay them side by side and tell the story that Anima walks through. This helps you recognise patterns you might otherwise overlook.
Use one card per day and ask yourself: what would Anima feel here, if she experienced this situation?

Questions we often get
Does this deck follow the classic tarot structure?
Yes. The 78 cards are divided into Major and Minor Arcana, and the numbering and naming align with the Rider-Waite tradition. The imagery is unique.
What exactly is a lift-top box?
A box consisting of two parts that slide over each other. This protects the cards better than a standard folding box and lasts longer with frequent use.
