Wayhome Tarot – The Magic of the Everyday
The Wayhome Tarot is a breath of fresh air in the world of cartomancy, offering a bridge between the mystical and the mundane. Born from a chance encounter in a Brooklyn dog park, this 78-card deck is the result of a profound collaboration between Bakara Wintner and Autumn Whitehurst. It captures a "vibe" that is both ethereal and grounded, turning the archetypes of the Tarot into recognizable, everyday moments that resonate with our modern lives.
The visual style is a stunning marriage of Whitehurst’s refined, classical aesthetic and Wintner’s playful, intuitive perspective. Each card feels like a window into a familiar world, yet one where the veil is thin and the magic is palpable. It is a deck that invites you to feel at home within your own intuition.
Symbolism and Themes
The Wayhome Tarot follows the traditional 78-card structure but breathes new life into the symbolism. Rather than relying on dense, medieval occult imagery, it utilizes the "magic of the everyday." The themes focus on self-discovery, esoteric wisdom, and the realization that spiritual growth happens in our current surroundings—not just in hidden temples or ancient texts.
The deck radiates a layered energy; it is light and accessible enough for a morning "card-pull" ritual, yet deep enough to hold space for complex, soul-searching readings. By using imagery that reflects the here and now, the deck helps the reader anchor high-vibrational concepts into practical, actionable insights.

Practical Use
