White Fly Tarot – A Dreamy and Modern Take on Tarot
The White Fly Tarot invites you into a world where the traditional and the ethereal meet. Created by Italian illustrator Danilo Sanino, this deck offers a contemporary reimagining of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith system. Through refined, detailed illustrations and a soft, dreamy color palette, Sanino evokes a mysterious atmosphere that feels both fresh and profoundly rooted in tarot history. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a modern aesthetic without sacrificing the archetypal depth of the cards.
About this Deck
The essence of the White Fly Tarot lies in its ability to bridge the gap between our world and the realm of dreams. Sanino’s art style interweaves elements of fantasy with touches of the grotesque, resulting in a poetic yet intense visual experience. This deck is a reflection of over 14 years of mastery in illustration, where rich storytelling meets deep occult symbolism. Each card acts as a window into a unique narrative, encouraging the reader to look beyond the surface and discover hidden layers of meaning within its subtle, flowing lines.
Symbolism and Themes
While the deck honors the foundation of the Rider-Waite-Smith system, it expands upon it through a lens of modern mysticism. The "White Fly" theme suggests something rare, unexpected, and perhaps slightly out of place—much like the insights we gain during a deep reading. The imagery focuses on the psychological and spiritual journey, using a muted but expressive color scheme to highlight the emotional resonance of each arcana. It is a deck designed for those who prefer to read with their intuition and feelings rather than just by the book.
The Creators
Danilo Sanino
Danilo Sanino is an accomplished Italian illustrator with a deep-seated passion for tarot, astrology, and the occult. This deck was born from a period of intense personal and spiritual reflection during the global pandemic, serving as the culmination of his self-taught artistic journey. His connection to the mystical world shines through in every stroke, making this self-published work a true labor of love and a masterpiece of modern tarot art.
Practical Use
The White Fly Tarot is a versatile companion for daily guidance or complex spreads. The cards are printed on high-quality card stock with a smooth, sturdy finish that makes shuffling a seamless experience. The accompanying guidebook provides insights in both English and Italian, covering both upright and reversed meanings to ensure clarity for every seeker.
To fully connect with the ethereal energy of this deck, try a "Silent Reading." Spend a few moments simply gazing at the soft colors of the card you draw before looking up the meaning, allowing the "dream-logic" of the art to speak directly to your subconscious.
