Not every deck needs to be large to work powerfully. The Wild Unknown Pocket Tarot keeps the full imagery of the original but fits in a coat pocket.
Kim Krans drew the first Wild Unknown Tarot in 2012 and brought a wave of new tarot readers with it. Her style is now recognisable: black and white linework, strategic colour accents, animals instead of human figures. This pocket version offers all 78 cards in the same design, just smaller.
The cards sit in a tin storage box. Not cardboard that creaks after a few months, but solid metal that absorbs impact. The format is 70 x 120 mm, narrower than standard tarot cards but wide enough to see all the details.
The mini guidebook gives a short description for each card. No elaborate stories, but enough to interpret a reading. Everything is in English.
Krans uses animals as carriers of the tarot archetypes. Strength shows a lion, the Star a deer, the Fool a bird in flight. The Major Arcana are directly recognisable for anyone familiar with Rider-Waite-Smith, but the translation into the animal kingdom asks for your own interpretation.
The Minor Arcana show branches, staves, cups and swords in geometric arrangements. Little context, much room for projection. That works well if you are used to reading intuitively, less so if you need fixed anchors.
The black and white linework has strong contrast. Colour appears sparingly: a yellow star, a pink cup, a green branch. Those accents stand out all the more.
This is a travel deck. The tin box protects the cards in a backpack or bag, the size fits in a coat pocket. If you draw a daily card and want to do that away from home, this is more practical than the large format.
The compact size shuffles easily, even with smaller hands. The cards are thin but sturdy enough for regular use.
Draw a card in the morning and put the deck in your pocket. Look at the card again later in the day, especially when you are outdoors. The nature imagery takes on a different charge then.
Kim Krans is an artist, writer and musician. She lives in Portland and released the first Wild Unknown Tarot in 2012 through self-funding. The deck became a bestseller and led to a whole series: the Animal Spirit Oracle, the Archetypes deck, and several books.
Her style is characterised by simplicity and repetition. The same trees, the same animals, the same lines return in all her work. That gives the decks a recognisable signature.
Are the images exactly the same as in the large edition?
Yes. All 78 illustrations are identical to the original, only the format is smaller. The image quality stays sharp.
Is the tin box sturdy enough for daily carrying?
Yes. The box is metal and absorbs impacts that a cardboard box would not survive. The paint may show scratches after long use, but the structure stays intact.
