Design and Artwork

“Eros: The Garden of Love” by Uusi is a limited edition, burlesque-inspired Tarot de Marseilles deck. Created by designers Peter Dunham and Linnea Gits, this deck features cheeky, playful characters and introduces a unique, risqué twist to traditional tarot imagery. The cards are hand-inked and painted with watercolors, lending them an irresistible charm. This deck includes the traditional 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards, plus a 23rd Major Arcana card named “The Seeker” with the infinity symbol, and 5 exclusive “Luna Cards.”

Symbolism and Themes

The Garden of Love Tarot celebrates love in its various forms, interweaving traditional tarot symbolism with elements of sensuality and burlesque humor. The additional Major Arcana card, “The Seeker”, and the unique Luna Cards, enrich the deck with deeper layers of meaning and a fresh perspective on the tarot journey. The playful and slightly naughty nature of the deck makes it a vibrant and unconventional choice for tarot enthusiasts.

User Experience

Printed on luxurious, heavy playing card stock with an embossed linen finish, these cards measure 75mm x 130mm, offering a premium tactile experience. The high-quality paper stock of the tuck box ensures durability.
