Design and Artwork
The Ritual Tarot by Tiera May is a unique and artistically rich tarot deck, comprising 78 cards created using analog collage methods. May’s approach involves deconstructing books and vintage paper ephemera to create intricate, intuitive imagery. Inspired by the iconic works of Pamela Colman Smith and Lady Frieda Harris, this deck blends traditional archetypes with a new visual narrative that speaks to both the ancient and the contemporary. The absence of titles or numbers on the cards highlights the integrity of the imagery and encourages a more personal interpretation.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck is deeply rooted in the art of practical magic and the power of ritual. Each card possesses a distinct personality and narrative, forming a language that communicates through images and symbols rather than words. The Ritual Tarot follows the structure of the standard Venetian or Piedmontese tarot, including both the Major and Minor Arcana, and invites users to explore the depths of their psyche and intuition.
User Experience
The lack of titles and numbers on the cards is a deliberate choice to foster a more intimate and intuitive connection with the deck. Users are encouraged to develop their own meanings and approaches, creating their own rituals and personal connections with the cards. This deck is suitable for both experienced tarot readers and those new to tarot, offering a unique journey into self-exploration and introspection.
Spiritual Growth and Intuition
The Ritual Tarot is more than a divination tool; it’s an invitation to participate in a rich, symbolic journey. It aligns with the wisdom of the psyche as described by Joseph Campbell, encouraging users to enact their own myths and rituals through the tarot.

Gorgeous deck! If you love ancient artefacts, sculptures and analogue collage – this is the deck for you!
Spend time with this deck and getting to know it, every time I use it something new comes forward. It stimulates your intuition and enables you to build more on the reading.
Card stock wise – I overhand shuffle which is lovely, size is bigger than tarot, keep that in mind.
Guidebook is focused on the keywords for the Minor Arcana. The Majors have more information, it doesn’t tell the origin of the items used in the collage, in case you are looking for that.
Loving this deck!
