78 Tarot Ecological Limited Edition Deck and Book

The 78 Tarot Ecological is a collaborative 78-card tarot deck, the seventh in a series from the 78 Tarot Project, led by Kayti Welsh. This edition focuses on the theme of "Healing Earth," bringing together a diverse group of artists to interpret the traditional tarot archetypes through an ecological lens. Each card is a unique piece of art, contributing to a collective vision of environmental awareness and connection to nature.

The deck includes a guidebook and is housed in a clamshell box. The collaborative nature of the 78 Tarot Project means that while the overall theme is consistent, the individual artistic styles vary significantly from card to card, offering a rich visual experience. This approach allows for a broad spectrum of interpretations of the ecological theme, from scientific and technological perspectives to mythical and spiritual ones.

The project successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2020, raising over $40,000 from 384 backers. The deck is designed to be both a functional tool for tarot readings and a collectible art object, appealing to those who appreciate diverse artistic styles and a strong thematic focus on environmental stewardship.

This deck is ideal for tarot collectors who appreciate collaborative art projects and diverse artistic styles within a single deck. It will resonate with readers interested in environmental themes, nature, and the concept of healing the Earth. The varied artwork also makes it suitable for intuitive readers who enjoy a wide range of visual stimuli, rather than a single consistent art style.

Kayti Welsh, based in Northern Virginia, launched the 78 Tarot Project in January 2014. With a background in fine art, design, and project management, she has used Kickstarter to publish each of the project's annual collaborative decks. Welsh works with a network of artist friends, gathering them from Facebook to create functional and beautiful art. She emphasizes the fun, challenging, and rewarding nature of collaborating with many artists, expressing gratitude to backers for enabling her dream.
