Candy Tarot

The Candy Tarot is an 80-card deck, including two blank cards, designed in the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. Created by illustrator MIZ in collaboration with tarot reader Jade, the deck aims to offer a "warmest" and healing tarot experience, making the practice more approachable for everyone. Launched successfully on Kickstarter in 2021, it garnered support from 126 backers.

The deck's imagery reinterprets classic RWS symbolism with a soft, inviting art style. The collaboration between an illustrator and a tarot reader suggests a balance between aesthetic appeal and practical, easy-to-understand card meanings. This approach is intended to guide users through life's confusions with the gentle power of tarot, reflecting the creator's personal journey with the practice.

Available in different tiers during its campaign, including a "Tarot Mini" with a card case and a "Tarot Gift Box" that also included an analysis booklet, the deck emphasizes accessibility. The inclusion of an analysis booklet indicates a desire to support readers in understanding the card meanings, aligning with the goal of making tarot approachable.

This deck is ideal for tarot beginners seeking a gentle and unintimidating introduction to the Rider-Waite-Smith system. Its warm, approachable art style also appeals to readers who prefer a softer aesthetic over traditional or darker imagery. Collectors of cute or whimsical decks, as well as those interested in decks designed for healing and personal growth, will find the Candy Tarot a suitable choice.

MIZ, an illustrator, felt a strong urge to pursue a dream at the beginning of 2020, a period marked by global uncertainty. She found guidance and healing through tarot, thanks to a tarot reader named Jade. Inspired by this personal experience, MIZ decided to combine her illustration skills with Jade's insights into card meanings to create the Candy Tarot. Their goal was to make the healing power of tarot more accessible and share those positive moments with a wider audience.
