About This Deck
The Goblin Tarot is a complete 78-card set that immerses the reader in a whimsical yet slightly dark fantasy world populated by goblins and other fantastical beings. Each card is hand-drawn and colored by artist Chris 'Rusty' Spiegel, offering a unique, raw aesthetic that stands apart from more polished digital decks. The deck follows the traditional tarot structure, making it accessible to those familiar with the system while providing a fresh, thematic interpretation.
The deck's imagery reimagines classic tarot archetypes through the lens of a goblin-centric universe. The Major Arcana, as exemplified by the Hanged Man card visible in the image, features detailed illustrations that maintain the core meaning of the card while infusing it with goblin characteristics and a distinctive, slightly unsettling charm. The Minor Arcana, though not fully visible, appears to continue this thematic consistency, with card backs or borders featuring skull and bone motifs that reinforce the deck's gritty fantasy setting.
This deck is designed for readers who appreciate a blend of traditional tarot with a strong, unconventional artistic vision. The hand-drawn nature of the art gives each card a personal, crafted feel, inviting a more intuitive and imaginative reading experience. It's a deck that prioritizes character and atmosphere, making it a distinctive addition to any tarot collection.
