About This Deck
Granny's Postcards Tarot is a unique 78-card deck that reinterprets the classic tarot system through the charming lens of vintage postcard art. Created by Mykola Taradaiko, the deck uses collaged elements from authentic historical postcards, giving each card a distinct, aged aesthetic. The concept aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth, reminiscent of cherished memories and simpler times, while still providing a functional tool for divination.
The visual style blends various eras of postcard art, resulting in a cohesive yet diverse collection of images. The scenes often feature children, animals, and idyllic landscapes, which are then carefully chosen or adapted to align with the symbolic meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana. This approach allows for a fresh, gentle take on tarot, making it accessible to those who might find more traditional or intense imagery less appealing.
While the deck's exact system is not specified, the card titles visible in the image — "Three of Wands," "The Moon," and "Six of Swords" — indicate a standard tarot structure. The use of vintage imagery provides a unique texture to the reading experience, inviting intuitive interpretation through its familiar yet recontextualized scenes. The deck successfully funded on Kickstarter, appealing to collectors and readers who appreciate its distinctive aesthetic and nostalgic charm.
