LA MÁS TAROT

LA MÁS TAROT is a full 78-card tarot deck that draws its inspiration from "La Más Draga," a popular Mexican drag reality competition. Created by graphic designer Juanjo Cristiani, known as @enjoy.mycake and also the artist behind "Fortune Queens: A Drag Race Tarot," this deck infuses traditional tarot archetypes with the vibrant energy and iconic imagery of drag culture. Each card reimagines classic tarot scenes through the lens of drag, offering a fresh, contemporary, and culturally specific interpretation.

The deck includes all 78 standard tarot cards, accompanied by a manual of meanings and housed in a rigid box. The artwork is characterized by bold lines, bright colors, and dynamic compositions that capture the theatricality and expressive nature of drag. This approach makes the deck not only a functional tool for divination but also a celebration of queer artistry and Mexican pop culture. It aims to provide an intuitive and engaging reading experience for both seasoned tarot practitioners and newcomers, particularly those who resonate with the themes of self-expression, transformation, and performance.

LA MÁS TAROT successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2022, raising $10,997 from 214 backers. The campaign offered various tiers, including options for multiple decks and bundles with Cristiani's previous "Fortune Queens" decks, demonstrating a strong community interest in drag-themed tarot. The inclusion of a special edition embroidered denim jacket featuring "El Mundo" (The World) card with Rebel Mork further highlights the deck's unique blend of art, fashion, and tarot.

This deck is ideal for tarot enthusiasts who appreciate contemporary, pop-culture-inspired themes and a vibrant aesthetic. It particularly appeals to fans of drag culture, especially those familiar with "La Más Draga" or "RuPaul's Drag Race." Readers seeking a queer-inclusive and expressive deck will find LA MÁS TAROT engaging. It is suitable for both beginners, due to its adherence to traditional RWS archetypes, and experienced readers looking for a fresh, visually stimulating interpretation.
