Modern Mystics Tarot (Canceled)

The Modern Mystics Tarot was conceived as a 78-card deck that translates classic tarot symbolism into a contemporary setting, featuring modern-day witches, psychics, and tarot readers as its archetypal figures. The deck aimed to provide a fresh, relatable take on the Major and Minor Arcana, making the ancient wisdom of tarot accessible through modern imagery and themes.

Designed by Josh Lindsay, the deck was planned to be a full 78-card set, with card dimensions of 70mm x 120mm and a thickness of 350gsm, finished with a gloss coating and housed in a tuck box. The campaign also offered a unique reward tier where backers could be artistically rendered into a tarot card within the deck, emphasizing a personalized and community-driven approach to its creation.

Although the Kickstarter campaign was canceled, the concept behind the Modern Mystics Tarot highlights an interest in bridging traditional spiritual practices with contemporary life. The deck was intended to resonate with individuals who identify with modern mystic culture, offering a tool for self-reflection and guidance that feels current and inclusive.

This deck would appeal to modern spiritual practitioners, especially those interested in witchcraft, psychic arts, and tarot reading who seek a deck that reflects their contemporary identity. It is suitable for readers who appreciate a fresh, relatable take on traditional tarot archetypes and enjoy decks with a strong thematic focus on modern mysticism. The personalized card option would have also attracted collectors interested in unique, collaborative projects.
