Modern Mystics Tarot (Canceled)

The Modern Mystics Tarot is a 78-card deck that presents a contemporary take on the classic tarot system. Instead of traditional figures, the Major and Minor Arcana are depicted through modern-day mystics, including witches, psychics, and tarot readers. This approach grounds the ancient wisdom of tarot in a relatable, present-day context, making the archetypes feel more accessible and relevant to modern spiritual practitioners.

The deck was designed to be a complete 78-card set, adhering to standard tarot structure. The creator, Josh Lindsay, intended for the cards to be printed on 350gsm card stock with a gloss finish, measuring 70mm x 120mm, which is a standard tarot card size. The deck was planned to be housed in a tuck box, offering a straightforward and functional presentation for daily use or display.

While the campaign for the Modern Mystics Tarot was canceled, the concept aimed to bridge the gap between traditional symbolism and contemporary spirituality. The focus on modern mystics suggests a deck that would appeal to those already engaged in spiritual practices, offering a mirror to their own experiences and community within the tarot framework. The deck was also intended to be available as a PDF print-and-play version, allowing backers to create their own copies.

This deck would appeal to modern spiritual practitioners, especially those interested in witchcraft, psychic abilities, or tarot reading, who seek a deck that reflects their own community and experiences. It is suitable for readers who appreciate contemporary art styles and desire a fresh, relatable interpretation of traditional tarot archetypes. Experienced readers looking for a unique, modern perspective on the Major and Minor Arcana would find this deck engaging.
