Moon Crystal Tarot (2nd Edition)

The Moon Crystal Tarot (2nd Edition) is a 78-card tarot deck designed for enthusiasts of Sailor Moon and magical art, while adhering to the foundational symbolism of the A.E. Waite deck. This approach ensures that the deck is both visually engaging for its target audience and functionally compatible with traditional tarot reading methods. The deck aims to bridge the gap between a beloved pop culture phenomenon and the established practice of tarot.

Originally launched in 2019, the campaign successfully raised $12,171 from 145 backers, indicating a strong community interest in this specific thematic fusion. The deck was offered with a comprehensive guide book, and various tiers included collector's boxes, hand-printed journals, scarves, and pouches, emphasizing a holistic, immersive experience for backers. The inclusion of these accessories suggests a focus on creating a complete, themed package for collectors and readers alike.

The creator, Alexandra (ScreenGirl), designed the deck to resonate with individuals who appreciate the magical girl aesthetic, particularly those familiar with Sailor Moon. By basing the card interpretations on the A.E. Waite system, the deck provides a familiar framework for experienced tarot readers, while its unique theme offers a fresh perspective. This combination makes it accessible for those new to tarot who are drawn in by the theme, as well as seasoned readers looking for a deck with a distinct visual and thematic identity.

This deck is ideal for fans of the Sailor Moon anime and manga, as well as collectors of pop culture-themed tarot decks. It appeals to individuals who appreciate magical girl aesthetics and seek a tarot deck that combines familiar RWS symbolism with a unique, nostalgic theme. It is suitable for both beginners drawn to the theme and experienced readers looking for a fresh, visually distinct interpretation of the Waite system.
