Theme: Dark circus and bizarre entertainers

Medium: digital

The Rubrum Circus Tarot is a Major Arcana-only deck inspired by the dark aesthetic of black circuses and their unusual performers. It features a unique art style blending gothic themes with circus imagery.

About This Deck

The Rubrum Circus Tarot is a 22-card Major Arcana deck that delves into the macabre and whimsical world of a 'black circus.' Created by RubrumCreations, a group of Italian artists, this deck reimagines traditional tarot archetypes through the lens of bizarre entertainers and gothic aesthetics. The campaign emphasizes the deck's inspiration from dark circuses, promising a unique visual and thematic experience for readers.

The deck's imagery is designed to evoke a sense of theatricality and mystery, with each card presenting a distinct character or scene from this conceptual circus. The focus on the Major Arcana suggests a deck intended for deeper, more archetypal readings, rather than daily guidance. The creators, identifying as a group of artists, friends, and 'nerds,' aimed to produce projects that resonated with their own interests and bring these unique visions to a wider audience.

While the campaign details are brief, the core concept of a dark circus tarot is clearly established. The deck is positioned as a creative endeavor born from a shared passion for unique aesthetics and storytelling, offering a fresh interpretation of the tarot's most powerful cards. The successful funding indicates an audience receptive to its distinct blend of gothic and circus themes.
