About This Deck
The Star of Inanna Tarot is a Majors-Only deck, focusing exclusively on the 22 Major Arcana cards, each reinterpreted through the lens of Sumerian mythology and the goddess Inanna. Created by artist John Lago, the deck draws inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian narratives, offering a unique cultural and historical perspective on the archetypal journey of the Major Arcana.
This deck is designed for readers who appreciate a deep dive into specific mythological systems and enjoy working with the core archetypes of tarot. By limiting the deck to only the Major Arcana, it encourages focused introspection on life's larger themes and spiritual lessons, rather than daily practicalities. The campaign highlights its printing by WJPC, a common manufacturer for indie decks, suggesting a standard quality production.
The Star of Inanna Tarot successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2024, raising $10,562 from 355 backers. This indicates a strong community interest in decks that blend specific cultural mythologies with the tarot framework. The deck serves as both a functional reading tool for those seeking profound insights and a collectible art object for enthusiasts of ancient history and unique tarot interpretations.
