About This Deck
The Tarot of Surrealism is a 78-card deck that aims to blend traditional tarot structure with the dreamlike and often bizarre imagery characteristic of surrealist art. The deck includes 22 Major Arcana cards, explicitly titled "Major Arcana of Surrealism," suggesting a focus on reinterpreting these foundational cards through a surrealist lens. The remaining 56 cards are designated for "Divination," indicating a complete Minor Arcana designed to function within standard tarot reading practices.
The visual style, as observed in the available imagery, is highly imaginative and uses vibrant, saturated colors. The artwork appears to be digitally rendered, creating smooth transitions and a polished finish. The choice of surrealism as a theme allows for a rich tapestry of symbolic and non-linear imagery, inviting intuitive interpretation rather than strict adherence to traditional RWS scenes. This approach can offer fresh perspectives for experienced readers while potentially challenging beginners.
The deck's title and blurb emphasize the Major Arcana, suggesting these cards are the core artistic and conceptual focus. While the Minor Arcana are mentioned, the primary artistic statement seems to reside in the 22 Major cards. This focus on the Major Arcana is a common approach in art-focused tarot decks, where artists often dedicate significant creative energy to these archetypal images.
