The Altered Tarot Deck & Guidebook

The Altered Tarot Deck is a photographic tarot deck that reinterprets traditional tarot archetypes through striking black and white nature photography, occasionally accented with subtle, desaturated color. The deck aims to offer a fresh, intuitive perspective on the tarot system, inviting readers to connect with the natural world and its inherent symbolism.

Each card features a unique photographic composition, carefully chosen to evoke the essence of its corresponding tarot meaning. The use of black and white photography lends a timeless and contemplative quality to the imagery, while the occasional hint of color, as seen in the purple lavender field of Temperance, adds a layer of depth and visual interest. The deck is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and functionally insightful for readings.

Accompanied by a guidebook, The Altered Tarot is intended to provide guidance and interpretation for each card, making it accessible to a range of readers. The collaboration between writer r. tanksley and photographer k. hiatt suggests a thoughtful integration of visual and textual elements to create a cohesive and meaningful divination tool.

This deck is suitable for tarot readers who appreciate minimalist aesthetics, nature photography, and a more introspective approach to divination. It will appeal to those who prefer black and white imagery with subtle color accents over vibrant, traditional illustrations. Experienced readers seeking a visually unique deck for intuitive readings will find it engaging, as will beginners interested in connecting tarot with natural symbolism.
