About This Deck
The Popgoth Tarot, created by artist Anthony (known online as popgoth), is a unique deck that fuses elements of contemporary pop culture with traditional gothic aesthetics. The creator, a practicing witch and tarot reader for over a decade, designed this deck as a creative tool for other intuitive practitioners. The artwork is characterized by digital collages and 3D renderings, resulting in a distinct visual style that is both modern and deeply symbolic.
The deck's imagery is rich with saturated colors, often set against cosmic or abstract backgrounds, creating a dreamlike or otherworldly atmosphere. While the campaign blurb refers to it as an "oracle," the image clearly shows cards labeled with traditional tarot suit names like "Wands," "Cups," "Swords," and "Pentacles," as well as Major Arcana cards such as "The Star" and "0" (The Fool). This suggests it follows a tarot structure, despite the initial "oracle" designation in the campaign story.
Anthony's background in digital art, particularly collages and 3D renderings, is evident in the deck's aesthetic. The combination of diverse visual elements aims to provide a fresh perspective on tarot symbolism, making it appealing to those who appreciate a non-traditional approach. The deck was conceived as a creative outlet for the artist and a tool for others who resonate with its blend of pop and goth sensibilities.
