The SPIRICAL Tarot: a trauma-informed tarot deck

The SPIRICAL Tarot reimagines the traditional tarot system from a psychological perspective, specifically focusing on trauma and healing. Created by Tracey Fisher, who sought a deck addressing these themes for over 30 years, this deck aims to help users witness, accept, and heal from past experiences. The deck's approach is rooted in personal growth and renewal, offering a tool for introspection and self-compassion.

The deck includes a 168-page guidebook, which is essential for navigating its unique trauma-informed interpretations. The artwork is minimalist and abstract, using simple human forms and symbolic elements to represent complex emotional and psychological states. This design choice encourages intuitive engagement with the cards, allowing readers to project their own experiences onto the imagery and facilitate a deeper, more personal connection to the healing process.

Packaged in a magnetic closure box, The SPIRICAL Tarot is presented as a cohesive system for self-exploration. Beyond the deck and guidebook, a prompted workbook and a year-long tarot workbook are also available, indicating a comprehensive system designed to support ongoing therapeutic work with the cards. This holistic approach positions the deck as more than just a divination tool, but a companion for a sustained journey of healing and self-discovery.

This deck is ideal for individuals engaged in personal healing journeys, particularly those working through trauma or seeking tools for self-compassion and psychological insight. It appeals to experienced tarot readers looking for a deck with a specific therapeutic focus, as well as beginners interested in a more introspective and less traditional approach to tarot. Its minimalist art style and focus on internal states will resonate with those who prefer abstract symbolism over literal or narrative imagery.

Tracey Fisher created The SPIRICAL Tarot after spending over 30 years using tarot for personal growth and renewal. Her motivation stemmed from a long-standing search for a tarot deck that specifically addressed themes of trauma and healing, a need she ultimately decided to fulfill by designing her own deck.
