The Temple Tarot - LGBT+ tarot deck (Canceled)

The Temple Tarot was an ambitious project by Andrea Foltran and Marco, designed as a 78-card tarot deck with a specific focus on LGBT+ representation. The creators aimed to infuse the deck with the ideas, comments, and values of the LGBT community, making it a resonant tool for a diverse audience. Although the campaign was ultimately canceled, the intent was to create a deck that offered a voice and reflection for this community within the traditional tarot framework.

The deck was planned to include a standard 78-card set, with a limited 'Golden Limited Edition' also offered. Additional merchandise such as high-quality card mats, prints of tarot cards, and exclusive T-shirts were part of the reward tiers, indicating a comprehensive vision for the product line. The project launched in 2022, reflecting a growing demand for inclusive and representative divination tools in the modern spiritual landscape.

Despite its cancellation, The Temple Tarot highlights a significant trend in the tarot world towards more diverse and inclusive interpretations of classic systems. The creators' passion for the occult and tarot, cultivated over four years and culminating in their own store, underscores a genuine commitment to the craft and community they sought to serve.

This deck was intended for LGBT+ individuals and allies seeking a tarot deck that explicitly reflects their experiences and values. It would have appealed to readers interested in inclusive spiritual tools and those who appreciate decks that move beyond traditional heteronormative or gender-binary representations. The project also targeted collectors interested in unique and socially conscious tarot decks.

Andrea Foltran, along with partner Marco, embarked on a journey into the occult and tarot four years prior to launching The Temple Tarot. Their passion for divination grew steadily, leading them to open their own store a year before the deck's conception. This background in both personal practice and retail informed their decision to create a deck specifically designed to represent and empower the LGBT+ community.
