The Wandering Moon Tarot

The Wandering Moon Tarot is a 79-card deck, including the standard 78 tarot cards plus an additional altar card, created by Australian artist Rachael. The deck is characterized by its distinctive black and white, hand-illustrated aesthetic, which aims to foster a more intuitive connection during readings. The campaign emphasizes a focus on the visual and tactile experience, with cards printed on high-quality 350gsm white core art stock.

Each card features a matte UV finish on both sides and is enhanced with laser silver edging, contributing to a refined and cohesive presentation. The deck is housed in a two-part box, also finished with a matte UV coating. A downloadable e-book, described as handwritten and hand-illustrated in a "book of shadows" aesthetic, accompanies the deck, providing guidance and further enhancing the immersive experience.

Launched successfully on Kickstarter in 2021, the deck garnered significant support, raising over $43,000 from 475 backers. The project reflects the creator's passion for art and her desire to offer a unique, aesthetically driven tool for divination, blending traditional tarot structure with a modern, minimalist visual approach.

This deck is ideal for tarot readers who appreciate a minimalist, black and white aesthetic and prefer to engage with imagery intuitively rather than relying on color symbolism. It will appeal to collectors who seek unique, art-driven decks with premium production features like silver edging and high-quality card stock. Readers who enjoy a cohesive, handcrafted feel, from the illustrations to the accompanying e-book, will also find this deck appealing.

Rachael, an artist based by the beach in Australia, has been drawing and painting her entire life, considering it a fundamental part of her identity. She is also a "fur mama" to a cavoodle named Lumi. When not creating art, she enjoys visiting local cafes for an oat milk piccolo. Her passion for art and desire to create an intuitive tarot deck led to the creation of The Wandering Moon Tarot, reflecting her personal aesthetic and connection to her Australian coastal environment.
