Our Mission
Where 78 Souls Become One Deck
What do you get when you combine 78 artists with a love of tarot? A deck filled with the magic, energy, and stories of 78 different souls. 78 Tarot is a global art collaboration that creates a new deck of tarot cards with 78 different artists — one per card, every time.
Each deck is funded through Kickstarter, limited in print run, and never reprinted. When they are gone, they are gone — which is why each one is genuinely collectible.
The Collection
Our Decks
Each deck is a limited edition collaboration. Once sold out, it is not reprinted.
78 Tarot — First Edition
Out of PrintWhere it all began.
The original 78 Tarot deck brought together 78 international artists from across the globe, each interpreting a tarot card through their own unique vision without a constraining theme. The result was a breathtaking mosaic of styles, traditions, and imaginations — a true celebration of the diversity of human creative expression. Funded on Kickstarter in July 2014 and now a collector's item, this deck sold out and will never be reprinted.

78 Tarot Nautical
AvailableBeneath the waves, ancient wisdom stirs.
The second 78 Tarot collaboration plunged deep into the world of mermaids, pirates, sea creatures, and the vast, mysterious ocean. Each card was reimagined through a nautical lens, with 78 artists creating an immersive underwater world that manages to be both whimsical and profound. Available as a signed and numbered Collector's Edition, Nautical remains one of the most visually striking decks in the 78 Tarot family.

78 Tarot Carnival
Out of PrintStep right up. The cards know all.
The third deck transported the tarot into the dazzling, uncanny world of carnival and circus — fire-breathers, acrobats, sideshow wonders, and the strange beauty of those who live at the edge of convention. 78 artists interpreted their assigned cards through the lens of carnival life, creating a deck that captures the joy, danger, and deep humanity of the big top. Now out of print.

78 Tarot Astral
Out of PrintWritten in the stars.
What happens when you send 78 artists to the far reaches of the cosmos? You get the Astral deck — a stunning voyage through space, alien worlds, robots, cosmic phenomena, and the infinite mystery of the universe. The Astral deck reimagines every tarot archetype as a celestial entity, and the result is one of the most visually unified and breathtaking decks in the series. Now out of print.

78 Tarot Mythical
Out of PrintGods, goddesses, and the stories that made us.
The Mythical deck drew from the vast well of global mythology — gods, goddesses, fairies, elves, legendary creatures, and the heroes of every human culture. 78 artists brought their own mythological traditions and imaginations to their cards, creating a deck that functions as both a beautiful tarot tool and a gateway into the world's great mythic traditions. Now out of print.

78 Tarot Elemental
Out of PrintThe elements speak.
The most popular deck in the 78 Tarot catalog brought elemental magic to the forefront — each card steeped in the primal energy of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, or Spirit. The Elemental deck sold out within a year of release, testament to how deeply it resonated with the tarot community. The elemental theme gave the deck an extraordinary visual and spiritual coherence that makes it one of the most powerful reading tools the collaboration has produced. Now out of print.

78 Tarot Ecological
AvailableThe earth speaks through the cards.
78 Tarot's most politically engaged deck uses the language of tarot to tell the story of our planet — climate change, conservation, biodiversity, animal rights, and the urgent call to protect what remains. 78 artists brought passion and ecological expertise to their cards, creating a deck that is both a beautiful artistic collaboration and a call to action. A portion of proceeds supports environmental causes.

78 Tarot Animal
AvailableEvery creature holds a lesson.
The Animal deck celebrates the wisdom, beauty, and spirit of the animal kingdom — from the microscopic to the magnificent, from familiar companions to rare and endangered species. 78 artists depicted their cards through the lens of the animal world, creating a deck that is accessible, joyful, and deeply connected to the natural world. Funded on Kickstarter in the summer of 2022.

78 Tarot Halloween
Coming SoonThe veil is thinnest here.
The latest chapter in the 78 Tarot story dives into the gorgeous darkness of Halloween — skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, witches, and all the eerie magic of the season when the veil between worlds thins. Successfully funded in November 2024 through an enthusiastic Kickstarter campaign, this deck brings the 78 Tarot tradition of artistic excellence to the most card-friendly holiday of the year.

The Process
How 78 Tarot Works
01
A Theme Is Chosen
We begin each new deck by selecting a theme — Nautical, Carnival, Astral, Elemental, and more — that will inspire 78 individual artists.
02
78 Artists Are Selected
A global call for artists goes out. We review hundreds of submissions and select 78 artists whose styles, backgrounds, and visions will create a complete, diverse deck.
03
One Deck, 78 Souls
Each artist receives one card assignment. Working independently but within the shared theme, they pour their unique vision into their single card. The result is something no single artist could create alone.
