Revitalizing the Tarot: The Necessity of Modern Illustrations

In a world where ancient traditions intersect with contemporary sensibilities, Tarot cards stand as a timeless symbol of mysticism and introspection. However, as we navigate the complexities of the modern era, it becomes increasingly evident that the traditional illustrations adorning Tarot decks may not fully resonate with today's diverse and evolving audience. It's time to acknowledge the necessity of modern illustrations in Tarot decks, not as a departure from tradition, but as a way to keep up with the evolution of the human psyche and it’s symbolism. Cultural Relevance: Traditional Tarot decks often feature imagery steeped in European symbolism and mythology, reflecting the historical context in which they emerged. While this heritage is undeniably valuable, it's important to recognize that Tarot has transcended geographical boundaries and is now embraced by people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Modern illustrations have the power to incorporate symbols and narratives that resonate with a broader spectrum of individuals, encouraging acceptance and cultural appreciation within the divination community. Accessibility: For many newcomers to Tarot, the archaic imagery of traditional decks can feel intimidating or difficult to interpret. By employing modern illustrations, Tarot becomes more approachable to those who may be unfamiliar with its esoteric symbolism. Contemporary artwork can convey universal themes and emotions in a visually engaging manner, allowing users to connect with the cards on a personal level and access their intuitive insights more readily. Innovation: The beauty of Tarot lies in its capacity for interpretation and personal reflection. Modern illustrations provide Tarot artists with the opportunity to infuse their decks with unique perspectives, styles, and narratives. Whether it's reinventing classic archetypes or exploring entirely new themes, contemporary artists can breathe fresh life into the Tarot tradition while honoring its enduring wisdom. Furthermore, modern techniques such as digital art and mixed media offer limitless possibilities for innovation, pushing the boundaries of Tarot imagery beyond what was previously imaginable. Representation and Diversity: Inclusion has become paramount in any modern spiritual practice or artistic endeavor. Traditional Tarot decks often lack representation of diverse identities, reinforcing narrow standards of beauty and existence. Modern illustrations present an opportunity to celebrate the richness of human experience by featuring characters of various genders, ethnicities, body types, and abilities. By embracing diversity in Tarot imagery, we acknowledge the interconnection of all beings and honor the inherent value of every individual's journey. Adaptation to Contemporary Themes: The challenges and concerns of the modern world are vastly different from those of centuries past. Tarot, as a tool for introspection and guidance, must evolve to address the issues facing society today. Modern illustrations can reflect contemporary themes such as environmental sustainability, social justice, mental health, and technological advancement, empowering users to explore these topics within the framework of Tarot symbolism. By integrating current events and societal shifts into Tarot decks, we ensure their relevance and resonance for generations to come.

From my personal perspective, as an artist and pagan who has used the Tarot for over 40 years, it is time to pursue the dream of creating my own deck. The challenge is to interpret where changes are needed. One thing I had to consider right away is the suits of the Minor Arcana. For example the word “Cups” use to have a much more emotionally charged meaning, but now the word evokes thoughts of plastic, styrofoam or paper that is meant to be disposable. One of the first decisions I made was to replace “Cups” with “Chalice” because that word now has a more elevated connotation that better represents the required symbolism.

As my work proceeds I have to decide which cards need the most changes and create art to modernize it’s symbology.

I have opted to convert the card art to vector in it's final stages. One of the benefits of this is the ability to sell these designs on print on demand products. This not only generates income as the project proceeds but gives me the ability to gauge interest in certain decisions that have been made.

i'm reading this cat curioos and jaune i liked it but i imagined a scenario where the cat manages to control his sunshine's body in this way

we are set when ruby is about to take the tea but it's not because of neo it's because of the cat ( he realized that one way to break jaune is through his friends) and he tells ruby that he has been wearing jaune's will down all these years to have him all to himself but when they arrived they changed his plans, admitting that when he recognized them as part of the remnant he became jealous and worried that they would take his shunshie away from him and he tried to avoid it but he took advantage of ruby's condition to break jaune faster and added that the town was a problem for him.

after all that he said the curious cat forces ruby to drink the tea just when WBY and jaune arrives the latter when he sees the tea and ruby thinks the worst and starts screaming in desperation for the death of ruby where the curious cat takes his chance and knocks down WBY and knocks down jaune he approaches jaune who is in shock for the death of ruby and told him that thanks to them he can be together for eternity both in this world and in the remnant.
