Details:
Step into a world where art and divination collide, where the past and the present dance together in harmony. The Baroque Tarot is not just a deck; it's an immersive journey that transports you to the opulent Baroque era. Get ready to explore a tapestry of art and symbolism like never before.

Our artistic journey was kindled by a profound appreciation for the Botticelli Tarot, which was the first tarot deck with which we actually felt a profound connection. It left an indelible mark on our hearts. The allure of blending artistry with divination led us to embark on a mission to create a tarot deck that could capture the essence of classic Baroque artistry.

Drawing inspiration from renowned artists like Caravaggio, Nicolas Poussin, Peter Paul Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Diego Velázquez, Rembrandt van Rijn, and more, we set out to craft a masterpiece that pays homage to their timeless contributions to the world of art.

Our journey aims at accomplishing two significant aspirations:

- Giving life to a lifelong dream by creating a unique addition to the rich tapestry of tarot decks.
- Starting to secure the means to finance our medical studies in Germany. As two individuals on a mission in the world of medicine, this project is our bridge to the future, and your support is its cornerstone..

Imagine a year of meticulous research and artistry, where every card is a testament to creativity.

Our design process for each card starts with a pen and paper then moves to the digital canvas, where the true magic unfolds. Leveraging an array of tools, including Procreate, Illustrator, Photoshop, and AI tools, we breathe life into each card, transforming them into exquisite works of art that marry the elegance of the Baroque with the profound symbolism of tarot.

Simply put, every card is a story, every stroke a labor of love.

Here's what makes the Deluxe Edition a must-have:

- Superior Cardstock: We're leveling up to a 330 GSM German blackcore paper with a linen finish, promising unmatched quality and durability. This is not a stretch goal this time; this is our basic offering.

- A New Spin on the Wheel of Fortune: We've reimagined this card, transforming it from the least favored to potentially your new favorite.
