The Tarot of the Holy Death

Posted on May 10, 2025 by Attila Kárpáthy — No Comments ↓

Ekaterina Topilskaya created her deck using AI technology.
Therefore, it is an excellent opportunity to discuss the use of AI technology in creating spiritual products such as Tarot decks.
Artists and graphic designers involved in creating Tarot decks are especially vocal against the use of AI technology. They mainly argue that unqualified people are now capable of creating artwork of questionable quality.
I find their argument at least funny, as I always question the qualifications of most artists to create Tarot decks. Read more The Tarot of the Holy Death ›

The Marea Tarot – reimagining Crowley’s Thoth Tarot

Most modern Tarot decks are inspired by the work of Pamela Colman Smith and the guiding ideas of Arthur Edward Waite, manifested in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck.
The second most influential modern Tarot deck is Crowley’s Thoth Tarot.
While the first deck was produced in only five months, targeting commercial success, Crowley’s Thoth Tarot was created during five years of struggles and debates considering both esoteric and artistic matters. Aleister Crowley and the talent and perseverance of Lady Frieda Harris left no stone unturned to create an outstanding deck.
Another significant difference is Read more The Marea Tarot ›

The article is more than a discussion about the uprising AI technology—it also dwells on the secrets of the Magician card. I believe it is worth your time and effort to read it.

Artists and graphic designers involved in creating Tarot decks are especially vocal against using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. They mainly argue that unqualified people are now capable of creating artwork of questionable quality.

The Sidewayz Tarot by Roxi Sim-Hermsen and Jade Storm

Posted on September 21, 2021 by Attila Kárpáthy — No Comments ↓

Each Tarot deck has its own body, soul and spirit. While one may choose to purchase a particular deck instinctively, love at first sight, it takes time and patience to learn a deck and get into its groove.
The body of a deck is represented by its aesthetic content, its particular artwork and design. The “eyecatcher”, as the professionals call it. Once a deck appeals to our taste and standards, an emotional connection is established, and that’s how we get in touch with the soul of the deck.
The third step is the most challenging. Discovering the spirit of a deck requires dedication and conscious effort. It is about learning and understanding how each deck works and how we can make the most out of it. While most modern decks are knowingly or by simple mechanical copying are based on the traditional Golden Dawn system, some choosing the Waite-Smith, others the Crowley-Harris pattern, there are also notable exceptions.
