Fun fact

This deck is a triumph for those seeking a profoundly integrated astrological and mythological approach to Tarot, offering a rich, layered experience that transcends conventional readings. Its greatest strength lies in its coherent thematic fusion and Kay Steventon’s evocative artwork, which truly brings the cosmos to life. However, purists expecting traditional Rider-Waite imagery might find it a significant departure. It carves a distinct and respected niche in the field, bridging esoteric cosmology with deeply personal divination.

📝 Description: Celestial Tarot Deck

Celestial Tarot is both a handbook of the heavens and an oracular guide to the inner life. The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana are represented by the twelve zodiacal constellations and ten planets. Each minor suit represents one of the four astrological elements. The accompanying booklet introduces the greater mysteries with a chart of astrological and elemental correspondences. The descriptions of the cards explore the mythological archetypes represented in the major and minor arcana, brought to life by the exquisite artwork of Kay Steventon."Embedded in the night sky are archetypal images, symbols, and stories that have enchanted the human soul for aeons. Onto this sanctuary of the sky the sky the ancients projected their imagination using the star-patterns to animate their myths and create the skyscape that shapes the imagery of Celestial Tarot. Underpinning the seventy-eight cards of Celestial Tarot are the ancient traditions of astrology, astronomy, and mythology. Celestial Tarot makes a great impact as it not only amplifies and broadens the meaning of the contemporary cards but it also utilizes the oldest forms of divination."-- Brian Clark, Introducing Celestial TarotA more comprehensive guidebook of Celestial Tarot is now available as e-book onAmazonandiTunes!

Occult literature desk

The Celestial Tarot Deck presents a cohesive fusion of zodiacal constellations and traditional arcana, supported by Kay Steventon’s evocative artistry. While the integration of planetary alignments with the four elements creates a rich tapestry for interpretation, it may not suit readers who prefer pure psychological or historical tarot approaches devoid of astrological constraints. Those seeking strictly classical Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism might find the reimagining too divergent. However, for those open to cosmic wisdom, it serves as an excellent, accessible tool for both divination and deep self-reflection through a celestial lens.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Its primary distinction lies in the seamless, direct integration of astrological and mythological symbolism into every card. Unlike decks that merely touch upon these themes, Celestial Tarot fundamentally redefines the Arcana through celestial bodies and zodiacal constellations.

While rich in symbolism, the accompanying booklet provides thorough explanations of the astrological and mythological correspondences for each card, making it accessible. However, those new to Tarot might find the additional layers of astrological information a rewarding, albeit deeper, learning curve.
