Fantasy World Tarot by Vera Petruk

Tarot reading, as is well known, is a true art that is refined over time. The initial rudiments are easily learned, but to truly master this concentration of symbols It takes a lot of experience and practice.

To enter this magical world, you need to study hard, read extensively, and learn from your mistakes. Above all, it's essential to connect with your instrument: the tarot deck .

Not all of the tarot decks They are the same. The representation, the arrangement and presence of the symbols, the quality of the cards, their style... these are all fundamental elements that must resonate deeply with whoever uses the deck.

Fantasy World Tarot

Below we would like to present you a Tarot deck absolutely unique and magically inspired: the deck Fantasy World Tarot .

We are talking about a real masterpiece created by the artist Vera Petruk and made by Silver Cat Edition . This deck is meticulously crafted to enhance its magic.

To obtain the particularly aged style of the paper and the box, the following steps are performed: strictly by hand , different steps that make each card unique.

The graphic imagery is taken from the fantastic world of the Fantasy genre and each arcane is described with a fantastic figure created by hand drawing by Vera Petruk .

With this deck you will be able to immerse yourself totally and simultaneously in the world of Fantasy and Magic , in an absolutely extraordinary atmosphere.

On each card you will find the number, the card title, the character's name and the corresponding zodiac symbol printed. For example, in the Temperance card , you will find the number XIV, the word “Temperance” and the indication of the character “Sea Nymph”, in addition to the symbolic indication of the sign of Sagittarius.

The drawing made by Petruk depicts a splendid nymph with long hair surrounded by waves of the sea , with a gigantic full moon and benevolent clouds behind them.

It will be immediately apparent to you that this deck was created by true enthusiasts and deep tarot experts and the world of mythology and fairy tales.

Each card has the typical symbolic function of the Tarot , but it is embellished with a design that opens the doors to a particularly rich imagination.

Divination with the Fantasy World Tarot Deck

Divination is an ancient tradition and its essence cannot be changed. In fact, this beautiful deck certainly doesn't overturn the ancient tradition : the Arcana are the same, only the design and aesthetics have changed.

We will therefore find the Magician card which symbolizes the young man, the one who should begin a journey. The representation for the Magician card in the Fantasy World Tarot deck It's that of Warlock, from the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy.

For the paper of the Popess , linked to the sign of Taurus and symbol of clarity and wisdom, is instead represented by a clairvoyant with a crystal ball in her hand.

The Empress is represented by the goddess Kali, while the Emperor takes us back to Ancient Egypt with the figure of the Sphinx. The card of the Dad takes us back to a Voodoo-style Warlock.

In the map of the Lovers Succubus is represented, a female demon who in tradition makes love to men while they dream.

The seventh Tarot card, the Chariot, is represented by a beautiful centaur, while the Arcanum of the Justice It features a drawing of a beautiful Valkyrie.

The Hermit brings us back to the figure of the mysterious Yeti of the snow, while the Wheel of Fortune It graphically takes us back to the ancient and cruel period of torture under the Inquisition.

The card of the Force It is linked to the figure of the Manticore, a mythical figure with a human-like head, a lion's body, and a scorpion's tail.

The Arcanum of the Hanged Man in the artist's imagination he became an Imp, a sort of cross between a devil and a genie, while the Death card brings us back to a classic vision with the Grim Reaper on a boat.

There Temperance , as already mentioned, is represented by a beautiful nymph, while the Devil card was designed with a disturbing demon.

There Tower It has been embellished by the artist with a drawing of what one would expect to find, in the world of fantasy, on a tall building: that is, a Gargoyle.

The Star Arcanum is represented by the beautiful Tooth Fairy, while the card of the Moon It features a terrifying drawing of a ferocious werewolf entering through an open door.

The card of the Sun It features the design of a Phoenix, while the card of The Sentence features the terrifying design of Cerberus, the mythological monster.

The World It is represented with an important and ancient mystical figure: Ouroboros, the winged serpent that eats its own tail and forms an 8.

The twenty-second and final Tarot card, which is here considered as the zero card, is obviously the Fool . Vera Petruk's imagination has chosen a joker/juggler for this key card.

Drawing randomly from the deck of Minor Arcana we can talk about the beautiful angel that makes the 5 of Swords so special, the 4 that brings us back to a vaguely romantic scene of vampirism, or the colorful Pegasus that symbolizes the 8 of the same suit.

Terrible is the dragon that roams in a magical atmosphere in the 10th of Wands , just as a rather diabolical version of Lilith was chosen for the Queen of that suit. The 7 of Wands, on the other hand, brings us back to the Egypt of mummies.

The 5th of Cups It features a beautiful mermaid amidst sea waves reminiscent of the style of the “Great Wave off Kanagawa” by the Japanese painter Hokusai.

The King of Cups is represented by a terrifying ogre wielding an axe, while the 3 of the same suit features a beautiful witch intent on preparing her potion.

The Ace of Pentacles It hosts a plant with a rather grim reputation: the mandrake. The Two of the same suit, on the other hand, represents a young elf caught in the act of shooting an arrow.

The 8 of Pentacles instead offers us a rather ironic image on a zombie bride , complete with an axe stuck in her moving head, in a moonlit cemetery, holding a head.
