This Might Hurt Tarot by Isabella Rotman
This tarot deck presents a fresh, diverse spin on an old artform. “Keeping time-honored symbolism and imagery, but losing the medieval context, the This Might Hurt Tarot Deck is designed to be both easy to read and highly relatable. Clothing and scenery are modernized, diversity is embraced, and queerness is lovingly acknowledged.
The deck, like most tarot decks, consists of 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards… All of the court cards, and a few other select Minor Arcana cards, are portraits of real people in my life. It has been an absolute joy to create this deck in the image of our world, and I hope it is a joy for you to read with it as well.” - Isabella Rotman
5” x 3” x 2”
