The Artist Decoded Tarot: A Deck and Guidebook

Explore the intersection of tarot, artistic creativity, and technical innovation in The Artist Decoded Tarot, a first-of-its-kind deluxe deck and guidebook set from author of Amenti Oracle Jennifer Sodini and artist Yoshino.

Art, myth, and storytelling have guided spiritual exploration throughout history, and the intersection of technology and spirituality unveils captivating connections between ancient wisdom and contemporary innovation. In this singular tarot deck, author Jennifer Sodini and artist Yoshino delve deep into this intersection, revealing to readers that the common artery through which this wisdom flows is the human imagination--that vast inner landscape of infinite creative potential that is always in dialogue with time and space. Through the thoughtfully designed cards and accessibly written guidebook, The Artist Decoded Tarot has been designed to tap into that conversational reservoir and reveal the artist within each of us, while creating a bridge toward higher Worlds, by fusing the symbolic language of the Tarot and the artistic medium of synthography--or generative AI prompting--paired with digital collage.

Tarot practitioners and novices alike will find a new approach to the cards--one that explores the codes of texts from mystical traditions like Kabbalah, alongside individual artistic prompts tailored to the message of each of the Major and Minor Arcana.
This set includes:

• Deluxe tarot package. Includes 78 cards (3 X 5 inches), full-color guidebook (4 3/4 X 6 inches, 192 pages), inner card box, and magnetic closure keepsake outer box.
• Fully illustrated guidebook. The full-color guidebook includes images of each card, alongside card descriptions and tailored prompts, as well as sample card spreads to guide your practice.
• Foreword by Mitch Horowitz. The guidebook includes an illuminating and contextualizing foreword from PEN award-winning author and thinker Mitch Horowitz.

A note on packaging: In order to help honor our planet and reduce waste, we have only shrink wrapped the interior cards, rather than the keepsake box. Please feel confident that your product is not defective or used, but rather represents a step we are taking to protect our collective home. When you open your deck, you will find that the actual cards inside the box are shrink wrapped for protection and to ensure first use by the buyer.

A note on art creation: The tarot card images in this deck were developed in collaboration between artist and technology. They were created in part by generative AI.
