Tarot Decks: 78 Tarot Astral

After the success that was the 78 Tarot, the creators decided to produce more decks that were similar, but also entirely different. The 78 Tarot series has several decks now, one of them is the 78 Tarot Astral deck. The 78 Tarot Astral is once again created by 78 different artists, including Larry Elmore, Ravynne Phelan, and Jasmine Beckett-Griffith.

The deck has a space or astral theme, with card having a unique and colorful appearance. The 78 Tarot Astral was self published by Trish Sullivan in 2017. These days, it's not easy to get. It's out or print, and it was rare even when it was in print. If you have one of these beautiful decks, cherish it. It's a great addition to any Tarot collection.

Tarot Decks: 78 Tarot

The 78 Tarot is an interesting deck because it is a global art collaboration from 78 different artists. Each card is illustrated by a different artist, among them fantasy artists Larry Elmore and Jasmine Beckett-Griffith. Each card is unique and inspiring. The artwork comes from many genres, not just fantasy. Some cards are created digitally, others are drawn and colored more traditionally. All are lovely and make the perfect deck.

Based on the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition, 78 Tarot was first published in 2014 and is accompanied by an 84-page booklet that not only includes the traditional meaning of the cards but also information about the artists and the cards' creation.

Further information about this deck and its availability can be found at the 78 Tarot Etsy Shop.
