the 5-Cent tarot

The 5-cent Tarot is a fun and whimsical deck


loosely inspired by Victorian era poster art.
Using vintage images and remnants of biological
and botanical ephemera, this deck incorporates
keywords in the upright and reverse positions.

There are no people in this deck, but flora,


animals and insects with sometimes human
accessories and unexpected elements. This deck is
full of small surprises and fun bits of whimsy —
the idea is to engage the reader with images that
are interesting, yet clear and to the point.

Quirky and fun: in this deck, pentacles are


buttons, wands are matchsticks, swords are
needles and cups are vintage teacups.

The keywords in upright and reverse positions


are scaled to a size that will be helpful for new
readers, but also not a distraction for experienced
readers. The compositions also employ the
symbolism from traditional tarot and are
therefore, RWS-adjacent.
