Inversion Tarot

Bold. Stark. Unapologetically black and white. The Inversion Tarot is a striking pocket-sized deck that turns tradition inside out — literally.

Rooted in the ancient Marseille tarot tradition and inspired by the mid-century artwork originally created in 1960 by Paul Mathison for the Rolla Nordic Tarot, artist Jody Boginski Barbessi (Pratt Institute, Brooklyn) has inverted and refined the imagery into something altogether contemporary and arresting. The result is 78 black and white cards with crisp woodcut-style linework, inverted tones, and new decorative details that reward close attention — all packaged in a sleek, collectible matte black tin.

This is a deck for the reader who sees the world differently. For the shadow worker. For the lover of esoteric history. For anyone who thinks tarot should have an edge.
