Tarot Landscapes Deck & Manual

Every card is a place. Every place is a feeling. Every feeling is a truth.

Tarot Landscapes reimagines the classic 78-card Rider-Waite-Smith tarot through the lens of landscape — the idea that every Arcanum inhabits a world, and that world can be entered. Curated by folklorist and tarot scholar Francesca Matteoni and illustrated by artist Yoshi Mari, each card becomes an invitation to step into a dreamlike terrain that mirrors the inner landscape of the reader.

Mari's illustrations are painterly and deeply atmospheric — moonlit forests, misty shores, ancient ruins half-swallowed by nature, twilight meadows, dark waterways reflecting silver light. The landscapes are not backgrounds for figures; they are the figures. Nature itself becomes the oracle. Each image carries the emotional resonance of the traditional RWS symbolism translated into pure terrain — haunting, beautiful, and immediately evocative.

The comprehensive 128-page manual by Matteoni provides card meanings and reading guidance for both new and experienced readers, with specific instruction on how to read within the Tarot Landscapes framework.
