Tempest Tarot

U. S. Games Systems, Inc., 2025. Tarot Deck. New. Item #00087116
ISBN: 1646712455

This deck translates the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition into nautical themes so that ocean scenes and sea lore become an allegory for possibilities in life: The Magician is a treasure map, The Tower is a kraken throttling a ship, and Judgment involves a plank walk on a pirate ship. Pages are mermaids, Knights are sailors; male figures are associated with the shore or ship, and female figures are associated with the sea itself. Pen and ink drawings are minimally colored with a subdued palate of blues, grays, and browns. 78-card deck with 72-page guidebook.
