Once Upon a Time Tarot – Every Card Tells a Story
Illustrated by Ilaria Fossi and written by Carole-Anne Eschenazi, the Once Upon a Time Tarot is a 80-card deck that reimagines the 78-card tarot tradition as a living, breathing fairy tale — one populated by gnomes, forest spirits, enchanted creatures, and storybook figures rendered in a rich, warm watercolour-and-ink style that rewards close looking on every single card.
-
80 cards — 78 standard tarot cards plus 2 special additional cards
-
Card size: 12 × 7 cm — large, beautifully readable format ideal for all spread styles
- Richly detailed fairy-tale illustration style: warm amber, blush, teal and violet palettes; characters drawn with expressive, storybook charm throughout all 78 cards
- Major Arcana highlights: V The Hierophant (hooded elder with papal cross-staff among ruins), VI The Lovers (fairy and dragon dancing in an enchanted garden), VII The Chariot (gnome commander on a snail-drawn mechanical chariot), VIII Strength (flame-haired witch with a sleeping beast), IX The Hermit (bearded elder with lantern surrounded by ravens), X The Wheel (dreaming girl amid golden spinning wheel and flowering vines), XXI The World (dancer in pink tulle amid blue floral swirls)
- Minor Arcana: full illustrated pip and court cards — Cups suit features enchanted goblins and water spirits; Pentacles suit rendered in warm pink mushroom and forest tones; all court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King) fully illustrated
- Pentacles court highlights: 9 of Pentacles (girl with a robin), 10 of Pentacles (gnomes with mushrooms and a bunny), Queen of Pentacles (fairy queen in pink ball gown amid crystals), King of Pentacles (goblin king with a deer)
- Stunning deep navy baroque card backs featuring a gold eight-pointed compass star framed by crimson ribbons, gilt scrollwork, and dancing fairy vignettes in corner medallions — fully reversible
- Presented in a deep navy rigid box with gilt baroque border, compass star, and fairy vignettes; authors’ names in elegant gold lettering on the front panel
From the 3 of Swords — three silver swords piercing a glowing heart held aloft by fairies in a twilight sky — to the Page of Cups as a cheerful, hat-clad adventurer holding a golden chalice by a waterfall, every card in the Once Upon a Time Tarot draws you into a world where myth and meaning intertwine. A deck for dreamers, storytellers, and anyone who believes that magic is real — if you know how to look.
