Mindscapes Tarot by John A. Rice [Pre-order | Group Buy]

A vivid reimagining of tarot—hand-drawn in oil pastel like classical landscape painting—each card a window to forests, seas, mountains, cities… and to the self.

Background / Overview

Windows In, Windows Out

Drawing on psychology, mythology, and color theory, these oil pastel landscapes open into magical worlds while reflecting your inner weather. Originally conceived as a majors-only deck and Kickstarted in 2022, Mindscapes Tarot has since grown into a full 80-card journey of self-discovery—art that feels healing, inspiring, and alive with childlike wonder and natural beauty. You’re not just reading symbols; you’re stepping through them.

What’s inside (highlights)

• 80 cards: the classic 78 plus 2 bonus cards for added nuance.

• Renamed suits tuned to the terrain: Branches (Wands), Tides (Cups), Spires (Swords), Stones (Pentacles).

• Seasonal storytelling in the Minors: each Ace–Ten revisits the same place across years, in plenty and in lack—growth, decay, return.

• Guidebook (~208 pages) with keywords and narrative cues for immersive, intuitive reads.

• Lush oil-pastel artwork—tactile color, mythic atmospheres, and approachable symbolism.

Who this serves

• Readers who prefer image-led, intuitive conversation with their cards.

• Beginners who want clear signals; pros who want layered narrative depth.

• Journaling, pathfinding, and client work where setting and mood matter.

Tone & Readability

• Symbol-dense yet uncluttered—landscape, horizon, and color temperature do the talking.

• Reads well in story spreads and decision spreads; easy to translate into language for clients.

Curator’s Note

This deck feels like stepping into a beautiful fever dream—in the best way. It pulls you just past waking logic into that liminal zone where deep conversations with your cards happen. That’s why it speaks so honestly, even on hard questions.
