Art Deco Tarot

The Art Deco cards first published by Piatnik in 1936, 52 cards by Piatnik 1946 with poster like images
Art Deco Fortune Telling Cards.

Step into the timeless elegance of the 1930s with this exquisite 52-card deck, where Art Deco flourishes meet the deeper symbolism of life’s turning points. Each card is graced with a richly illustrated scene—like snapshots from another era—paired with descriptor words in five languages, including English.
Originally published by Piatnik in 1936, these cards expand upon the traditional Viennese Biedermeier and "Gypsy" cartomancy systems, introducing new characters and themes that reflect the shifting tides of the 20th century. Classic archetypes such as the House, the Judge, the Sweetheart, and Merriment are joined by modern reflections—Treason, Pride, and the Foreign Woman—capturing the complexities of a rapidly changing world.
Measuring 58 x 89 mm, the set includes 52 symbolic cards plus 3 additional ones (two with explanatory German text). With its poster-like aesthetic and enduring insight, the Art Deco deck is not only a tool for divination, but also a window into the spirit of an age where fate met fashion, and destiny wore pearls.

This is not just a deck—it’s a whisper from 1936, wrapped in art, truth, and time. Not meant for collectors, but for rememberers. If you’ve come this far, perhaps you’ve heard it call.

ART DECO TAROT READING
Understanding Desire with Art Deco Tarot Card.



The imagery of the Desire card is rich with symbolism. Traditionally depicted with a cluster of stars called bhena (arya) in Sanskrit, a portrayal of the physical appearance of the creator. shining brightly in the night sky called the arc of the covenant, the appearance of light, and our connection to it. It serves as a window into the subconscious, reflecting our deepest aspirations and desires. The term 'daza,' which signifies 'ten,' is not just a numerical value but also carries connotations of life, regeneration, prosperity, and eternal life. This association is further enriched by the term 'dazanabIja,' which translates to 'pomegranate,' a fruit that has been historically symbolic of abundance, a desire of knowing.

The presence of the Desire with card in a spread can be interpreted as a sign that the querent is in tune with their inner muse, the creative force that drives them to pursue their passions and goals. It is a reminder that inspiration can be found in the world around us and that by allowing our spirits to soar, we can achieve a sense of harmony and order. When the Desire card appears in a reading, it is often interpreted as a sign of hope and optimism. It suggests that the querent is in a phase of life where dreams can manifest into reality, where aspirations take flight towards fulfillment. It is a card that speaks to the soul's yearning for growth and the pursuit of one's true purpose.

The geometric representation of the number 10 as a triangle adds another layer to its symbolism. The triangle, with its three sides and points, is often associated with concepts such as harmony, divinity, and the gateway to higher wisdom. In Sanskrit, the letter 'D' is connected to the number 10, which is further linked to the gate, the mythical Phoenix, and the cyclical nature of life and rebirth. It also embodies the principles of union and cooperation, adjustment, and responsibility. It is believed to facilitate the emergence of the subconscious, allowing individuals to confront and release their fears, thereby finding balance and stability in their lives. Read more >>
