Asphodelon Tarot - Opened

Opened for the purpose of review Journey Through the Myths of Ancient Greece An extraordinary indie tarot deck where every card breathes new life into the timeless legends of gods, heroes, monsters, and the Queen of the Underworld. Some stories refuse to be forgotten. They echo across centuries, carried in poetry, temples, stars... and now, within the cards of the Asphodelon Tarot. Created by independent artist Ivy of Asphodelon Studio, this stunning tarot deck reimagines the Rider-Waite-Smith system through the rich tapestry of Greek mythology. Every illustration has been lovingly hand-painted over more than seven years, transforming ancient legends into a deeply immersive reading experience that feels both timeless and wonderfully fresh. Whether you're captivated by mythology, fascinated by Hellenic spirituality, or simply searching for an exceptional indie tarot, the Asphodelon Tarot offers a journey unlike any other. 🏛️ Every Card Tells a Myth Greek mythology has inspired artists for thousands of years. The Asphodelon Tarot continues that tradition, weaving together gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and legendary tales into a cohesive tarot system that honours both mythology and traditional tarot symbolism. At its heart is Persephone, whose journey from maiden to Queen of the Underworld quietly unfolds throughout the deck, reflecting one of mythology's most powerful stories of transformation, resilience, and personal sovereignty. Alongside her, readers will encounter Zeus, Hades, Artemis, Apollo, Medusa, Odysseus, and many other familiar figures, each carefully chosen to deepen the meaning of the cards they represent. Rather than replacing tarot symbolism, Greek mythology enriches it. The result feels both instantly recognisable and wonderfully original.
