Tarot by Paris connects tarot study and reading practice with deck illustration, card materials, and the craft of creating a deck. We explore tarot as both a symbolic system and a designed physical object: something to interpret, handle, collect, illustrate, print, and share.
Tarot from meaning to material
Our coverage includes card meanings and symbolism, practical spreads, self-reading habits, deck reviews, and collecting. The creative side goes deeper into visual systems, illustration, typography, print preparation, cardstock, finishes, boxes, guidebooks, and presentation.
We approach these subjects with one guiding question: what feeling, symbol, or reading experience should a card create, and how can its artwork and physical form support it? The aim is clear guidance, thoughtful context, and concrete creative choices without turning tarot into a set of rigid rules.
Who we write for
Tarot by Paris is for curious beginners, experienced readers, collectors, artists, illustrators, deck creators, and small publishers. Whether you are interpreting one card or planning an entire deck, our goal is to help you make choices with greater confidence and intention.
Where to begin
If you are developing a reading practice, start with reading tarot for yourself without repeating the same question. To explore symbolism, consider The Fool and the meaning of beginnings and risk. If you are making a deck, learn how to prepare tarot artwork for printing or compare tarot deck packaging options.
Wherever you begin, we invite you to notice both what a card says and how its image, texture, scale, and presentation help it speak.
