Settle in for the story of how I found my first Tarot Deck… or perhaps more accurately how my first deck found me.

My first deck was the Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington. It is formatted like a traditional Rider-Waite Smith deck but has a bit of a goth, Pacific Northwest vibe to it.

The artist actually has a lovely website where they go through their general idea for the deck, the themes, and a description of each card they created and who they imagined in each image.

Today I pulled The Star Reversed from The Sasuraibito Tarot deck, you can check out the image here.
