A vibrant collage deck, rich in dreamlike imagery and full of mystical symbolism, created by Lalania Simone, founder of Alchemy Ritual Goods.
“Using the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition as its foundation, the Tarot of the Cosmic Seed is a vibrant collage deck, rich in dreamlike imagery, cultural diversity, and mystical symbolism. In this deck, the Fool card is renamed ‘Wanderer,’ and the Empress and Emperor are the ‘Sacred Feminine’ and ‘Sacred Masculine.’” —Little Red Tarot
The Tarot of the Cosmic Seed is a luxe deck, full of uniquely portrayed imagery and symbolism with a diverse array of people and cultures. The saturated colors and layers of texture make each card its own experience. Created with digital art and collage, this deck uses the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition as a foundation—with a twist. There is a twenty-third card added to the Major Arcana—The Cosmic Seed.
In an effort to decolonize the tarot, remove outdated ideas of hierarchy, and shift ingrained gender norms, Lalania has renamed all of the royalty cards, including the Hierophant, Emperor, Empress, and the court cards. The court cards in the Minor Arcana are often hard to interpret, and renaming them expands their interpretation into more of an energy signature rather than just personality types: Messenger (for Page), Action (for Knight), Nurturer (for Queen), and Mastery (for King).
Tarot of the Cosmic Seed has been met with glowing reviews:
“Oh. My. Goddess. This deck is EVERYTHING. This is such a phenomenal work of art. Let’s be honest; most tarot decks feature all white people. Not this one. This one most accurately resembles the world we live in and I am here for it! Each card is lush and rich with detail, consideration, quality, color, everything. The creator of this deck clearly put their heart and soul into it. Absofreakinglutely STUNNING!” —very satisfied customer
“Tarot of the Cosmic Seed is a gorgeous offering ‘into the experience of life’ by creator Lalania Simone. If there ever was a deck to get me back to deeply diving into the cards and sharing them with folks, this would be the one. It causes my Libra Sun to just sing with how absurdly lovely it is—all done up in rich colors.” —Tarot of the QTPOC
