A Cast of Different Witches Across Seventy Eight Cards

The Everyday Witch Tarot follows the standard seventy eight card Major and Minor Arcana through the adventures of a cast of different witches, illustrated by Elisabeth Alba with guidebook text by Deborah Blake, published by Llewellyn in 2017. It keeps the traditional tarot's structure, sequence and Golden Dawn and Rider Waite Smith trump order, Strength at eight and Justice at eleven, intact, presenting each card not as an abstract symbol but as a scene from an ordinary modern witch's daily life, cooking, gardening, working and resting, standing in for the historical deck's more formal figures.

That choice, a different witch for every card rather than one recurring figure, gives Everyday Witch Tarot a broader cast than a single character narrative would allow, closer in spirit to a communal snapshot of everyday witchcraft than to one protagonist's story told scene by scene. It stands in contrast to Deviant Moon Tarot's own sustained cast of masked figures returning card after card, the tone differing just as sharply, warm and cartoon styled here against Deviant Moon's gothic dreamscape. Read upright and reversed, the deck follows the full traditional Major and Minor Arcana without renaming any suit or adding cards beyond the standard count.
