A Different World Folklore on Every Card

Tarot of the Divine sets the standard seventy eight card Major and Minor Arcana against a different world folklore, deity or fairy tale on every card, illustrated by Yoshi Yoshitani and published by Clarkson Potter in 2020. It keeps the traditional tarot's structure, sequence and Golden Dawn and Rider Waite Smith trump order, Strength at eight and Justice at eleven, while drawing its imagery from cultures across the globe on a card by card basis rather than settling on any single tradition, pairing figures and stories from unrelated historical and cultural sources within one reading system.

That cross cultural, card by card approach differs from this catalogue's closest structural relative, Osho Zen Tarot, which draws its entire theme from one teacher and movement rather than varying its source with every card, and from Tarot of Sexual Magic's single sustained thematic lens across the whole deck. Yoshitani's vibrant, flat colour illustration style gives each card its own distinct visual treatment suited to whichever folklore or fairy tale it depicts, published the same year Sterling issued Modern Witch Tarot, both decks reworking the standard seventy eight card structure toward a more contemporary and culturally varied readership without departing from the underlying Major and Minor Arcana framework.
