Hand-painted tarot deck with 84 cards and five holographic Luna inserts
Most tarot decks rely on digital illustration or ink drawings that reproduce cleanly but lack physical presence. This one uses oil paint, which means you see brushwork, layered color, and light that shifts across surfaces—the same techniques that make old master paintings feel alive in person. The Celtic and nature motifs aren't decorative; they're woven into the symbolism of each card, so the imagery does interpretive work rather than just looking mystical.
The 23rd arcana card and five holographic Luna inserts make this more than a pretty reissue of the Rider-Waite structure. If you read regularly and want a deck that feels like a working tool with artistic weight, the hand-painted detail and expanded card set justify the step up from standard printed decks.

The details
This 84-card tarot deck builds on the traditional structure with hand-painted imagery by artist Linnea Gits and hand-lettered copy by Peter Dunham. Every card was rendered in oil paint, giving the artwork a depth and texture that feels closer to gallery pieces than mass-produced illustration.
The set includes 78 standard tarot cards plus six additions: a 23rd Higher Arcana card called "The Seeker" and five holographic Luna Cards that shimmer with a silver finish. The expanded arcana structure offers a reading path not found in conventional decks, while the Luna Cards introduce reflective pauses within spreads.
Visual themes draw from Celtic symbolism and the lighting techniques of Renaissance painting. The color palette leans toward earthy tones and muted golds, with shadow work that gives each figure a three-dimensional presence. Cards arrive in a sturdy box suitable for long-term storage.
This deck works equally well for divination practice, as a creative prompt tool, or for anyone building a collection of illustrated card sets. The hand-painted surfaces and expanded card count make it a functional piece that doubles as an art object.

Questions
- What is the 23rd Higher Arcana card?
- The 23rd card is called The Seeker, an addition to the traditional 22-card Major Arcana structure. It expands the narrative arc of the Higher Arcana and offers a unique position in spreads that most tarot decks do not include.
- What are the Luna Cards used for?
- The five holographic Luna Cards are silver-finished inserts that can be used as reflective pauses or markers within readings. Their specific use varies by reader, but they typically serve as contemplative breaks or signifiers of lunar influence in a spread.
- Does this deck follow the Rider-Waite structure?
- It builds on the traditional 78-card tarot structure but adds six cards: a 23rd Higher Arcana card and five Luna Cards. The imagery is original, hand-painted work rather than a reinterpretation of Rider-Waite iconography, so familiarity with standard meanings will help but the visual language is distinct.
- Can beginners use this deck for learning tarot?
- Yes, though the expanded structure and hand-painted imagery may require more interpretive work than decks with standardized symbols. Beginners comfortable with visual storytelling will find the artwork rich for building intuitive reading skills, but those seeking rigid symbol-to-meaning matches may prefer a more conventional deck first.
- Are the cards coated or treated for durability?
- The product details do not specify a coating or finish on the card stock. Tarot decks of this type are typically printed on sturdy card stock, but if you plan to shuffle frequently or use the deck in public settings, handling them with care will preserve the hand-painted artwork over time.
