The Holy Card Tarot

Many people think Christianity and tarot do not mix, well this is a very extreme example they do, you have to know and recognize many many saints. Every card in this deck is the depiction of a saint

Patty Gallagher made her deck entirely out of  holy card images ranging from classical art to anonymously created religious art that so many of us recognize and have a both vintage and religious look and feel.A great deck for those wanting to combine a Christian background with tarot.

The homepage for the deck is here

  1. hi, thanks for your interest in the deck! it's a syncretic attempt to broaden the frame of reference for it's users...and to show that spiritual imagery is universal in the West. How did you see the deck?

  3. I just bought this deck and am thrilled with it! I have never seen anything like this. The parallels between the saints and the traditional tarot images blew my mind! The symbolism of each card is explained for those unfamiliar with the saints. Very high quality cards.
