Under the Oak Tarot

At the center of this 78-card deck is Anima, a young blind girl who finds herself on an island ruled by a great oak tree. Her blindness becomes a kind of gift: unable to see the world as others do, she perceives its enchantment more keenly than anyone else around her. Elena Bia's illustrations are built around a palette of teal, purple, and navy accented by warm oranges and yellows, a color scheme that creates a genuinely atmospheric quality throughout.

The deck draws on figures and beings from various world mythologies woven into Anima's story, giving each card a narrative context as well as a symbolic one. For readers who appreciate decks that function like illustrated storybooks, with characters that develop across the spread of 78 cards, this is a particularly satisfying find.
