Ephemere Tarot Deck

The follow-up to the outstanding True Black tarot from Arthur Wang.

 Ephemere follows in the footsteps of literary classics, historic mythology, and ancient anthropological discoveries to inspire a new odyssey. Through it, we experience a journey from humble origins to inspiring moments, heartbreaking defeat to lifelong lessons, and triumphant victories that build an enduring legacy. 

The major arcana cards have been reimagined as a "Hero's Journey" in place of the classic "Fool's Journey". Just as the Epic of Gilgamesh centers around a hero's struggle to conquer death and his own ephemerality, Ephemere follows a timeless story of our willpower, struggles, failures, and how we pick up the pieces to continue onwards. The majority of these major arcana cards retain strong parallels to traditional Rider Waite-Smith counterparts, though some will seem completely new.

The booklet, co-written by Mat Auryn and Arthur Wang, will detail the similarities and differences between these new cards and the traditional RWS majors, as well as diving into the expanded storyline of the Hero’s Journey. The Minor Arcana cards still follow traditional Rider Waite-Smith symbolism and the classic 4 suits. Each purchase includes 80 cards on thick matte stock printed and packaged in the US, housed inside a magnetic book-style box complete with guide booklet.
