It’s official the 2nd of December at the time of writing and Christmas is fast approaching! I am a fan of seasonality-themed decks, Yuletide Tarot being my go-to deck to use during the festive period. That might change soon with the RWS Christmas Tarot Deck. Created by Matt Green, a graphic designer and lifelong tarot enthusiast from Dalton, Georgia, this deck promises to bring both holiday magic and the mysticism of tarot into one beautifully illustrated collection.
Green, who previously made waves with his RWS Halloween Tarot Deck, has long harbored a vision for a Christmas-themed tarot deck. “I knew pretty soon into making the Halloween deck that I was going to just HAVE to make a Christmas deck,” says Green. And now, through a Kickstarter campaign, his dream is coming to life.
The RWS Christmas Tarot Deck draws inspiration from the timeless artwork of the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck while infusing each card with the spirit of the season. Green has carefully designed each card to reflect the festive joys and beauty of Christmas—from snowy landscapes to twinkling lights, each card captures the magic and warmth that define the holiday season.
“Each of the 78 cards is fully illustrated, featuring rich colors and festive themes,” Green explains. The deck will be printed on durable 350gsm butter varnish matte finish, ensuring high quality and a tactile experience that matches the visual appeal.
The RWS Christmas Tarot Deck also comes with beautifully designed packaging, making it an ideal gift for tarot lovers and a perfect addition to any collection. Whether you’re using it for personal readings or adding it to your shelf as a holiday treasure, this deck is sure to add some cheer to your tarot practice.
The RWS Christmas Tarot Deck starts from just $30 for a deck and Green is also offering the option for backers to secure both the RWS Christmas Tarot Deck and his earlier RWS Halloween Tarot Deck for a discounted price, ensuring that collectors don’t miss out on either seasonal offering.
