The Minoan Tarot
by Laura Perry
Ancient Minoans meet modern Tarot in this vibrant 86-card deck and guidebook set that calls on archetypes of Tarot through iconography inspired by beautiful works of art from ancient Crete.
Connect with mysterious snake priestesses, labyrinthine temple complexes, and courageous bull-leapers.
Explore gender-balanced face cards reflecting the egalitarian nature of Minoan society that makes this deck especially relevant for modern users: Priest and Priestess, Lord and Lady, Youth and Maid.
​
Each card's hand-painted artwork in the style of ancient Minoan art includes Linear B symbols (a writing system used in ancient Crete) reflecting literal image concepts or pointing to deeper meanings.
This deck and its beautiful full color guidebook can also be used for meditation and personal growth. Experienced and new readers will find The Minoan Tarot a natural tool.

Here's a video that showcases the art from all 86 cards - the whole deck!
Every Monday, I draw two Minoan Tarot cards for the week and share them on social media. You can find my social media links at the bottom of this page.
​
I also share an in-depth discussion of each week's cards on my Substack. All my Tarot posts are tagged separately, so you can sign up just for those and not my other writing, if you like.
If you're interested in the Minoans, you might enjoy some of my books. I've created a Minoan coloring book and written two historical novels set among the Minoans.
If you're looking for the Minoan Tarot deck by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince, you can find it here. Her deck wasn't available for purchase when I began designing mine, or I might never have started this project in the first place. She is aware of my deck, has no issue with the name, and there is no bad blood between us. In fact, we're friends. Since we both came up with similar ideas at about the same time, I have to think our decks are something the world needs. I encourage you to acquire both decks and enjoy their unique artwork and meanings.
