Tarot is a game of pictures: a mysterious template that seeks to offer guidance through the murky, devastating ecstasy that is human existence. Start at zero, gather all of your tools and begin stumbling, unraveling and ascending your way through it. Who needs a map?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of themed Tarot decks. The Skowhegan Alumni Tarot deck is loosely based on a quote regarding the first Chaos Magician, Austin Spare: “diagrams of ideas which I have quite failed to unravel.”
