Description
The Before Tarot Deck, also known as Tarot: One Moment Before, offers a fascinating twist on traditional tarot imagery by depicting the moments that lead up to the classic Rider-Waite-Smith scenes. This unique concept invites readers to explore what happens just before the iconic images we all recognise, adding depth, nuance, and fresh layers of meaning to readings.
Created by renowned tarot author Corrine Kenner with artwork by Eon & Simona Rossi, this 78-card deck provides the full Major and Minor Arcana in a style that is both familiar and refreshingly different. By shifting the focus to the precursor moments, the deck opens new doors for interpretation, offering context and foreshadowing that can change the way you connect with the cards.
For example, instead of simply seeing The Fool mid-step on his fateful journey, the Before Tarot may show us the instant before he leaps — revealing hesitation, anticipation, or unseen influences. Each card becomes a story in motion, giving readers the chance to reflect not only on outcomes but on the choices and energies that lead us there.
The accompanying guidebook provides meanings and insights tailored to these new perspectives, making it accessible for beginners while also offering advanced practitioners an exciting expansion of their practice. Whether you are exploring tarot for self-reflection, divination, or creative inspiration, the Before Tarot invites you to think about cause and effect, past and present, and the chain of events that shape our lives.
Beautifully illustrated and conceptually rich, the Before Tarot Deck is perfect for tarot enthusiasts who wish to deepen their connection with the cards. As part of a trio alongside the After Tarot and In Between Tarot, it stands out as a creative reimagining of tradition, designed to expand your tarot journey in powerful new directions.
