The Medusa and Myth Tarot was developed using a storytelling approach. Each card is associated with a story, character, or plot point from greek mythology. When deciphering meaning, the reader can rely on the stories for meaning rather than memorizing certain symbols or figures. The reader can also look to how the stories and characters intersect when using multiple cards in a reading. While the deck isn’t currently for sale, you can download it and print at home if you so choose. I hope to have printed copies available when I do my readings in the future.

The art in the Medusa and Myth deck comes from public domain and creative commons licensed images. This page contains the references for each image if you’d like to use them in your own work. This deck is licensed CC By SA 4.0 and can be downloaded here.

If you download the deck, please consider donating toward the cost of getting the cards formally printed.
