Deviant Moon Tarot Deck
The Deviant Moon Tarot has gathered something of a cult following since its release, and for good reason. Patrick Valenza built each card's imagery from manipulated photographs of 18th-century tombstones, setting the resulting moon-faced characters against surreal backgrounds of industrial smokestacks, asylum walls, and crumbling architecture. The deck took three years to complete in its final form, though Valenza traces its origins to childhood drawings he made at nine years old. It was voted the Top Tarot Deck of All Time by readers of Aeclectic Tarot. The booklet includes upright and reversed meanings and a custom ten-card Lunatic Spread.
About the Creator
Patrick Valenza discovered tarot at age nine and was immediately drawn to the 19th-century and medieval decks he found most compelling. He began making his own small images of the Fool and the Magician while his classmates drew more conventional subjects. The Deviant Moon Tarot represents the culmination of that lifelong interest — a record of his life and art in a form that is entirely his own.
