A new ‘Game of Thrones’ tarot card deck brings Westeros and card reading together.
From Melisandre’s glamours to Qartheen warlocks drinking nightshade, Game of Thrones is imbued with magic and mysticism. Now, a celebrated tarot card creator and illustrator have teamed up to bring us a Thrones-themed tarot deck, intertwining the age-old practice with the fantastical world of Westeros.
Created by tarot expert and author Liz Dean, the set includes a full set of cards and a hardcover booklet explaining the symbolism of each card and how to use them in a tarot reading. The richly colored and beautifully detailed cards make use of characters, stories and scenes from Thrones, which Dean calls an “outstanding story” perfect for a tarot deck.

“Archetypes are the foundation of every great tale — and Game of Thrones is an outstanding story, a rich weave … From the icy landscapes beyond the Wall to the hot deserts of Dorne, the world of Game of Thrones is replete with symbolism: an abundant source for a new tarot deck,” Dean says.

The cards and booklet are illustrated by Craig Coss, a fine artist and illustrator. Although the deck isn’t available until March 20, 2018, it is available for pre-order at Amazon and Chronicle Books.
