Featuring beloved indie comic artist Trungles' enchanting illustrative style, the Star Spinner Tarot reinterprets classic tarot imagery for a more inclusive and diverse reflection of the modern world, with illustrations drawn from a wide range of stories, myths, and fairy tales. Enter a world where fairies play, mermaids yearn, and threads of the familiar and fantastic are spun together to guide you on your own personal journey. Its shortcoming is the mostly thin figures with little body-size variation to be found, which is disappointing and unfortunately in-keeping with normative ideas of fantasy figures as thin and petite.Let the stars light your way.

This is a queer deck, intentionally diverse, and a much needed reset to often whitewashed cis-het fantasy imagery. All the Kings are animals, which I found intriguing (a raven king for the wands, a rabbit for the coins, a dragon for the chalices, and a finch or robin-like bird for the swords).

Other than the gorgeous variation in The Lovers cards, the names of the cards are familiar with the suits read as Chalices, Coins, Wands, and Swords- each with their own theme. In the guidebook, Trungles is intentional about noting the Asian and African origins of the Tarot and ensuing misappropriation powered by Imperialism that brought the tarot to Europe and gave us the familiar images we now consider ‘traditional’. There’s a good chunk of skin showing in the deck, which Trungles uses to distort expectations of what sex and gender look like in the body. In amongst the mermaids, angels, and fairies, the Star Spinner Tarot is reflective of the Rider-Waite Smith tradition but not tethered to it the images are a breath of fresh air. The art in this deck is beautiful, bold, unendingly vibrant, which Trungles somehow manages to maintain in even the cards with a darker palette.
