Ephemere Tarot

Ephemere reimagines the classic Fool’s Journey to present a new odyssey inspired by literary classics and ancient mythologies. Known as the Hero’s Journey, this story tells a timeless tale of humble origins to inspiring moments, heartbreaking defeat to lifelong lessons, and triumphant victories that build an enduring legacy. Combined with classic Rider-Waite-Smith minor arcana, this full set of 80 cards presents a story that is both familiar and refreshing, intuitively relatable and timelessly relevant.

Ephemere deck contains:
• 80 cards on 16pt nonreflective matte stock (more flexible compared to TrueBlack)
• Magnetic book-style box
• Guide booklet
• Standard tarot size, 2.75”x4.75”
• Printed and packaged in the USA!

The major arcana cards have been reimagined as a “Hero’s Journey” in place of the classic “Fool’s Journey”.Countless historic, ancient, and modern epics follow a curiously universal structure sometimes called the “Hero’s Journey.” Ephemere tells this timeless story of our willpower, struggles, failures, and how we pick up the pieces to continue onwards.

Most reimagined major arcana cards retain strong parallels to traditional Rider Waite-Smith counterparts, though some will seem completely new. These reimagined majors are:
• Origin, Dream, Summon
• Fighter, Alchemist, Keeper
• Voyager, Dulcess, Nemesis
• Obscurio, Burn, Healer
• Seeker, Counterpoint (m/f), (m/m), (f/f)
• Defiance, Crescendo
• Victor, Sacrifice, Ovation
• Death, Legacy, Continuum

The booklet, co-written by Mat Auryn and Arthur Wang, will detail the similarities and differences between these new cards and the traditional RWS majors, as well as diving into the expanded storyline of the Hero’s Journey. The Minor Arcana cards still follow traditional Rider Waite-Smith symbolism and the classic 4 suits.

Description

Ephemere Tarot

Water Resistance:

TrueBlack’s water resistance is a unique property of both the cardstock and its coating. Water will not penetrate the front and back, though the edges are more vulnerable in a spill or complete submersion. In these cases, be sure to pat dry the edges first and let dry before use.

Though ultimately composed of paper stock and still susceptible to damage through extended submersion, TrueBlack cards may be submerged for several times longer than average cards before permanent water damage. Good news if you’re prone to accidents!

Curled Cards:

TrueBlack’s cardstock was uniquely chosen for its density, thickness, and water resistance, but can be susceptible to curling over time through heat and humidity.

To counteract this curl, simply curl the cards in the opposite direction around a cylinder (ideally about 1.75 inches in diameter, though a can of Red Bull works). Use a few cards at a time, making sure to wrap the entire card, from edge to edge, around the cylinder for just a couple of seconds. The cards may seem “over-corrected” at first, but will even out over the course of the day. Presto!
