Before Tarot by Pietro Alligo and Floreana Nativo, Art by Eon & Simona Rossi,

After the great success of the Tarot of the New Vision and the After Tarot, the trilogy closes with the Before Tarot. The traditional images are here seen a few moments "before". Each Arcana reveals a new aspect that leads us to a greater understanding of the cards, adding the temporal dimension to what we already know.

You can see a full flickthrough on Tiktok. I posted an interview spread on the blog.

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Before Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. This week we're interviewing the Before Tarot. The Before Tarot is a deck that shows us what was happening a few moments before the scene we're familiar with from the RWS deck; it shines new light on a lot of the scenes and alters the meaning in subtle ways. Paired with the After Tarot, which shows us the moments after, it can be a really powerful tool for introspection.

To highlight the differences, I’ve included the original RWS versions alongside the Before Tarot cards—so you can see exactly what’s changed, and how those changes affect the mood or meaning.

Let's start the interview and see what this deck wants to tell us!
