Fortuna Tarot Deck ✦ Opal Omen

The Fortuna Tarot Deck, specifically the 'Opal Omen' edition, is a 79-card deck created by Studio Artemy, with graphic design by Maria Praena. It aims to help users unlock their potential by combining ancient alchemical principles, tarot, astrology, and numerology. The deck was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2022, raising over $80,000 from 561 backers, indicating strong community interest in its unique blend of esoteric traditions.

The deck's core concept revolves around mastering the elements and transforming personal purpose into success, aligning with the alchemical theme of turning base metals into gold. While the campaign story is brief, the reward tiers reveal that the Fortuna Tarot is part of a larger system, with companion oracle decks (Astrosoul Oracle, Ethereal Orbs) and digital resources like a book of spreads and journaling reflections. This suggests a comprehensive approach to self-development and divination.

Beyond the 'Opal Omen' with its gold holographic foil, the Fortuna Tarot also comes in 'Amethyst Aura' (silver holographic foil) and 'Emerald Anima' (rose gold foil) versions. This variety in production finishes caters to different aesthetic preferences while maintaining the deck's overarching theme of transformation and elemental mastery. The inclusion of 79 cards, one more than the standard 78, hints at a unique addition or interpretation within the traditional tarot structure.

This deck is ideal for experienced tarot readers and collectors who appreciate a modern, elegant aesthetic with a strong emphasis on esoteric symbolism. Readers interested in alchemy, astrology, and numerology will find its integrated approach particularly appealing. Its minimalist, foil-heavy design also makes it suitable for those who prefer abstract or symbolic imagery over traditional figurative art, and it would appeal to individuals seeking a deck for deep, introspective work on personal potential and transformation.

Maria Praena, a graphic designer based in London, UK, is the creative force behind the Fortuna Tarot Deck. Describing herself as a 'Stargazer at night,' her background in graphic design is evident in the deck's polished, minimalist aesthetic. The Fortuna Tarot, created under Studio Artemy, reflects her interest in combining ancient esoteric principles with modern design to help individuals unlock their potential and achieve their goals.
