Tarot du crépuscule - A divinatory tarot card deck

The "Tarot du Crépuscule" (Tarot of Twilight) is a 22-card Major Arcana deck created by French tattooist and illustrator Zapatrax. This deck represents the artist's personal vision of traditional tarot symbols, reinterpreted through a distinctive dark, whimsical, and slightly gothic aesthetic. Originally conceived as an art school diploma project, the deck was refined over four years to reflect Zapatrax's unique artistic universe.

Each card measures 12x7 cm (4.72x2.75 inches) and is printed on Satimat 320g paper with round corners and a double-sided anti-stripe matte laminating finish. The deck is housed in a custom-made thick paper box with a black sheath adorned with a golden pattern. The Kickstarter campaign successfully funded in 2019, allowing Zapatrax to bring this personal project to print.

The deck was initially offered in both English and French, with the English version being exclusive to the Kickstarter campaign. Future reprints of the "Tarot du Crépuscule" will only be available in French, making the English edition a unique collectible for backers. This project showcases Zapatrax's commitment to her artistic vision and her desire to share a divinatory tool that is both personal and aesthetically distinct.

This deck is ideal for tarot enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate dark, gothic, or whimsical art styles, especially those with an interest in tattoo art or French illustration. It appeals to readers who prefer Major Arcana-only decks for focused, archetypal readings. Given its unique artistic interpretation, it is best suited for experienced readers or those comfortable with intuitive reading, rather than absolute beginners seeking a strictly traditional RWS interpretation.

Zapatrax, a young tattooist and illustrator from Lyon, France, launched this Kickstarter as her second campaign. The "Tarot du Crépuscule" is a deeply personal project, originating as her art school diploma work four years prior to the campaign. She continuously reworked the deck, striving to create a version that truly reflected her unique artistic universe. The successful crowdfunding allowed her to finally print this significant project, making her vision accessible to a wider audience.
