Theme: Supernatural and gothic horror exploration

Medium: pencil ink

The Upside Down Tarot is a horror-themed deck by Ali Narida, featuring dark, hand-drawn illustrations with a gothic and supernatural aesthetic. It aims to explore unseen, sensible supernatural elements through its imagery.

About This Deck

The Upside Down Tarot, created by artist Ali Narida, is a 78-card deck designed to delve into supernatural and eerie themes. The artwork is characterized by a distinct horror aesthetic, featuring gothic elements, monstrous figures, and unsettling landscapes. The deck's title and visual style evoke a sense of a distorted or inverted reality, aligning with its stated purpose of exploring the 'upside down' aspects of the universe.

The deck's imagery appears to draw inspiration from classic horror tropes, including haunted houses, bats, witches, and other macabre figures. The color palette is often dark and moody, punctuated by stark contrasts and occasional vibrant, unsettling hues that highlight specific elements within the scenes. This visual approach creates a consistent atmosphere of mystery and dread, intended to resonate with readers interested in darker spiritual or psychological explorations.

While specific details about the card system are not provided, the presence of Roman numerals on the visible cards (I, III, VIII) suggests adherence to a traditional 78-card tarot structure, likely including Major and Minor Arcana. The interpretations would presumably lean into the shadow aspects, challenges, and hidden truths often associated with horror and the occult, offering a unique lens for self-reflection and divination.
