Step into a snow-covered medieval world as I unbox and walk through the Winter in Carolingia Tarot by Pentagram Publishing.
In this video, we explore a beautifully atmospheric indie deck illustrated by Dmytro Ryzhak, where every card is set within a quiet, reflective winter landscape inspired by the Carolingian era. Created using intricate pen work and coloured ballpoint techniques, the artwork has a unique, hand-crafted feel that really sets this deck apart.
Join me as we take a closer look at the card stock, packaging, and guidebook, before diving into the imagery of the Major and Minor Arcana. With its Rider–Waite–Smith structure and fully illustrated scenes, this deck offers a familiar system wrapped in a deeply contemplative, seasonal mood.
There’s a stillness to this deck that invites pause, reflection, and introspection, making it a perfect companion for quieter readings or winter-inspired work.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, is this a deck you’d read with?
Please note: I received this deck from its publisher for prospective review. Everything I’ve said here is sincere and accurately reflects my opinion of the deck.
