Minnesota Tarot

The creation of a Minnesota-themed Tarot deck emerged from a deep appreciation for the rich tapestry and natural beauty of the North Star State. Minnesota, with its unique blend of urban sophistication and expansive wilderness, offers a profound canvas for exploring the archetypal themes embodied in Tarot. By infusing the traditional Tarot symbolism with Minnesota's distinctive landscapes, historical landmarks, and cultural elements, we aim to provide a fresh and resonant interpretation of these timeless cards.

The Fool card, as an example, is reimagined with a young man poised on an ice bridge, Minneapolis' skyline in the distance. This imagery captures the essence of Minnesota's winters and the adventurous spirit of its people, blending the card’s traditional themes of new beginnings and potential risks with a local twist. The inclusion of a cheerful white dog trotting behind the Fool symbolizes companionship and loyalty, common traits found in the friendly and close-knit communities across Minnesota.

Each card in this deck is meticulously designed to reflect various facets of Minnesota life, from the vibrant urban energy of Minneapolis and St. Paul to the serene beauty of the Boundary Waters and the North Shore. Historical and cultural references, such as the State Fair, local folklore, and indigenous heritage, are woven into the imagery, offering a rich, layered experience for Tarot enthusiasts.

Our goal with this Minnesota-themed Tarot deck is to celebrate the state’s unique character and to create a tool for introspection and guidance that resonates on a personal and cultural level. Whether you are a Minnesotan yourself or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and diversity of this remarkable state, this deck provides a meaningful connection to Minnesota’s spirit. It serves as a bridge between traditional Tarot wisdom and the distinctive energy of the land of 10,000 lakes, inviting users to explore their own journeys with a touch of Minnesota magic.

Furthermore, we have carefully selected the Minor Arcana suits to align with Minnesota’s distinct seasons. Winter is represented by Swords, reflecting the cold, sharp winters. Spring is depicted through Wands, symbolizing the magic and renewal of this vibrant time of year. Pentacles capture the abundance and warmth of summer, while Cups embody the reflective and bountiful nature of autumn. This seasonal alignment enhances the deck’s connection to the natural rhythms and beauty of Minnesota.

Minnesota Tarot also includes 20 page booklet.
