The Haptic Tarot

A tactile journey through tarot, intuition, symbolism, and art.

Inspired by the early Renaissance artistry of Jan van Eyck, The Haptic Tarot offers a uniquely sensorial approach to tarot, placing the hands at the centre of intuition and meaning.

Drawing on the concept of haptic — our sense of touch — this beautifully atmospheric deck invites readers to explore tarot through gesture, symbolism, emotion, and personal interpretation. By focusing on expressive hands and meaningful gestures while leaving faces unseen, each card creates space for the reader’s own intuition to take centre stage.

Rooted in the foundational symbolism of the Smith-Waite Tarot, The Haptic Tarot blends timeless tarot tradition with Renaissance-inspired artistry and contemporary visual design. The result is an evocative deck that encourages readers to look beyond the obvious and connect with the emotions, stories, and symbolism held within each image.
