The Sapphic Enchantress Tarot Deck: “Strength,” “The Moon,” and “The World”

The Sapphic Enchantress Tarot Deck was made with the intention of creating a card system that could resonate with an audience especially consisting of people of marginalised genders and sexual orientations. The deck consists exclusively of women, as a deliberate expression of the intrinsic wholeness of women within themselves. This deck explores not only the love that can exist between women, but also the strength that exists in women themselves.
