Runic Tarot by Jack Sephiroth – 78-Card Tarot Deck Inspired by Norse Mythology

Step into Valhalla: the Realm of the Gods with the Runic Tarot, a 78-card tarot deck by Jack Sephiroth, creator of the acclaimed Heaven & Earth Tarot. Rooted in Norse mythology, this deck combines the wisdom of the Runes, the poetry of the Skalds, and the valor of the Einherjars, celebrating the divine spark within humanity.

Deck Features

Journey Through the Wisdom of the Norse Gods

Walk the path of the Vikings, where ancient runes, powerful deities, and timeless tarot archetypes unite.

Beyond the mountains lies Yggdrasil, the great World Tree.

Beyond the seas waits Valhalla.

And woven through them both is the ancient wisdom of the runes.

Created by acclaimed fantasy artist Jack Sephiroth, creator of the much-loved Heaven & Earth Tarot, the Runic Tarot is an epic fusion of Norse mythology and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot tradition. Rich with Viking legends, pagan symbolism, and the enduring power of the Elder Futhark, this breathtaking deck invites readers to explore tarot through the heroic world of Odin, Freyja, Thor, Loki, and the ancient sagas.

Whether you're drawn to Norse mythology, rune magic, or simply looking for a beautifully illustrated tarot deck unlike any other, the Runic Tarot offers a reading experience that feels both ancient and timeless.

⚔ Where Tarot Meets Norse Mythology

Rather than replacing the traditional tarot structure, Runic Tarot enriches it.

Jack Sephiroth seamlessly blends the familiar Rider-Waite-Smith archetypes with:

• 🪓 The wisdom of the Elder Futhark runes
• 🌳 The mythology of Yggdrasil
• ⚡ The gods and goddesses of Asgard
• 🐺 Legendary heroes and creatures from the Norse sagas
• 🛡 Viking symbolism, folklore, and ancient spiritual traditions

The result is a deck that remains intuitive to read while opening an entirely new doorway into Nordic mythology and pagan wisdom.

The Experience of Runic Tarot

Every culture tells stories to explain the mysteries of life.

The Norse simply told them with gods, giants, ravens, wolves, dragons, and heroes.

The Runic Tarot captures that spirit beautifully.

Each card feels like a page from an ancient saga, filled with courage, sacrifice, destiny, wisdom, and transformation. The familiar tarot journey becomes intertwined with the legends of the North, where Odin sacrifices for knowledge, Thor protects the realms, and the runes reveal truths hidden beneath the surface.

Jack Sephiroth's artwork is wonderfully cinematic, filled with sweeping landscapes, intricate armour, sacred symbols, and powerful characters that feel alive with movement and meaning.

Whether you're already working with the runes or simply fascinated by Norse mythology, this deck creates readings that are immersive, inspiring, and deeply symbolic.

Collector's Note

Following the success of the Heaven & Earth Tarot, Jack Sephiroth turned his attention to the myths of the North, creating one of Lo Scarabeo's most ambitious mythology-inspired decks. Rather than simply illustrating Viking legends, Runic Tarot thoughtfully integrates Norse cosmology, pagan symbolism, and rune lore into the familiar structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith system, making it accessible to tarot readers while offering remarkable depth for those already fascinated by the Norse world.

Why We Love It at Oneness Emporium

We've always believed mythology and tarot belong together.

Both use timeless archetypes to explore the human experience, asking the same questions about courage, sacrifice, destiny, wisdom, and transformation.

That's why the Runic Tarot feels so natural.

It doesn't simply decorate tarot with Viking imagery. It respectfully weaves together two rich traditions, allowing each to strengthen the other. The result is a deck that feels epic in scale yet surprisingly easy to read.

If you've ever stood in awe of Norse mythology, admired the wisdom of the runes, or dreamed of walking beneath the branches of Yggdrasil, this deck offers a beautiful way to bring that world into your tarot practice.
