Tarot Chimera Deck & Guidebook

A symbolist tarot deck inspired by the dreamlike art of Odilon Redon

Tarot Chimera is a striking and unconventional 83-card tarot deck with full-colour guidebook, created by Nitasia Roland and inspired by the visionary Symbolist artworks of Odilon Redon (1840–1916). This highly anticipated tarot deck invites readers into the liminal space between dream and symbol, where the visible world serves the invisible.

Redon’s art, long celebrated for its exploration of the unconscious, the occult, and inner states of being, forms the visual foundation of Tarot Chimera. His haunting, surreal imagery has been digitally enhanced and thoughtfully interpreted for tarot, resulting in 83 full-colour cards with gold gilt edging that feel both timeless and otherworldly.

Following the structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, the deck includes the traditional Major and Minor Arcana, while placing special emphasis on the chimeric qualities of transformation, illusion, and becoming. In addition to the standard 78 cards, five auxiliary cards expand the reading system:

• The Chimera – enhancing Major Arcana archetypes

• The Muse – aligned with Cups / Water

• The Loci – aligned with Pentacles / Earth

• The Trickster – aligned with Wands / Fire

• Imagination – aligned with Swords / Air

All card meanings are presented in non–gender-specific language, allowing for inclusive, fluid interpretation.

The accompanying 200-page full-colour guidebook provides rich context and practical support, including:

• A biography of Odilon Redon

• Guidance on consecrating your tarot deck

• Traditional tarot spreads

• Full-page interpretations for every card

Tarot Chimera is equally suited to advanced readers seeking depth and curious beginners drawn to art-led tarot, offering a profound way to engage with dreams, symbols, and the guidance of spirit.
