The complex and fascinating images of
the tarot have captured the imagination of old
and young alike. Working with tarot cards can be
a great learning experience for young children
-- from games to storytelling to a "first
collection," the exposure to tarot can open a
child's mind and provide an early introduction
to spiritual concepts that will last a lifetime.
Encouraging kids to make their own tarot
cards can be a great exercise in imagination or
an engaging rainy-day project. The medium can be
as simple as pencil-and-paper, or as complex as
paintings on actual cards (blank 78-card decks
with the "USG Rider-Waite" plaid back design are
available from the Tarot Garden for $8). And if
your budding artist has created a tarot card or
three, we'd love to see them! The pages linked
together here comprise a gallery, showcasing the
tarot art of the "next generation" of tarot
lovers. We hope you enjoy browsing this charming
collection of tarot archetypes, as envisioned by
kids from all over the world.
If you have tarot art that you'd be willing
to have us post on this page, please send the
following in an email to jkr@tarotgarden.com
(adults only please -- send artwork on behalf of
kids or teens, age 17 or younger):
- Child's name, age, and mailing address
(for confidentiality reasons, the child's
full name and address will not be posted;
refer to the other pages in this section for
the information included with each picture's
credit).
- Scan or graphic file with the artwork (no
more than two cards, please -- if more than
two are sent, we will choose which two to
post). Graphics should be in .jpg or .gif
format, if possible.
- Statement of parental permission to
include the picture(s) provided on this
page.
As a "thank you" for each submission
received, we will send the child a free set of
the Caring
Psychic Family major arcana cards. We're
waiting to display your junior tarotist's art
for all to enjoy!
