Deeply influenced by mysticism, folk art and storytelling, California-based artist Mary Elizabeth Evans's illustrated tarot decks that contain occult themes with a feminist twist. Her artistic approach to divination radically differs from the traditionally-styled tarots, offering a fun and more personalized approach to the popular ritual.

While the 'Road to Nowhere' [Oracle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-oraclechan) deck relies on a language of symbolism, utilizing psychedelic thematic and fitting collage designs, the 'Vessel' Oracle deck is definitely a more romantically whimsical option that builds on love, communication and feelings. The remaining illustrated tarot decks rely on hand-drawn quirky black and white graphics.

Spirit Speak is an artist-run business that offers an original approach to mysticism and ritual. These illustrated tarot decks are a great gift for tarot reader lovers and people, affiliated with spiritualism.
