Pride Tarot is a 78-card tarot deck created by U.S. Games Systems as a collaboration with 45 LGBTQ+ artists and allies, each contributing artwork to a card in the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith structure. Many cards portray real-life heroes and role models rather than archetypal figures, and the deck includes an extra Pride Flag Rainbow card for an optional six-card reading. A beautiful, inclusive deck for readers of every experience level. Quick facts Type Tarot deck Cards 78, plus 1 bonus Pride Flag Rainbow card for a six-card reading Creator/Artist Created by U.S. Games Systems, with artwork from 45 LGBTQ+ artists and allies System/Tradition Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) structure Publisher U.S. Games Systems Language English Guidebook included Yes, 192-page illustrated guidebook with card descriptions and artist bios Best for Readers of every experience level who want inclusive, community-made artwork About this deck Pride Tarot brings together 45 different artists, each interpreting a card from the classic Rider-Waite-Smith structure through their own lens, so the deck reads as both a working tarot deck and a gallery of LGBTQ+ artistic voices. Some cards portray real people whose stories model courage or compassion, giving familiar archetypes a grounded, human face. The 192-page guidebook includes not just card meanings but short bios on each contributing artist, plus a dedicated Parade Card Spread designed around the deck's themes. Since the structure follows RWS conventions, it pairs naturally with other decks in that lineage, like our Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

How to use it Because Pride Tarot follows the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith card meanings, anyone who already reads RWS-style decks can pick this one up without relearning the system — it's the artwork and represented stories that make it distinct. New readers can start with a single daily card, using the guidebook's meanings alongside the artist's note for that card. When you're ready, try the included Parade Card Spread, or use the bonus Pride Flag Rainbow card to add a sixth position to any spread. Care & storage Store the deck in its box away from moisture and direct sunlight to protect the artwork and card stock. Many readers cleanse a new deck before its first use — through incense, moonlight, or a deliberate shuffle while setting an intention — though this is a matter of personal preference rather than a requirement.
