If you are starting from zero
Four reasons "tarot looks difficult" does not apply hereRead more
- The standard system, in costumeBecause the deck is Rider-Waite compliant with English titles, every beginner resource ever written for the standard deck applies here.
- Gentle enough to keep picking upEven those who found tarot intimidating enter easily through this soft, wistful world — and a deck you enjoy holding is a deck you actually practice with.
- Start with a one-card drawNo spread to learn. One card answers the question in front of you.
- The full 78 means full readingsBoth Arcana are complete, so the deck grows with you from first draw to full spreads.
The artwork
The tent rises, the cards are dealt, and every act means something.
Shappo tips his hat, Crow schemes in the wings, Spica drifts through the starlight — each of the 78 cards is meticulously crafted, blending the circus troupe's bittersweet world with the classic symbolism. There are always new discoveries to be made with every reading.
— The day this deck was made —
Some worlds are already halfway to tarot before you begin.
"A circus is a fortune told in acts."
Sentimental Circus was born from the idea that abandoned toys dream of a second life under the big top — longing, transformation, applause. Which is, act for act, what the Major Arcana has always described. When San-X granted the license, our designers matched troupe to trump card by card, keeping the deck fully Rider-Waite compliant so its sweetness never costs it a reading.
