The concept of The Generic Tarot came from the idea of ‘How minimalist can I go? Maybe stick figures?’ but then I discovered that that’s already been done! (marvelously, by the way). Then I was left to think… ‘My goodness, how do you get more minimalist than stick figures?’ Well, this is how!
I hope this offers a unique and whimsical take on the traditional tarot deck, stripping away the elaborate artwork and symbolism typically associated with tarot, and emphasizing minimalism and simplicity.

The concept of The Generic Tarot came from the idea of ‘How minimalist can I go? Maybe stick figures?’ but then I discovered that that’s already been done! (marvelously, by the way). Then I was left to think… ‘My goodness, how do you get more minimalist than stick figures?’ Well, this is how!
I hope this offers a unique and whimsical take on the traditional tarot deck, stripping away the elaborate artwork and symbolism typically associated with tarot, and emphasizing minimalism and simplicity.
No Guidebook:
In keeping with the minimalist generic motif, there is no guidebook included. Seasoned readers are invited to rely heavily on their intuition, instincts, experiences, and personal interpretations. Trust the inner voice and wisdom. Or you could look it up on the internet like everyone else.
Reading with The Generic Tarot:
Using The Generic Tarot for readings presents an interesting challenge. Without the usual visual cues and symbolic references, readers must focus more on the energy and intuition that each card evokes. This could lead to a more abstract and emotionally driven reading style or a very boring reading. Seriously, the odds are 50/50, take a chance.
A Unique Tool for Experienced Readers:
The Generic Tarot, with its minimalist approach, might particularly appeal to experienced tarot readers who are familiar with the traditional meanings of the cards and are looking for a fresh, uncluttered new way to flex.
Novelty and Humor in Divination:
The humorous intent behind The Generic Tarot adds a layer of lightheartedness to the practice, making this deck a delightful tool for breaking the ice in group readings or as a novel addition to a tarot enthusiast’s collection.
The Generic Tarot in the Modern Context:
The concept of The Generic Tarot is particularly relevant in today’s world, where there is a growing appreciation for minimalism and essentialism in various forms of art and expression. This deck could be viewed as a reflection of the desire to strip away the non-essential, focusing on the core. Or, more probably and likely, it simply tickled my funny bone to create this deck.
Either way, have fun! Excelsior!!!
