Product Details

Inversion Tarot in a Tin is a 78-card pocket deck, each card measuring approximately 2.17 x 3.85 inches, packaged in a 2.75 x 4.125-inch tin for easy carrying.

Tarot reading is a long-practiced personal and interpretive divination technique in which drawn cards are read by the person doing the reading; its outcomes are a matter of personal belief and interpretation rather than a scientifically proven predictive method, and we're describing it in those terms rather than presenting it as a verified effect. Many people find value in the practice as a structured way to reflect on a question and access their own intuition, whether or not a card draw reflects anything beyond chance, symbolism, and interpretation. A quiet moment to center yourself before shuffling is generally recommended, since a calmer, more focused mindset tends to produce a more thoughtful reading.

The Marseille tarot lineage this deck follows is a genuine, centuries-old European card lineage, distinct from the later Rider-Waite-Smith system used by many other decks in our collection - its visual language and card meanings differ, so it rewards learning on its own terms.

This deck's mid-century black-and-white artwork is credited as originally created by Paul Mathison and adapted into this deck by Jody Boginski Barbessi - an authorship split we're naming plainly as described rather than smoothing into a single-creator story.

Shuffle while holding your question in mind, try one of the two spreads from the included 64-page booklet, and keep the deck in its tin between readings to protect the cards.

Main Ingredients

A 78-card tarot deck, each card measuring approximately 2.17 x 3.85 inches, packaged in a 2.75 x 4.125-inch tin, with a 64-page booklet, artwork originally by Paul Mathison, adapted by Jody Boginski Barbessi.

Shelf Life & Storage

Store it dry. Keep the deck in its included box, tin, or a card pouch away from humidity, which can warp cardstock.

Keep it out of direct sunlight. Prolonged light exposure can fade printed colors over time.

It doesn't expire. As a printed cardstock product rather than a consumable, there's no shelf life to track beyond normal wear from handling.

Safety Instructions

Keep away from small children and pets. Loose cards, tins, and small boxes can be a choking hazard.

Handle cards gently. Cardstock can bend, crease, or tear with rough shuffling or handling, especially at the corners and edges.

Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Both can warp cards or fade printed artwork over time.

Not a medical, legal, or financial tool. Use this deck for personal reflection only, not as a substitute for professional advice.

Caution & Disclaimer

Caution: Keep small decks, tins, and boxes away from young children and pets due to choking hazard and card edges, store the deck away from direct sunlight and moisture to protect the print and cardstock, and handle worn cards gently to avoid bending or tearing.

Disclaimer: This is a decorative and personal-reflection tool, not a medical, legal, financial, or scientific instrument; any guidance it offers reflects personal interpretation and technique, not a proven predictive method, and it isn't a substitute for professional advice on important decisions.
