Neo Oracle Tarot Deck

A Fusion of Modern Aesthetic & Ancient Wisdom Meets Bold Art

Introduction

Neo Oracle Tarot Deck was born out of a desire to reimagine tarot for the modern world, merging ancient spiritual symbolism with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Inspired by Basquiat’s raw, expressive design style, each card is created to guide the viewer in introspection and exploration. Using vibrant colors and deliberate symbols, this deck speaks to the soul, invoking a spiritual resonance with a modern twist.

The Neo Oracle deck features the 22 Major Arcana cards, each painstakingly crafted to offer both traditional wisdom and fresh interpretations. Whether for seasoned tarot readers or those curious about the practice, this deck invites users to explore their own intuitive powers and journey within.

Process & Tools

The creation of the Neo Oracle deck began with an exploration into how AI could assist in crafting universal tarot designs. Initially, I aimed to find a prompt that would be interchangeable across all cards, but it quickly became clear that each card required its own unique blend of symbolism, color, and emotion. I dived deep into research, using Claude for guidance on which symbols, colors, and figures would evoke the right feelings for each card.

From there, I experimented with LeonardoAI and returned to Claude for refinements, making it an iterative and layered creative process. As I progressed and became more immersed in playing with AI, the idea for a tarot app emerged. This app, designed to randomly generate a card and offer a reading, was built to provide users with motivation, empowerment, or even just a bit of fun. The final designs were brought to life through Adobe Fresco on my iPad, where I focused on redrawing and refining each card to embody the vision I had throughout the process.

Purpose

At its core, the Neo Oracle tarot deck is a bridge between ancient spiritual wisdom and the creative power of AI. Each card is designed to inspire, uplift, and offer insight, whether you’re seeking guidance, motivation, or simply a moment of reflection. My goal was to create a tool that feels both timeless and modern—something that honors the traditional symbolism of tarot, while also embracing the new possibilities of technology. The deck isn’t just for deep spiritual readings; it’s also designed for those moments when you want to have fun, or spark your imagination. Whether you’re new to tarot or a seasoned reader, I hope Neo Oracle invites you to explore your own intuition and inner wisdom with a sense of curiosity and empowerment.
