Guidebook for Old Whispers Tarot
About this deck
Characterized by vibrant comic-style brushwork, Old Whispers Tarot (CMC Tarot) is a Cthulhu-themed RWS deck inspired by the fictional cosmology created by H. P. Lovecraft. We have illustrated nearly 100 Lovecraftian characters in hopes of conveying the mystique of tarot through the glory of the Cthulhu Mythos.
CMC Tarot is designed for collection and viewing purposes. The meaning of our illustrations may differ from the original RWS deck. We do not suggest using CMC Tarot for professional cartomancy.
