A 78-card tarot deck in purple foil with witch-themed artwork, packaged with a guidebook in a decorative gift box. Where the Gold & Turquoise Foil deck in this range is designed to appeal broadly — luxury-forward, colour-neutral enough for any spiritual aesthetic — the Witch Tarot chooses a specific audience and speaks directly to them. The imagery draws from modern witchcraft and alternative spirituality: the visual language of cauldrons, moons, herbs, familiars, and ritual that has become a thriving aesthetic in its own right. If you or your recipient identifies with the word "witch" — seriously, playfully, or somewhere in between — this is the deck that matches that identity.
What You Get
78-card tarot deck — full traditional structure: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana across four suits. A complete, fully readable deck compatible with any tarot spread or learning resource.
Purple foil finish. The artwork is enhanced with purple metallic foil that catches light and adds depth to the illustrations. Purple is a single-colour foil rather than the dual-colour approach of the Gold & Turquoise set — this creates a more cohesive, immersive visual effect. Every card shares the same purple-toned atmosphere, which gives the deck a consistency that dual-colour foil decks sometimes sacrifice for contrast.
Witch-themed illustrations. The artwork interprets the traditional tarot arcana through a modern witchcraft lens. The exact imagery varies card to card, but the overall visual language is rooted in contemporary witch culture — expect motifs associated with herbalism, lunar cycles, ritual practice, and the natural world as seen through a magical framework.
Guidebook with card-by-card interpretations, written for both beginners and experienced readers.
Decorative gift box. More compact than the Gold & Turquoise set's presentation box — this is a tighter, standard tarot box size rather than a large-format luxury package.
Card material: PET plastic. The same durable, waterproof, crease-resistant material used across the foil tarot range. PET cards are smoother and stiffer than paper — they shuffle differently and handle differently, but they last significantly longer. The purple foil bonds cleanly to the PET surface for a sharp, consistent metallic finish.
Dimensions: Box measures 13.5 × 8.5 × 4 cm — a standard tarot box size. Weight: 430g.
Made in China.
Why Purple
Purple has been the colour of magic, mystery, and the unseen for as long as colour has carried symbolic meaning. In Western esoteric tradition, purple sits at the boundary between the visible world (represented by red and warm tones) and the spiritual world (represented by blue and cool tones). It is the colour of the third eye chakra, of twilight, of the moment between waking and dreaming. On a tarot deck designed around witchcraft imagery, purple is not just a colour choice — it is the colour choice. It reinforces the atmosphere of every card it touches.
As a foil, purple behaves differently from gold. Gold foil is bright, reflective, and warm — it draws the eye outward. Purple foil is deeper and more absorbing — it pulls the eye in. The effect during a reading is subtly different: gold makes a card look valuable; purple makes a card look like it is holding something. For a deck designed around mystery and hidden knowledge, that inward pull is exactly right.
The Witch Tarot Identity
This deck exists within a specific cultural moment. "Witch" has been reclaimed, redefined, and widely embraced as an identity that encompasses modern paganism, herbalism, feminist spirituality, nature-based practice, and a broad spectrum of alternative approaches to meaning-making. The Witch Tarot's imagery speaks to this community directly rather than trying to be neutral enough for everyone.
That specificity is its strength. A person who identifies with witch culture will feel recognised by this deck in a way that a generic celestial or classical deck cannot achieve. It is a deck that says "this was made with you in mind" rather than "this was made for the widest possible audience." For gifting purposes, that specificity matters — it shows the giver understands the recipient's world rather than defaulting to something safe and generic.
Comparing the Two Foil Decks
If you are choosing between this and the Gold & Turquoise Foil set, the decision is really about identity and occasion. The Gold & Turquoise is the larger, more expensive, more broadly luxurious set — it reads as a premium gift for anyone with an interest in tarot, regardless of their specific spiritual identity. The Witch Tarot is smaller, more affordable, and more personally targeted — it reads as
