Cosmic Coven Tarot
The Cosmic Coven Tarot was created by Ripe Avocado Witch with art co-created by @llaui.setart and @thesagittariuswitch, and an 80-page guidebook written by Lillian Lazenby (The Panicking Witch). The deck was designed with explicit goals of inclusivity and accessibility — created "for those who feel like they don't belong, feel lost, or want to feel a cosmic connection with their peers." It includes 78 standard tarot cards plus a bonus "Cosmic Coven" card.

The artwork is modern, colorful, and richly illustrated with full-art cards that emphasize diversity in skin tones, body types, and gender presentations. The physical production is premium: 350gsm card stock with a linen butter finish, silver gilded edges, silver foil on the card box, and purple foil on the card backs. The style is vibrant and cosmic — think witchy meets celestial, with jewel-toned colors and mystical lighting. The art has been praised as exceeding expectations in person, with reviewers noting "the photos don't do it justice."
Core Concept & Symbolism
RWS-inspired deck with a strong emphasis on modern witchcraft and cosmic connection. The bonus 79th card — the Cosmic Coven card — serves as a reminder that "you always have a cosmic coven of witches on your side," acting as a touchstone card for community and belonging. The deck is designed as a welcoming space where representation matters, and every reader can see themselves in the imagery regardless of their background.
