Black Violet Tarot
Black Violet Tarot will shine light in times of darkness.
With their dramatic Art Nouveau style, the 80 exquisite cards of the Black Violet Tarot are designed to spark inspiration for art and self-expression. Use this tarot as a tool to reflect on what is and dream about what could be – whatever your creative endeavor. With a women-led take on Rider-Waite-Smith, this deck will help you reflect on any aspect of life – joyful or painful, meaningful or mundane – in order to tap into your creativity and artistic voice.
Throughout history, art and folklore, violets have represented life and fertility, death and remembrance – a striking contrast of joy versus grief, beginning versus end and future versus memory. The Black Violet Tarot reflects this idea of bittersweet dualities – of shining a light in times of darkness.

FOUR of WANDS – Harmony, celebration, stabilityThe Four of Wands represents security and stability, returning you to familiar ground to celebrate your accomplishments with the people you love and trust the most. You’ve worked hard – struggled, even – and all that work is finally paying off in tangible ways. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and take pride that you’ve gotten yourself to this place. Representing growth and expansion, this card depicts two sets of twins to illustrate the idea of doubling or multiplying. You’ve come a long way and have worked tirelessly to build something out of nothing. Take the time to celebrate your accomplishments before continuing on your journey. |
The Fool – Trust, hope, infinite potentialThe Fool is card 0 in the deck, a number of infinite potential and fresh beginnings. She sets out on a new path, hopeful and unafraid of what’s to come – partly because she’s brave, and partly because she doesn’t have enough experience yet to know what potential challenges lie ahead of her. This card embodies an endearing innocence and naiveté as she looks up to the sky, full of hopes and daydreams, blissfully unaware (or maybe uninterested?) in the fact that she’s standing on the edge of a cliff, about to plunge into unknown territory. The Fool indicates you’re on the brink of starting a different journey in your life such as a project, move, or new job or relationship, and encourages you to move forward to see where it will take you. |
Three of Cups – Sisterhood, solidarity, friendshipThe Three of Cups celebrates women who support one another to celebrate each other’s successes. It’s a card of collaboration, of working together toward a common goal and toasting their achievements. This card is for friends who pick each other up when someone is down, and indicates a time when you’re surrounded by people who love you and want nothing but the best for you and them. The card depicts three women raising their cups in unity, symbolizing sisterhood, solidarity, and friendship. It embodies the essence of joyful connections, shared experiences, and a deep sense of camaraderie. There is strength to be gained from surrounding yourself with individuals who uplift your spirit and celebrate your victories. |
Using the Black Violet Tarot cards
There are so many spreads to choose from when you’re starting to learn tarot, or even for seasoned readers. I could include the ubiquitous Celtic Cross or a typical three-card past/present/future spread, which I love and use all the time, but I thought it would be more useful to craft some of my own. The spreads outlined below are not necessarily conventional, but I hope they can provide some insight. They are designed to help you navigate through daily life, spark creative inspiration, and work through creative projects. As always, take what you like and leave the rest.
