Tarot cards specifically for gay men

Many people associate tarot cards with carnies in sideshows that could spin a tale of destiny for a hefty sum. Like crystal balls and tea leaves, the magic of tarot cards comes from the seer’s ability to connect the symbolism spread out before them to the needs of the client.

Now there’s a deck of cards specifically designed to see into the lives of gay men.

Lo Scarabeo, a trusted publisher of tarot cards, has put out the Gay Tarot deck to help unfurl the destiny of every homo with a burning question.

Each card is illustrated with hunky men sitting in for the usual gothic images of the major and minor arcana. The symbolism in each card is still there but it’s updated to reflect modern gay life.
