Fascism Tarot Deck

$40.00

20-piece art card deck, showing the early warning signs of fascism. Buy a deck. Pull a card. Fight for democracy.

How This Deck Was Made: An old tarot deck was used as the substrate for collage, paint, gesso, and inks. Images were sourced from vintage materials and tea-stained papers. Letters were hand stamped with vintage type from American Type Founders in Goudy Oldstyle 24 point.

Inspiration and Resources: This deck is inspired by current events, editorials, books, history, and art movements. Influences include:

  • "Fascism Anyone?" by Laurence W. Britt

  • "Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism" by Rachel Maddow

  • "Fascism: A Warning" by Madeleine K. Albright

  • "How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them" by Jason F. Stanley

  • "Image Control: Art, Fascism, and the Right to Resist" by Patrick Nathan

  • "Sexual Revolution: Modern Fascism and the Feminist Fightback" by Laurie Penny

  • "Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving the Apocalypse" by Shane Burley

Thank you to graphic designer Joanne Frances DeWald for her collaboration and formatting.

How To Use This Deck: Pull a card and reflect on the depicted warning sign. Use these cards to foster discussion, spread awareness, and inspire action against the rise of fascism.

Support Democracy: By purchasing the Fascism Tarot Deck, you not only acquire a unique piece of art but also support a greater cause. 25% of sales will be split evenly between Oath.Vote and Fair Fight Action, organizations dedicated to pro-democracy and voting rights efforts.
