A deck that remembers what the modern world forgot
I stock a lot of tarot decks, and most of them fall into one of two camps: clinical RWS clones or heavily stylized departures that shed the traditional structure entirely. The Whispers of Time Tarot sits in a third place. Sonya Kulynyak is a Ukrainian artist and tarot reader born in 1989, and this is her debut tarot deck. Her method blends traditional acrylic painting with digital editing to produce images that read like medieval illuminated manuscripts crossed with Renaissance panel paintings. The figures are detailed, stern-faced, and clothed in period dress. The backgrounds are dark and atmospheric, with warm gold tones cutting through. There is nothing casual about the visual language here.
The deck follows the standard 78-card structure: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana divided into four suits — Wands, Cups, Pentacles, and Swords. The Court Cards carry the same medieval energy as the rest of the deck, and the card backs feature a non-reversible design with gold gilded edges that hold up without sticking together in the hand. The cardstock is notably firmer than Lo Scarabeo's typical tuck-box releases, which matters if you read regularly and shuffle hard.
What I find honest about this deck is that it commits to its world. Every card feels like it was drawn from the same era, the same palette, the same visual sensibility. The guidebook runs 128 pages in five languages and offers card-specific meanings rather than just generic keywords. For a debut deck, it shows a rare level of editorial care. If your practice responds to imagery rooted in history rather than fantasy illustration, this one earns a place in the rotation.
How to read with the Whispers of Time Tarot
A simple process for getting the most out of the Whispers of Time Tarot from your first draw onward.
-
Set your intention before you draw
Hold the deck in both hands before your first use. Breathe slowly and settle on a question or intention. You are opening a conversation with the imagery, not hunting for a single answer.
-
Draw your card and sit with the art
Shuffle until the deck feels ready, then draw one card or lay a spread. Study the medieval-style figures and dark atmospheric tones before consulting the 128-page guidebook for additional context.
-
Record and return
After your reading, note which cards felt most alive to you. Return the deck to its box. Over time, patterns in the imagery will sharpen your own intuitive language.
Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry the Whispers of Time Tarot because it is a serious debut from a working artist with a clear, consistent visual voice. Lo Scarabeo decks published through Llewellyn carry reliable print quality, and this one in particular ships in a sturdier box than their tuck-box range. I have seen enough Lo Scarabeo releases to know when a deck gets the treatment it deserves — the gilded edges on this one are clean and the cardstock handles well right out of the box.
One honest note: the card backs are non-reversible by design, so if reversed cards are central to your practice, factor that into how you work with this deck. The imagery is also dark in palette — cards with lighter tones (the Star, the Sun, the Aces) stand out beautifully against that darkness, but readers who prefer bright, airy decks may find the overall mood heavy. That is not a flaw; it is the point of the deck. If you are drawn to medieval aesthetics and want a 78-card structure with real weight to it, this is a strong choice.
