Anxiety sucks a big one and talking about it is hard. Anxiety Tarot is an attempt to change that by demystifying mental illness through the popular format of Tarot. By initiating a low-stakes conversation around shared experiences between friends, acquaintances, or even strangers, Anxiety Tarot encourages empathy and connection and reminds you that you’re not alone on this death rock hurtling through space.

Each of the 52 cards in the deck corresponds to a single facet of anxiety, such as symptoms, manifestations, causes, and therapies. Each deck comes with a booklet explaining the meaning behind each card, allowing anyone to pick it up and do a reading.
