The Gorgon's Tarot
A round, black-and-white Tarot deck that challenges convention—unapologetically feminine, fiercely imaginative, and unlike anything else on your shelf.
The Gorgon’s Tarot by Dolores Fitchie is a 79-card circular deck designed as a visual tool for reflection, not prediction. Created over the course of a decade, it offers a stark, symbolic alternative to conventional Tarot, blending traditional archetypes with dry wit, feminist spirit, and animal companions that act as familiars, witnesses, and occasional bodyguards.
The deck features bold black-and-white illustrations with two restrained splashes of color. At its center is The Blind Gorgon—an unnumbered card that can function as a wildcard, significator, or atmosphere-setter.
Some cards align with tradition; others stray. The round shape introduces a new kind of reading: orientation and tilt suggest motion, hesitation, or inversion—adding dimension where standard decks offer polarity.
- 79 round cards, including The Blind Gorgon wildcard
- 5 5/8” circular cards with black-and-white artwork and minimal color
- Companion guidebook with narrative interpretations and reversed meanings
- Suitable for intuitive, reflective, or story-based readings
- Ideal for readers drawn to symbol, contrast, and visual thinking
This is Tarot stripped of illusion. Visual. Unruly. Personal. A tool for inquiry—for those who make up their own minds.
