The H.P. Lovecraft Tarot is an unique version of the standard 78-card Tarot deck created and self-published by Daryl L. Hutchinson.
The Lovecraft Tarot deck contains 78 cards. These cards correspond to the Major and Minor Arcana of the traditional tarot.
The Minor Arcana ("suits") of The H.P. Lovecraft Tarot are the Suits of Man, Artifacts, Tomes & Sites. These replace the traditional wands, pentacles, swords and cups of the "normal" Tarot variants.
The Major Arcana or Trumps have all been replaced by Great Old Ones, creatures and characters from the works of H.P. Lovecraft & other authors of the Cthulhu Mythos. All the artwork is by the creator, artist Hutchinson. An absolute labour of love, these cards a sight to behold in real life.
