The Modern Arcana

Twenty-two major arcana, rebuilt for the life you actually live. The Intern, the Doomscroller, the Outage, the Touch Grass. Same old archetypes, new disguises. It reads the absurd present back to you, sometimes kindly, sometimes not.

Flip a card for its upright and reversed line. Pull one a day if you want a ritual that fits in a coffee break.
