We Want to Get Mystical with Ben Gore’s Awesome Hip Hop Tarot Card Deck

You don’t have to be mystic to get into Ben Gore‘s Hip Hop Tarot, but something makes me think this just might be the unsuspecting gateway I’ve been waiting for… not least of all because music is about as close as I personally can get to having a “spiritual” experience.

UK illustrator Gore’s second edition deck of hip hop-inspired Tarot cards is equal parts beautiful, cheeky and practical. It includes all 22 of the Major Arcana Tarot cards, featuring a range of rappers in place of the card’s typical characters, like “The Empress” Eve and 2Pac as the “Death” card. Score your deck here and check out more of Gore’s work via @basedgore.
