Everyday Tarot is a small, modern tarot deck by Brigit Esselmont with crisp purple, white, and gold artwork by Eleanor Grosch. It keeps the Rider-Waite-Smith structure, but strips the scenes down to clean symbols, bold shapes, and a very easy daily-reading mood.
If you want a pocket-sized deck for quick pulls, journaling, and learning the basic tarot system without visual overwhelm, this deck is a lovely fit. If you love richly detailed art, hidden symbols, and big cinematic card scenes, it may feel too minimal.

What Is the Everyday Tarot Deck?
Everyday Tarot is designed to make tarot feel friendly and usable, not scary or overly complicated. The kit usually includes the mini deck, a small guidebook, and a keepsake-style box. The whole presentation feels tidy and practical, which matches the deck’s main purpose: simple tarot guidance for real life.
This is not a deck that asks you to study every tiny background symbol for ten minutes. It asks a clearer question: what is the main energy here, and how can I use it today? That makes it especially helpful for one-card pulls before school, work, journaling, or a quiet evening check-in.
First impression cards
These early Major Arcana cards show the deck’s whole personality: bold silhouettes, lots of breathing room, and symbols that are easy to spot quickly.
Art Style: Purple, Gold, and Very Minimal
The artwork is the first thing most readers notice. Everyday Tarot uses a tight color palette of deep purple, white, and warm gold. The figures often have simple faces or no facial detail at all. Trees, cups, swords, coins, and bodies become clean symbolic shapes rather than painterly scenes.
That minimalism is the deck’s charm and its limit. For beginners, it removes clutter. You can see the big idea of the card fast. For advanced readers, the lack of small scenic details can feel a little plain, especially if you like reading body language, landscape, weather, and background symbols.
How Everyday Tarot Reads
Everyday Tarot reads best when you keep the question practical. It is excellent for “What do I need to notice today?”, “What is the next right step?”, “What pattern am I repeating?”, or “What energy helps me handle this situation?”
Because the images are clean, the deck encourages direct interpretation. The cards do not shout. They point. In a reading, that can feel refreshing: The Chariot says choose your direction; Justice says be honest about cause and effect; The Hermit says give yourself enough quiet to hear your own wisdom.

The Chariot: choosing a direction instead of waiting for a perfect mood
In this deck, The Chariot feels focused and uncluttered. For a daily reading, I would not jump straight to “victory.” I would ask: where are you letting two different wants pull the reins?
For example, if you want to rest but also need to finish a project, this card says to choose a clear route. Make a small plan, remove one distraction, and move with intention. The magic is not force; it is alignment.
Beginner Friendliness
Everyday Tarot is beginner-friendly because it follows the familiar Rider-Waite-Smith order and names. The guidebook is simple, the card titles are clear, and the deck does not bury new readers under too much visual information.
The one caution: because the scenes are so reduced, you may still want a fuller tarot book or a classic RWS deck beside you while learning. Everyday Tarot is wonderful for practice, but it may not teach every symbolic layer by itself.
Easy, Medium, and Hard Reading Examples
Easy example: “What energy helps me today?”
If you pull Strength, keep the message simple: respond gently, not dramatically. This can mean breathing before you reply, being patient with your body, or choosing courage without turning the day into a battle.
Medium example: “Why does this choice feel stuck?”
If you pull 2 of Swords, the deck points to a decision you may be avoiding because both options have a cost. Instead of asking “which option is perfect?”, ask “which option is more honest with my real needs?”
Hard example: “What pattern am I ready to end?”
If you pull Death, Everyday Tarot keeps the card clean and non-sensational. The message is not doom. It is closure. Something has finished its season, and holding it too tightly may be draining energy that wants to become something new.
Choice and movement
These cards are useful for questions about decisions, self-control, fairness, and the quiet discipline of doing what you already know is right.
Best Uses for Everyday Tarot
- Daily one-card pulls: the deck is fast, clear, and not visually exhausting.
- Tarot journaling: the simple images leave room for your own notes and feelings.
- Beginner practice: it follows a familiar system without making the cards look intimidating.
- Travel readings: the small kit is easy to carry and use on a small table.
- Quick clarity spreads: three-card past-present-next-step readings work especially well.

Ace of Wands: the tiny spark before the big plan
The Ace of Wands is one of the easiest cards to understand in Everyday Tarot because the design keeps the idea sharp: here is a spark. Do not smother it by demanding the full map right away.
In a creative question, this card can say, “start the first version.” Write the outline, send the message, sketch the idea, or light the candle. Momentum begins small.
What to Know Before Buying
Check the size before you buy. Many Everyday Tarot kits are mini or pocket-style, which is wonderful for travel but not ideal if you prefer large cards. The compact guidebook is also intentionally brief. It gives you enough to start, but it is not a deep tarot textbook.
The deck’s minimal art is another personal preference point. Some readers adore the clean design because it feels modern and calm. Others miss the emotional storytelling of busier decks. If you want a deck that feels like a simple daily tool, Everyday Tarot shines. If you want lush fantasy scenes, choose something more detailed.
Everyday emotional weather
The Cups cards show how this deck handles feeling: simple enough for beginners, but still useful for asking what your heart is actually doing.
Best Reading Tip
Use Everyday Tarot for clear, grounded questions. Do not ask it to perform like a giant occult encyclopedia. Ask it what the next honest step is, then listen for the simple answer.
My favorite way to use this deck is a three-line journal pull: Card, Message, Action. Pull one card, write the plain message in one sentence, then write one action you can take today. That keeps the reading practical instead of floating away into vague mystical fog.
Card Case Studies: How the Deck Speaks in Real Readings
Here are a few examples of how I would read Everyday Tarot cards in normal life situations. Notice that the meanings stay practical and kind. Tarot is not here to frighten you; it is here to help you notice patterns.

4 of Pentacles: safety, control, and the fear of loosening your grip
In a money or work question, the 4 of Pentacles can show healthy caution. It can also show the moment when caution becomes clenching.
Everyday Tarot’s simple style makes the message feel very direct: protect what matters, but do not let fear make every choice for you. A good follow-up question is, “What can I share, spend, or release safely?”
Work, money, and grounded choices
The Pentacles cards are especially readable in this deck because the symbols stay clean: start small, protect wisely, share fairly, and build something stable.
Final Thoughts: Is Everyday Tarot Worth It?
Everyday Tarot is worth it if you want a modern, portable, beginner-friendly tarot deck for daily clarity. It is not the most detailed deck on the shelf, and it is not trying to be. Its strength is that it makes tarot feel usable.
I would recommend it for new readers, journal lovers, busy people, and anyone who wants a gentle deck for quick check-ins. I would be more cautious if you only enjoy large cards, ornate artwork, or guidebooks with deep symbolic essays.
For me, Everyday Tarot is a “small deck, clear voice” kind of tool. Keep it near your journal, ask honest questions, and let the cards turn your attention toward the next right step.
