About Mermaid Type Tarot The Mermaid Type Tarot and the PARTY Edition are inspired by the beauty of material nature, relationships, and depth psychology. The deck is a collection of 78 artworks that include photos, sculptures, paintings, digital art, and drawings. The artwork was created during a three year period. The complete type set has numbers 0-9, uppercase and lowercase a-z, and basic punctuation. The PARTY Edition features full artwork while the original deck hides some images in the letter and number silhouettes. Tarot has five suites, and they are divided into four minor arcana and one major arcana. The guidebook offers suggested interpretations and instructions. Interpreting tarot cards is a creative form of reading, self-reflection, and entertainment. As you look at each card, any element can potentially spark meaning. A color, for example, can be read as blue water in the ocean or blue air in the sky. The goal is to find what feels right to you. Many people use tarot to go deeper into their own psyche and enjoy the practice of sharing their Truth together with this popular tool. Everything you need is already inside, but intuitive sparks ignite from the images, facial expressions, postures, colors, and materials present in tarot cards. The practice is to activate your imagination and gain insight with subtle energy signals through color, symbol, and pure intention. Explore and identify ideas about your past, present, and future. Reflect assimilate and integrate associations with the frequency of colors and the whispers of the mermaid language. Remember your associations with numbers and letters and watch for patterns of information. This is about knowing your Truth. I encourage you to follow your intuition and research on what inspires you to want to learn more. You can follow Mermaid Type Tarot on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. I have recommended resources and virtual workshops on my website if you would like to explore it in more detail.

Tarot and the individual Do you know who you are? If you seek to know who you are, tarot is a tool to help you on a psychological journey of individuation. The word individuation comes from Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. It means to become an ‘in-dividual,’ and to embrace incomparable uniqueness. Individuation is about ‘coming into selfhood’ or ‘self-realization.’ In this sense, the Self needs a capital S as it resembles a wholeness that is like the concept of God. All people travel the road of Self-discovery and individuation, and each path is unique. I can share with you some of my journey. My first encounter with tarot happened in college, around 2002. Inspired by a class project with Carl Jung’s book, Man and His Symbols, I memorized the tarot cards and started reading fortunes. Within a year, I was reading regularly at house parties and special events. I love reading cards because it is emotionally and creatively magical for myself and others.
A tarot reading can reveal secrets and offer meaningful insights. Success is about discovering many new and desirable possibilities, not about having to find one right answer. In addition to this guidebook, other knowledge traditions such as astrology, Wicca, and numerology can be useful when reading cards. Calendar dates can be significant because of their connection to events. For example, one memorable event is a day we are born. Imagine you pull a card with the number 17 on it, and you were born on the 17th. How might this card reading be something extra special for you? Names are also meaningful. If I pull an M card from the deck, I might associate it with myself, Mitra, or mythology. It’s in the power of the individual to make meaning. My name comes from ancient mythology. The Mitra-Veruna twin deities are individual yet complementary as solar-lunar deities. The day is of Mitra, and the night is of Varuna. My name calls attention to the deeper pattern in my creative life purpose. I have a drive for balancing and uniting opposing forces.

The Mermaid Type is a balance of my artistic strengths and vulnerabilities as a dyslexic person. Mermaids are powerful in their watery element. However, out of their element, they are immobilized. Likewise, my experience with words is one of extremes, something many people can relate to. This tarot deck has letters that are alive. They move and dance as you look within to read the cards. Finding balance is an art that all people must learn. The challenge of creative individuals living today is to balance. Over the years of reading, I noticed how many people come to tarot with questions about love and relationships. I struggle to keep a healthy balance in my close relationships too. One day, while talking to my then-boyfriend about mermaid sightings, I found an old black and white print of a mermaid couple that seemed to be arguing online. The image captured my attention, and I decided to work with the image in my art. I was in a depth psychology MA program at the time and wanted to try a therapeutic technique called, sticking to the image. I understand that when people are stuck in limiting patterns, it can be helpful to expand the vision with this method. I started by drawing the same mermaid couple in different letter shapes, and more diversity emerged as the alphabet developed into numbers and special characters. Mermaid Type is my image of balance, interconnection, and wholeness. I see this deck as a holographic image with repeating patters from the micro to macro level. Each letter card is a complete character, and together they make a language tool open to infinite possibility. When I finished the font set in late 2019, I suddenly realized that the art should be a tarot deck. Mermaids come from myths, and myths are stories that help individuals and cultures orient themselves to the requirements of life. Myths are a record of humanity’s spiritual heritage, and they have inspired all the great religions and cultural world views. They can speak to the soul and can help us expand our life experience. I believe these mermaids have new stories to tell and that they want to collaborate with you. It is my sincere wish that this tarot deck is a tool to help you balance and explore infinite possibilities. Thank you to all who supported the first edition print of the Mermaid Type Tarot project and that is you too! - Mitra

About the Author/Artist Mitra Cline is an interdisciplinary artist inspired by psychology, dreams, and world culture. Because her home burned in a California wildfire, she knows the value of a resilient and playful spirit. Her Mermaid Type Tarot deck aims to inspire Self-discovery. Mitra earned her MA in Humanities with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and her BFA with a focus in painting from the Kansas City Art Institute. She is the founder of Foreverbird Studio. “I am finding a unique path in this creative life, which includes a studio art practice, teaching, public art, and commercial design projects. My art speaks to people living in a global culture who value their psychic wisdom. Together we can create heaven on earth. I invite you on a journey of Self-discovery to find more things to love with Mermaid Type Tarot. The cards were created to open doorways into the unconscious mind, and it’s vital life energy.” – Mitra Cline
