The Pasta Tarot is a contemporary, playful interpretation of tarot that combines pasta, pop culture and Italian-American tradition in a 78-card deck with an accompanying pamphlet. The publisher describes it as a deck for readers of all experience levels, as well as people who simply enjoy pasta.
Instead of Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles, the deck uses Corta (short pasta), Ripiena (stuffed pasta), Lunga (long pasta) and Minuta (tiny pasta), representing 56 types of pasta. Its Major Arcana features pop-culture references and depictions of chosen family, drag queens and iconic divas.
The publisher credits Jeff Petriello and Rob Truglia as the authors and Lindsay Mound as the illustrator, and says the deck is rooted in the authors’ queer Italian-American identities. The publisher suggests drawing cards to choose a dish for a dinner party, share an introspective reading with a friend or set a daily intention. The publisher identifies Clarkson Potter as the deck’s publisher.
At the time of the supplied official-site listing, the deck was priced at $22 and described as shipping worldwide through online shops.
