Question
Can anyone recommend any other decks that either don't feature people or don't centre them too strongly?
Answer
I'll check the relevant skills for this theory question about tarot decks.
A few well-known decks lean almost entirely on nature or pure symbolism rather than human figures:
- The Wild Unknown (Kim Krans) — animals, plants, and elemental scenes; even the courts are creatures, not people. Probably the most widely cited "people-free" deck.
- The Voyager Tarot (James Wanless) — geometric, abstract; mostly glyphs and colour fields, no figures.
- The Quantum Tarot — minimalist, symbolic; a few stylised figures but very few human-looking ones.
- The Fountain Tarot — softer abstract style; still has figures on some cards, so a step away from RWS rather than fully people-free.
Pure-symbol decks are a smaller market than figure-rich ones — Wild Unknown is the closest to a default in that niche. If you go further afield you can also find one-of-a-kind or small-press decks (found-photography collage, hand-cut lino, etc.) where the imagery is whatever the maker chooses, and those are often the easiest places to find truly human-free sets.
I can name these but can't show them here — this skill only ships one deck (RWS), so any preview you'd need to look up on the publisher's site or sellers like Llewellyn, US Games, or Lo Scarabeo.
