Susanna Salo: Kalevala Tarot #44

Susanna Salo was looking for a deck of Tarot cards inspired by Finnish mythology, but could not find one. So she decided to make one herself.

More than a decade later, close to the global relaunch of the English version of her mesmerizing and dreamlike deck, we were lucky enough to get to speak to her In the Borderlands. About the creative process, being inspired by dreams, following the inner voice, how the mythology of Kalevala blended with the Tarot system to create something entirely new, and of deep listening.

We even get to draw a few cards!

Susanna’s Tarot is called Ukon Pakka Tarot in Finnish and Mytologia Fennica Tarot in English. The English Tarot will have a global re-release in 2024.
