Magdalena Piech

Bitter Moon Tarot reimagines the timeless art of tarot, blending tradition with an intuitive, unconventional vision. Inspired by the structure of the Rider–Waite deck, it departs from convention through eclectic, unpredictable imagery born from the artist’s impulses. Rejecting the concept of “reversals,” each card embodies both light and shadow, reflecting the duality of human experience.

Rather than predicting the future, the deck offers guidance in the present, encouraging self-reflection and trust in one’s inner voice. The meaning of each card shifts with its context in a spread, creating a nuanced tapestry of insight. Bitter Moon Tarot invites its users on a journey of self-discovery, embracing the full spectrum of earthly and spiritual experience while unlocking the depths of the psyche and the mysteries of the universe.

My contribution to Occulture 2025 is an exhibition of selected original card drawings from Bitter Moon Tarot- first time showing outside of my studio.

Magdalena Piech is a fine artist based in Berlin. Her primary focus is creating imagery based on self-portraiture, fetishism, identity, sadomasochism and symbology.
