The Wild Unknown Tarot
Kim Krans is not only a vanguard of the new tarot movement, but the person who is redefining it for the twenty-first century. For a legion of contemporary seekers, The Wild Unknown is more than a tarot deck; it’s become a resonant guide for people all over the world, inspiring them to share countless images of their readings, tattoos, and art prints from the deck.
Each of the seventy-eight cards in Krans’s Wild Unknown tarot deck is a work of art that explores the mysteries of the natural world and the animal kingdom. Hand drawn in her spare, minimalistic style, the striking images invite deep contemplation. Her Wild Unknown guidebook is also an extraordinary cult art object—a hand-lettered and fully illustrated primer that leads readers through shuffling and cutting the tarot, creating spreads, and interpretations of all seventy-eight individual cards.

Connecting with Your Deck: Before your first reading, spend a few minutes looking through all seventy-eight cards to familiarize yourself with the imagery. To shuffle, choose the method that feels most comfortable — overhand shuffling works well for most people and is gentle on the cards, while a simple cut (dividing the deck into two or three piles and restacking them) is a quick alternative. Riffle shuffling is effective but can bend cards over time, so handle the deck with care.
Daily Single-Card Draw: Pull one card each morning and take a moment to look at the image before consulting the guidebook. Consider what the card might be pointing to in your day — a challenge, an opportunity, or something worth paying attention to. This is one of the most straightforward ways to build familiarity with the deck over time.
Three-Card Spread: Shuffle the deck, then draw three cards and place them left to right. The first card represents past influences, the second reflects the current situation, and the third points to a likely outcome or future energy. Read each card individually, then consider how the three connect as a whole.
Journaling Tip: Keep a dedicated notebook for your pulls. Write down the card name, the date, and your immediate impressions before looking anything up. Over time, your notes will reveal patterns and help you develop a personal relationship with the deck's imagery.
Beginner Tip: The included guidebook by Kim Krans is a thorough and approachable resource — use it as a starting point for card meanings, but don't feel locked into any single interpretation. Your own reaction to an image is always valid and worth noting.
Storage Tip: Store the deck in its original box or a fabric pouch to protect the cards from bending, dust, and moisture. Keeping the guidebook with the deck ensures it's always on hand when you need it.
