Etoile Rana Tarot – Hand-Painted Pastel Majors – (2001) – EXTREMELY RARE

One of the most elusive French independent tarots, Le Tarot Divinatoire de l’Étoile Rana was created and illustrated by Mavi Boiano, who entirely hand-painted the artwork in soft pastels before its limited publication. This unique Major Arcana deck blends surreal symbolism, esoteric references, and expressive dreamlike imagery — resulting in one of the most unusual tarot creations of early 2000s France.

The deck includes 22 Major Arcana + 1 extra card, with bilingual titles (French/English). Each card is printed on thick stock with square corners, preserving the “art print” feeling of the original drawings. The set also comes with a French instruction booklet explaining meanings and spreads.

This edition — produced in very small quantities around 2001 — is now extremely difficult to find, especially sealed.

🪶 Collector’s Note

“The Étoile Rana deck was released in an extremely small, almost artisanal print run. Very few copies survived, and sealed sets are nearly unheard of today. Its hand-painted pastel artwork and bilingual presentation make it a unique piece in the world of French indie tarots — a treasure for collectors of rare, unconventional, or artist-crafted decks.”
