Starmaiden Tarot – Rare Psychedelic 1970s German Deck – (Sternenmädchens Wahrsagespiel)

Step into the psychedelic mysticism of the early 1970s with the Starmaiden Tarot, a visually striking and highly symbolic deck born from the avant-garde circles of German producer Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser.

Deeply influenced by the counterculture era, cosmic consciousness, and esoteric exploration, this deck embodies the spirit of a time when music, mysticism, and altered states of perception merged into a single artistic language.

Created around the enigmatic figure of “The Starmaiden” — inspired by Gille Lettmann — the deck channels celestial femininity, intuition, and higher awareness through bold, radiant imagery reminiscent of underground magazines and glam-era aesthetics. Think Bowie meets cosmic tarot.

This edition is a faithful facsimile reproduction printed in France, preserving the vivid colors and hypnotic geometry of the original 1970s Sternenmädchens Wahrsagespiel.

🪶 Collector’s Note

This deck emerges from a fascinating moment in esoteric history — where figures like Timothy Leary, psychedelic philosophy, and experimental music culture intersected with divination practices.

The Starmaiden archetype echoes the myth of Astraea, the celestial goddess of justice who ascended to the stars, symbolizing a lost golden age and the hope of its return.

A rare and evocative piece — both artifact and oracle.
