ABOUT

A Secret

I have a secret for you: Anyone can read tarot. You do not need special powers, years of study, or a perfect memory to understand the cards. Despite what many people believe, tarot is not reserved for experts. The most important things you need, are already yours – an open mind, intuition, and the ability to reflect honestly.

Traditional tarot can sometimes feel overwhelming. Endless guidebooks, memorising meanings, searching online for answers… it can turn something intuitive into homework.

That is exactly why Tarot Unmasked was designed differently.

The meanings are built directly into the cards so, you can focus on your question instead of flipping through pages trying to decode symbols. Zero homework, zero gatekeeping. Just guidance that feels clear, approachable, and easy to use.

While professional readers can offer incredible insight, no one knows your life more intimately than you do. A stranger, or even AI, can only interpret the information they are given. But you already carry the full context of your experiences, emotions, relationships, and instincts. These cards are simply a tool to help you hear your own inner voice more clearly.

You do not need permission to begin.
You do not need to wait until you feel “ready.”
You already are.

So, what exactly IS tarot?

Believe it or not, it didn’t start as something mysterious. Back in the 15th century in Italy, Tarot was actually just a card game! But over time, people realised these cards were much more than just a form of entertainment. That's when tarot started to be used as a spiritual map to help navigate the twists and turns of life.

In 1909, a man named Arthur Edward Waite and an artist, Pamela Colman Smith created a famous deck that changed everything. Most of the Tarot cards you see today are based on their designs. In fact, their ideas were the blueprint I used to create this beautiful deck.

But how does it actually work? Rachel Pollack – one of the world’s most famous tarot experts – explained it best. She said, Tarot taps into three layers of your mind:
• The Conscious: This is the "waking" you. It’s the part of your brain that asks questions and tries to solve problems.
• The Subconscious: This is like the basement of your mind. It’s where your deep emotions, memories, and dreams live.
• The Unconscious: This is your soul or intuition. It’s the part of you that is connected to the energy of everyone and everything in the world!
Tarot is like a window that lets all three layers talk to each other at the same time. When you pull a card, you are not unlocking a fixed destiny. You are creating a moment of reflection where your thoughts, emotions, intuition, and current circumstances can all speak to each other at once.

That is why Tarot can feel intimate, and surprisingly accurate. Tarot is - arguably - the most underrated form of self-care. It's a quiet pause in the middle of noise; A moment to check in with yourself honestly, reflect on what you are feeling, and reconnect with your inner voice instead of constantly looking outward for answers.

Wondering whether it can predict your future? Well, think of a Tarot reading like a weather forecast. If the weatherman says it looks cloudy, he’s saying the likelihood of rain is extremely high, but it’s not a 100% guarantee. Tarot shows you possibilities, not 'rules' that can’t be changed.

This is where your free-will comes in. You are the boss of your own life! Even if the cards show a path that looks a bit bumpy, you have the power to change direction. If the cards suggest you might be upset tomorrow, that isn't written in stone. You get to decide how you react to news and what choices you make next.

Simply put: Tarot doesn’t tell you exactly what will happen; it helps you see what could happen, so you can decide what to do.

A New Generation of Tarot

Clear. Considered. Complete.

Traditional tarot decks often require beginners to constantly refer to guidebooks – searching for meanings, or memorise complex symbolism – before they can confidently read the cards.

Tarot Unmasked was designed differently.

About The Founder

Tarot Unmasked was created by a lifelong creative whose work has always centred around storytelling, emotion, and human insight.

Before creating Tarot Unmasked, Neelu Sarkar spent nearly a decade working as a professional makeup artist in the Bollywood film & TV industry, an experience that shaped her understanding of visual language, transformation, detail, and emotional expression.

She later transitioned back into writing – she had always been prone to devour literature and form her own in her formative years – independently publishing a self-improvement book, before moving into fiction. Her work now focuses primarily on romance and fantasy fiction, where character psychology, symbolism, emotional tension, and intuitive storytelling remain central themes.

Tarot eventually re-entered her life through a personal frustration shared by many beginners: traditional decks often felt unnecessarily difficult to approach. Endless guidebooks, memorisation, and inaccessible presentation created distance between the reader, and the cards themselves.

Tarot Unmasked was created to change that. Combining intuitive usability with refined visual design, the deck was built to make tarot feel clearer, more approachable, and more engaging without sacrificing depth or beauty.

The result is a deck designed not only to be admired, but to be understood.
