what is this project?

bts tarot is a deck of bangtan-themed illustrated playing cards, spanning the five suits of tarot: the four minor arcana and the major arcana. kind of like a zine, but cards instead of pages! the final result will be a deck of 78 tarot cards, a guidebook explaining the meaning behind the cards, and of course merch!
