TheDivergentArcana
A 78-card tarot deck. Every card keeps its Rider-Waite-Smith structure, so maybe you'll recognise it if you already read tarot. What changes is the vibe: each card is read through how attention, sensation and feeling actually move in a neurodivergent life.
Made by an AuDHD person, for AuDHD people.

How to read this deck
The cards don't tell you who you are or what's wrong. They show where you're standing and how it feels to stand there. Read them slowly. Notice what speaks to you and leave the rest.
The Major Arcana
The big territory you're in. Each of the 22 names the patterns it tends to touch, like Masking, Recovery or Demand Pressure. These are directions to look, never labels.
The Minor Arcana
How that territory is lived day to day. The suit tells you the kind of energy. The number tells you where it is in its cycle.
Reversed cards
A reversal is friction or distortion in the card's energy. It is never a verdict on you. If you'd rather not use them, leave the toggle off.
Five questions a card
Every card carries one main question and four more through an AuDHD lens: attention, senses, feeling and energy. Pick the one that snags. You don't need to answer them all.
Look closely
Every card hides details that reward a second look. Under each meaning there's a short list of what to look for, so the art and the reading can meet.
What the numbers carry
All 78 cards
Two ways to lay them out
One card, any day
Pull one card and read only its question. Carry it with you. It's fine if the answer turns up later, or not at all.
Territory, texture, next
- Territory. What kind of ground am I on right now?
- Texture. How is it actually feeling, day to day?
- Next. What's one small move that fits my capacity?
