Maria's Gate Tarot
Number of Cards: 78
Recommendation: Upright and Reversed
Maria's Gate follows the personal growth of a young girl as its central narrative, portraying her journey through stages of development. It is an adventure of becoming, a process of return, and an odyssey of personal meaning. Fragmented, cinematic scenes are used as the visual medium to depict her growth.
From the initial departure and the awakening of inner spirituality, the story moves into the girl's trials—where, through various situations, she confronts darkness and collides with reality, gaining insight and strength. What follows is a period of deep accumulation, culminating in her crossing the darkest inner river (a turning point marked by the Hanged Man), leading to transformation, purification, and rebirth of the soul. After the moment of Judgement, she ultimately achieves a complete return.
At the moment of birth, every human already possesses a sense of wholeness. Yet, through the process of growing up—of being evaluated and observed within one's environment—one is compelled to gradually rediscover and reclaim that completeness. Thus, this deck represents both a journey of growth through real-world encounters and collisions, like the Iliad, and a homecoming of the self, like the Odyssey.
