DIVINE BIEDERMEIER TAROT.

The Biedermeier Tarot was born from the so-called Biedermeier period (1812 – 1848), which marks the beginning of industrialisation and the re-discovery of ancient Greece. The admiration of Greek sculpture, Greek pottery, paintings, architecture, the foundation for Roman architecture. However, a high proportion of Greek art and other works are only known through Roman-made copies, while Roman buildings have also significantly outlived Greek structures. To know Roman art is, therefore, is to know Greek art. The Biedermeier period proceeded into Art Deco times. The Biedermeier period admiration of Greek art is superior, leading to the idea of the European Super Man.

What is the connection between fortune and misfortune?

The Twin Gates of Tyche.

A Reflection on Fortune and Misfortune

In the ancient stillness of a garden wall, a woman stands—elegant, serene, and timeless. She is Tyche, Fortuna, Lady of the Threshold. But she is not only the giver of Fortune—she is also the silent guide of Misfortune. Her role is not to judge, but to reveal. She does not command the path—you do.

Each card holds a mirror to the other.

On the left, the gate opens to a verdant world. Green leaves sway gently, rivers sing of peace, and the narrow path ahead is dappled in golden light. This is not just Fortune—it is earned clarity. It is the reward of turning inward, of aligning soul and mind, of understanding that contentment is not given, but grown. The Horn of Plenty here is not overflowing with gold, but with serenity, beauty, and purpose.

On the right, the mirror darkens. The woman turns to face the other gate—twisted earth, fire crackling through the dry wind, and a towering shape looming ahead. This is Misfortune—not as punishment, but as a consequence. It is the road we forge when ego reigns, when the hunger for more silences the whisper of balance. The flames are not wrathful—they are warnings. The mountain is not the enemy—it is our own shadow made solid.

Yet in both images, Tyche remains the same.
Eyes covered—not in blindness, but in impartiality.
One hand resting near the gate, the other near the self.
The paths may differ, but the guide is always present.
And most importantly: the choice is always yours.
