I ran a couples workshop last spring using the Next World Tarot because its bodies, bedrooms, and streetwear feel current, not like marble statues. It went really well. We used a ‘Desire Dialogue’ spread (Spark, Soft Limits, Shared Fantasy, Afterglow) and the imagery gave us language for consent and pleasure that didn’t feel old-fashioned or coy.
Quick tarot tip: the Devil will try to steal the mic, park them in the ‘Soft Limits’ seat and let Strength handle negotiations. Also, the Knight of Wands will definitely talk you into texting at midnight, so set your do-not-disturb first. If you want to dial up explicitness, I’ve had success layering the tarot with an indie NSFW photo-oracle from Etsy. Pull one oracle image to set tone, then let the tarot do the complex work. It kept everything sex-positive, contemporary, and real without sliding into camp or cringe.
