This criteria eliminated most modern occultists, such as [[Anton Szandor LaVey]] and [[Damien Echols]]. It also prevented the glorification of serial killers like David Berkowitz or Richard Ramirez, both of whom claimed to have killed under [[Satan|Satanic]] influences.

==Content==
Magicians, Martyrs, and Madmen Tarot is laid out like a traditional Tarot deck, with a [[Major Arcana]] and fully illustrated [[Minor Arcana]] cards. The only deviation from the traditional Tarot system is that this deck contains three different cards for [[The Lovers]]. These three variant cards were included to better emphasise the potential forms of love between two people.
 
* Male-Female Lovers: [[Eva Perón]] & Juan Perón
* Female-Female Lovers: Eva Carrière & Juliette Bisson
* Male-Male Lovers: Saints Sergius and Bacchus
 
==Publication history==
The first edition of the deck was published by [[Bloodstone Studios]] in July 2022 through a successful Kickstarter campaign which raised $39,000. The rights were quickly acquired by [[Rockpool Publishing]] and a mass market edition was released in September 2023.
