r/TarotDecks

Not including Modern Witch and The Antique Anatomy Tarot which I hid in a box, and forgot where they are, because I live with a Christian who doesn't tolerate such things.

I am very proud of my collection because reading tarot is a serious part of my spiritual practice and I am even starting to delve into cartomancy and have at least one Lenormand deck (to the left of Deviant Moon). Even though I've dabbled in tarot for years I consider myself a beginner still. I use RWS to study and I hope to get a traditional Marseilles deck to do the same. They have really helped my intuition, improved my relationship with Spirit which, in accordance with therapy, is healing the way I think about myself.

The decks I want most urgently are:

Tenebrae Tarot

True Black

Terra Volatile

The Matronua

I purchased a deck on Etsy long ago now in 2020 before AI takeover, that I have since given away. I am trying to find it again though, but cannot for the life of me remember the name of it or find it searching on “Etsy” for this Indie Deck!

It was black satin-y cardstock with hand drawn, semi thick, kind of crude or doodle-like, white line drawings. Lots of little hand drawn stars, reeds, wooden docks. The Hanged Man was a vintage geared up scuba diver upside down underwater. The suits were Branches, Vessels, Stones, and Arrows. It was gilded in silver.

I still have the cloth from it but nothing comes up on a reverse image search.

This is all I can kind of remember about it.

Does anyone know what deck I am talking about?!?!

edit: I deleted that etsy account so I can’t check my order history, I also scoured my purchases in my email and cannot find it. le sigh

edit: it’s not tarot celestio or the wanderers tarot

My deck It combines African spirituality with psychedelic and colorful elements. It’s designed to help you connect with your higher self, intuition, and ancestors.

It’s not out yet, but I have a mailing list you can join to be the first to know when it drops! 💌

I had an awesome time at the Morgan Library a few weeks ago. Awe is too weak a word for what I was feeling seeing work from the Lady Frieda Harris and Pamela Colman Smith. They truly did an excellent job of curating and displaying so much amazing information.

These pics show my artwork from the Somnambulant Tarot contrasted with Lady Frieda Harris's work on the Thoth deck.
I must say seeing the Thoth image at their original size really changes the perspective. You can see so many details and elements that may get lost on the smaller cards. My Thoth is standard tarot sized, but if I ever pick up another copy, Ill have to go jumbo. There is just too much to see.

If you can manage it, definitely make the trip to NYC's The Morgan Library. They even have complementary friday visits, you just need to register your ticket in advance.

This was my first ever made tarot deck✨️. Each card was hand drawn digitally, this took months of work but it's still something im super proud of. The deck itself is inspired by my little fawn pug Mabel 💖. I tried to embody her little personality in each card by the way she sits, as I wanted the cards to hold a connection to each other I didn't change this pose much...In each card I introduced things to her surroundings that fit the overall card theme. #tarot #pug #design #handmade #cards

I'm already obsessed with her lolol. I now am craving the original version ( even if scalped to hell and back and over 90+$/€). I have the app for the guide :). Definitely recommend.

Hi! 👋✨ My name is Rue, I am an artist of mysticism, art researcher and the co-creator of a new tarot system. Happy to be here. I wanted to ask if I could share and talk about the Tarot deck I created in this space.

It’s called Tarot Dunay-Vekov, a Tarot for exploring human emotions, where the classical Arcana are transformed into feelings:
🌀 The Fool → Curiosity
🌍 The World → Satisfaction
I was inspired by Rider-Waite-Smith, Thoth, Marseille, and Visconti, Manara, as well as alchemy and Kabbalah. ✨
The deck has a distinctive artistic language — highly detailed, delicate graphic work. 🎨
It’s a Spanish-language Tarot, created as a collaborative project in Argentina 🇦🇷.
I’d be very happy to share it with you, if that’s allowed. ❤️🃏

Saw it on an antphrodite video and some of the artwork really spoke to me so intrigued to find out what deck this is.

I never find this deck anywhere, usually just the book without the cards, but lucked out recently, so thought I would share.

Jonathan Dee Tarot: Marseille-inspired with a few hints of RWS here and there in the pips.

(The Golden Retriever puppy in the 3rd pic did not come with the deck).

Hi everyone, at the start of this year I release the Arcane Wildlife Tarot and so many showed so much support and love in the campaign - thank you all so much and I hope you’re enjoying those pieces!

It’s a delight to officially share here the live release of the official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tarot - The Don’t Panic! Tarot.

I hand-drew the artwork over more than a year and it would mean a lot if any interested took a peek.

Don’t forget your towels!

Not sponsored, just bought it bc I thought it was cute and I ended up reallyyyy liking the quality. It’s like not the standard card stock you might expect where the paper is a bit plasticky and bendy. It’s kinda more like the really thick business card texture so it’s firmer and still has a nice feel to them as you shuffle. I also kinda like it because it adds variety to the sensation of shuffling my decks.

The card designs for all the cards are nice and not carelessly thrown together. You can tell the artist either does tarot or did their research since the symbolism is there on each of the minor arcana (6 of cups showing a lil void family rahhh so cute). There’s also nice clever references to classic cat memes and reaction images, lots of effort in keeping some level of tarot meaning in its symbolism.

The deck box also is adorable with the little kitty silhouettes on the bottom and top, and the magnetic clasp is easy to snap into place. I’m also glad the text isn’t too small to read in the guidebook, I am hoping they do more cute or uniquely themed decks like this with the same level of quality at only 45$ (shipping was like an extra 10-11 dollars).

TLDR:
- nice deck quality in terms of thickness/firmness
- subtle and cute symbolism in all minor and major arcana done with care
- peak cat meme references
- No AI
- cute + good quality deck box
- text in the guidebook isn’t too small
- price v good and reasonable

Would score 10/10 for this one :3

EDIT: have posted a pic of some minor arcana cards in the comments/replies, it’s nice!

Very grateful to get this one in the mail recently; I’m always scanning Kickstarter for a contemporary TdM and this one is fantastic. Superb card stock, incidentally. Very interesting Major Arcana!

I don't want to take too many pictures and spoiler people who are still waiting for theirs, since the kickstarter rewards are just arriving to non-EU countries this week, so I did a quick three card cut.

(I'm unsure if Old Gods' Temple is the subtitle for this deck, or the name of Mariya Tobischek's studio, so I've included it anyway - It's written on the seal on top of the deck box, at least!)

This is such a beautiful and well thought-through deck! The characters and symbolism are consistent, the art is gorgeous and reminds me of the old books of fairytales I had as a kid, and I can tell that I will still be finding new things in this deck when I've used it a hundred times.

Okay so I randomly bought this Gilded Age Tarot deck on Lazada because I was I drawn by the artwork the more I stare at it, I felt the pull especially the card backs.

I got it for only 387php with free shipping from its original price that was around 1kphp during a sale and now its back to its original price of around 1kphp now which honestly felt like a steal because I saw it listed for around 1-2kphp elsewhere.

The box says Gilded Age Tarot and it seems to be by Sishui. The cards themselves are actually really nice?? They're full size, have a decent thickness, and the printing is pretty. It also came with a little guidebook.

But then I started looking through the guidebook and noticed there's no author/artist name, copyright page, or credits that I can find. I searched for Sishui and it seems to be an actual brand/creator studio, but I can't really find much information about who illustrated this particular deck.

And now I'm wondering if the artwork is AI-generated. Does anyone here recognize this deck or know who the artist is? Also, if you have a good eye for spotting AI art, I'd love to know what you think. Do any of the cards look AI-generated to you, or am I just being paranoid? 🥺

I'm not trying to bash the deck or anything I actually really love it and I'm happy with what I bought. I'm just curious about its origins because I'd rather know who made the artwork if possible.

I included some photos of the cards, backs, box and guidebook. Thank you for the help!! 💕

Hi everyone,

I recently launched my Kickstarter deck “The Garden of Color” and would greatly appreciate support getting it launched. The original artwork was created using oil pastels.

In order to provide the highest quality, the manufacturer requires an order of 500 boxes which is the reason the goal was set to 25000.

The deck will include black core cardstock cards, a lower and upper lid box, and a guide booklet.

Hello, everybody. I found this Deck and I absolutely love the art, but it is an AI generated Tarot deck.

I was wondering if anyone knows other decks from reliable sourcer and authors with similar ilustrations.

Thanks!
