I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of the VIA—PAX Tarot before its Kickstarter launch and I’m definitely liking what I see. At its core, the VIA—PAX Tarot feels like a sanctuary of calm to me. Created by artist and tarot practitioner Kara Marie Cruz, this deck is designed to be a gentle…

We covered Samantha Perez‘s The Renowed Artists Tarot Kickstarter campaign in our previous post and I’m so excited to talk to her more about her project.
