I love an occasional erotic tarot decks, in fact, one of my favourite erotic tarot decks is Aquata Dujour’s Dick Pic Tarot Deck (not very subtle!). Erotic tarot decks usually fall into one of two traps. They either become shock value, or they become oddly sanitised. The sexuality is technically there, but flattened into something…

I’ve been super intrigued by Margrave Lucian for a while now and when I found out that they’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign for a tarot deck, I was in. In true Lucian’s form, the Threshold Tarot isn’t traditional in the way most tarot decks are. According to them, the deck is inspired by “queers with…

I’ll be honest, I almost scrolled past this one. There are a lot of collage decks on Kickstarter right now, and not all of them hold up beyond the first glance. But The Faustina Tarot made me pause, then go back, then zoom in. It’s all hand-cut. You can tell immediately. The edges are not…

I first wrote about Andrea Aste almost a year ago, when The Ghastly Lenormand breathed new life into Victorian mysticism and quietly reminded readers why historical interfaces between imagery and meaning still matter in contemporary decks. Later, in our creator’s spotlight, Andrea spoke about his fascination with European visual traditions and how they continue to…

I don’t think I have ever seen a more beautiful tarot deck. Which might be an exaggeration, considering how many decks I’ve bought and how many decks I’ve featured here in Fortune Teller’s Gazette. But wow, The Fertile Void Tarot is in a league of its own. Created by Devany Amber Wolfe, The Fertile Void…

As someone who constantly struggles with filling up a blank canvas, there is a quiet logic behind Mariëlle S. Smith’s latest Kickstarter campaign, Get Out of Your Own Way, that feels familiar to anyone who has ever sat in front of a blank page, half-finished sketch, or stalled project. At its core is a 31-day…

When I first wrote about Arcane Wildlife Tarot recently, it was clear that something a little unusual was taking shape. Jack Brutus Penny’s vision for the deck stood out not because it leaned on a familiar narrative about spiritual transformation, but because it began with a simple question: what if tarot could be less about…

Jack introduces himself plainly: “My name is Jack and I am a nonsense writer and illustrator from England, based in Japan.” That tone carries straight into Arcane Wildlife Tarot. The deck starts with a simple idea: animals understand cycles without overthinking them. They know when to rest, when to move, when to cause trouble. “We…

There are tarot decks that promise clarity, and then there are decks that ask you to remain inside the question a little longer. The Liminal Deck sits firmly in that second space. Created by artist David McKinsey, it is shaped by thresholds, pauses, and moments that resist definition. For David, liminality did not arrive as…

I need to admit, I’m not really a fun of circus – I get creep out by clowns, I hate animal cruelty and I get strangely turned on by bearded ladies. The only circus I have ever truly loved is Britney Spears’ Circus album from 2008. However, the Horror Circus Tarot deck, created by Una…
