In news this week, we look at what’s new, the projects on the go, those closing now and a few coming soon.
More Alice in Wonderland themed decks are on the way this year with “Tarot in Wonderland” (Barbara Moore and Eugene Smith) this April and oracle deck slated for October “Alice: The Wonderland Oracle” (Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket- Griffith). Can we ever have enough? No, of course not.
Doug Thornsjo’s current project – the new edition of “Tinker’s Damn Tarot and Mantegna” is closing for funding in just days. The project is in his signature style and in his description it is ‘a thoroughly original Tarot (with) a cranky, steam age soul.’ The project is well within sight of the goal but still needs support to go ahead. Thornjo’s other sucessful crowd-sourced projects include the fabulous Tarot of the Zirkus Magi.
Devany Amber Wolfe of the audacious “She Wolfe Tarot” announced via instagram (@serpentfire ) that the second edition is sold out (unless your local store has a deck or two left in stock) and the third edition (no listing of specific changes yet) will drop in April. The demand on this bold deck is sure to grow. Her first deck “Serpentfire Tarot” is currently selling in sixth edition (Aeon of Horus edition) and is being released in 2018 in a seventh (final?) border-less edition. An oracle deck is underway (The Sigil Oracle) and available in June. With a new studio to inspire and focus her from May, we can’t wait to see what unfolds. Could She Wolfe Tarot be the next indie deck to go mainstream?
Also due in April is Matt Hughes’ beautiful “Ethereal Visions Tarot“. This Art-Nouveau deck includes two extra cards and the booklet was written by Matt’s wife. If this deck seems familiar – you may remember it from the successful 2017 crowd-sourcing campaign. That limited edition (signed and numbered – 1100 total) has gold foil stamping and is still available directly from him.
“The Everyday Enchantment Tarot: Finding Magic in the Midst of life” is a new deck from Poppy Palin (text and art) available now. This is her fifth deck, long with her many other contributions to our community.
