[dropcap]I[/dropcap] wanted to create a deck for tarot readers and also for the use of normal game playing, so The 7th World Tarot deck began. The deck uses pentacles, wands, cups and swords in a pip fashion for normal play, some jokers were created too just for the fun of it.
It took 2 months over Christmas to create the images. During the process I worked with Morgan of Avalon, who created the words and meanings in the booklet that comes with the deck. The cards and booklet use a specially designed font just for the deck as an added touch.
It was a great project to work. From designing, illustrating and packaging the cards I pretty much sourced everything to keep cost down. I do believe that Tarot decks are a little overpriced and by handling the process myself, no middle people were able to put their percent on top. This way it’s affordable for everyone.
I have had many positive feedbacks about the cards and you can find reviews on the net. I have listed a couple below.
