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

Some tarot decks are planned years in advance, carefully sketched and mapped before the first card comes to life. Alien Tarot was not one of those decks. For its creator Constance Bankus, the project began as a series of accidents. A rewatch of The X-Files, a random tarot movie, and the sudden collapse of her

I’ve been pulled lately by decks that sparkle with starstuff, that feel less terrestrial and more liminal. I had so much fun with the cheeky Cosmic C*unt Tarot by Samantha Rook and was excited to find Alien Tarot: A Strange, Glowing Journey Through the Stars by Constance Bankus on Kickstarter. It’s the kind of weird

I love it when my tarot decks can be used for other functions, other than what it’s meant for. I’ve previously written about The True Sight Oracle Deck that blends divination with the creative sparks needed for epic adventures. In this new Kickstarter campaign, Mordant Arcana, the tarot deck and storybook by Bogfolk, artist–author Strega

I definitely am not a gardener, but there’s something undeniably enchanting about a well-tended garden, its smell, quiet rhythms, and the slow, contemplative pleasure of watching life bloom in secret corners. With Secret Garden Tarot Deck, creators Lotta Glybotskaia, Tatyana Zaslavskaya and Andrey Glybotsky unveil a luminous tarot deck inspired by the plant lore, art history, and

I am always on a lookout to spotlight projects that not only expand what tarot can be, but actively challenge how we use it. The Axiological Tarot, created by artist and thinker Silas Plum, is one such project. Rooted in the philosophy of axiology (the study of values, I’ve just learned), this striking Kickstarter campaign

At Fortune Teller’s Gazette, we believe that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the tools they use for self-discovery. That’s why I’m so excited to spotlight the Everyday Women Tarot, a Kickstarter project by Denis and Anastasiya Dyshlovenko of Life Spirit Tarot that is unapologetically dedicated to celebrating women in all their complexity, diversity,
