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 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

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

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

Every tarot deck asks us to hold a mirror to ourselves, but few do so with the stark honesty of Marcos Alvarado’s The Light and The Shadow. At first glance, the cards shimmer with surreal, otherworldly imagery. Look closer and you begin to see the dialogue unfolding between brightness and obscurity, the kind of dialogue

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
