Frank’s slow-burn Tarot Deck kickstarter

*scroll to bottom to see pre-order options!*

Couple of notes: 1) delivery outside of the UK before Xmas is *almost* certain but I’ll know for sure on 10th December & will send out a newsletter & update this notice then!
2) because of new GSPR regulations I’m unsure (but checking with Trading Standards) about whether I can ship to the EU, so for the moment am not.

September 2023: I have a linoprint-designed tarot deck that has been in the making for over two years which many people have said they would like to buy when it’s done, and I very much want to focus on it and get it finished. So in order to give myself a kick up the arse I’m offering it as a sort of preorder/kickstarter.

25th October 2024 update:

  • I’m writing a book to go with the deck, which is sold separately. It should be ready the same time as the tarot decks. See bottom of page for more info.
  • Major arcana numbering will be the same as the Rider Waite Smith deck. The High Priestess will be the High Priestexx.

Here are all the cards, and below them are the various options to buy!

Details of the cards

  • This is a strictly limited edition release of 250 signed and numbered decks. There may be further decks printed at some point but it’s not guaranteed, & they won’t be signed & numbered.
  • The cards will take the format similar to the Rider Waite Smith deck, that is, 22 major arcana with commonly-used traditional names (ie, I might use “magus” or “magician” for card I of the major arcana, but I won’t use “magic person”. The High Priestexx is the biggest deviation here.), 4 suits of cups, wands, swords and pentacles, each with a page, knight, queen and king. So 78 cards in total.
  • The cards will likely be 127 x 89mm, or very close to that.
  • The deck you receive will be professionally lithoprinted rather than hand-lino-printed.
  • They have been quoted to be printed on Fedrigoni Splendorgel Extra White 400gsm, a top-quality thick board that is totally chlorine and heavy metal free, and FSC certified. They’ll have a matt laminate for longevity, rounded corners for ease of use and will come packed in a rigid cardbox made from 79% recycled materials and hand-stamped by me.
  • I will sign and number every box.
  • Shipping will be insured and tracked.

Please feel free to ask any questions via the contact form & I’ll reply (check your spam!) and also post the question and answer here.
