Though it looks to only be available in the United States, here’s a new fun and spooky Tarot deck you might enjoy – Horror Comic Tarot Cards.

Chris ‘Hoffmangler’ Hoffman gathered artwork from public-domain horror comic books from the 1940s and 50s to put together this fabulous looking 78 card deck.

To learn more about it, visit the Horror Comic Tarot Card project page, and take a look at the video below …

As I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for a drawing video … take a look at A Miyako M’s Major Tarot video below to see some drawing in action.

I just love watching drawing videos, and the one below is especially fun because what’s being drawn are Tarot cards, specifically, two cards from Eva Duplan’s new Butterfly Effect Tarot.

Duplan is an illustrator from Austin, Texas specializing in body positive art. To learn about her new deck, visit the Butterfly Effect Tarot project page, and to see more of her illustrations, visit her website.

What a beautiful deck … the Aboriginal Dreamtime Oracle by Mel Brown.

This new deck, released through Rockpool Publishing, feels rich, deep, and yes, dreamy. It shares the stories of the Aboriginal Ancestors as channeled through Mel Brown, each card offering a different dream, one we can have while we’re awake.

Brown, a Ngunnawai woman, describes dreaming as Mother Earth whispering ancient stories and sharing wisdom, and Dreamtime as being an ‘ancient bible’ that explains creation and provides guidance to help understand and live our lives.

In this deck (one of a series of Aboriginal themed decks created by Brown), 40 different dreams are represented, each one beautifully illustrated with a composite image of a photo and painting.

There’s a calm elegance to these cards that encourages reflection, and the accompanying handbook that tells the story of each dream is both clear speaking and spiritually illuminating.

For those interested in an oracle deck with a quiet voice, but the power of ageless wisdom, take a look at the Aboriginal Dreamtime Oracle. I think you might really like it.

Here’s a fantastical new Tarot deck from Kahn & Selesnick called The Carnival at the End of the World.

Take a look at the video below to see some of the cards (and their models), and visit the Carnival at the End of the World project page to learn more.

Here’s another lovely new deck in the works, this one by Megan Wyreweden … The Anima Mundi Tarot.

Anima Mundi is a phrase coined by Plato to mean ‘the world soul’, or the concept that all living things on the planet are connected as one unified spiritual entity. Sounds like a good idea for a deck.

To see the cards, and to learn more about them, watch the video below, visit the Anima Mundi project page, and/or Wyreweden’s website …
