This Marseille-inspired Modernist Tarot deck from BRut by Uusi is really nice. If you’re looking for a clean, modern take on the traditional deck, this is definitely a project to see.
And the wood cases they’re making to accompany the deck are simply gorgeous. Take a look by visiting the Kickstarter project page or the Uusi website.

Having already posted about two Tarot projects last week (The Psychobilly Tarot and The Ghetto Tarot), I was a little hesitant to post about another one so soon. But since this one is so very different from the other two, I thought I’d go ahead.
So here it is – The Tarot of Bones, a natural history-themed divination set by artist and author Lupa. Take a look at her video below, and visit The Tarot of Bones project page to learn more.

Here’s an interesting Indiegogo Tarot project – The Ghetto Tarot by photographer Alice Smeets.
Smeets and a group of Haitian artists called Atis Rezistans (Resistant Artists) have reinterpreted the traditional Rider Waite Smith deck using Port-au-Prince as their backdrop and source of inspiration. I think it looks fantastic!!
Take a look at the video below to see for yourself, and visit The Ghetto Tarot project page to learn more.

I know I just posted about a Kickstarter project on Monday, but I couldn’t help but share another one with you all today. This one is called the Creature’s Secrets: Animal Divination Card Deck by Yelizaveta Bakhtina.
It’s an oracle deck built around 50 different creatures from the animal kingdom, each with their own special message.
Take a look at the video below, and visit the Creature’s Secrets’ project page to learn more.

Take a look at this new collaborative Tarot project – the Slow Holler Tarot Deck.
Twenty-nine different artists and three writers, all sharing Southern roots, queer identities, or both, have come together to create this fabulous deck.
They’re still working on it now, but it looks like it’s going to be really good. I want one.
Check out the video below, and/or visit the Slow Holler Tarot Deck project page to learn more.

Here’s an interesting Tarot Kickstarter project – the Construction Paper Tarot by John Withee.
Using pretty well nothing but construction paper and a trusty pair of blue scissors, Withee has constructed his own version of the Rider Waite Smith deck.
It’s kind of a crazy idea, but as a crafter myself, I totally see the appeal.
And it’s turned out to be quite beautiful. Take a look for yourself by visiting the Construction Paper Tarot project page, and/or Withee’s Facebook page.

Here’s another sweet Tarot Indiegogo Campaign to look at … The Linestrider Tarot by Siolo Thompson.
Her graphite/ink/water colour images are just beautiful, soft, elegant and really powerful. I like all the cards I’ve seen, but am especially fond of the Queen of Wands (I think it’s the black kitty on the Queen’s shoulder that sold me.)
To see the cards for yourself, and to learn more about the deck, visit the Linestrider Tarot project page at Indiegogo and/or Thompson’s website, The Linestrider Codex.

Last week I posted about Robert Place’s new New York Lenormand Oracle Cards. In the post, I mentioned that Place is the creator of The Alchemical Tarot, one of my all time favourite decks.
As it turns out, while working on his new Lenormand cards, Place has also been re-working his Alchemical Tarot and is now ready to print a 4th edition of these fabulous cards.
To see the new deck (each of the cards has been reworked and renewed), visit The Alchemical Tarot: Renewed Four project page. There you’ll find images of all the cards, and a description of what’s changed since the last printing.

Robert Place, creator of many many fine Tarot decks, including The Alchemical Tarot and the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mysteries, has lately been putting his talents towards Lenormand decks.
Most recently, he and Rachel Pollack worked together on the absolutely stunning Burning Serpent Oracle. Now, he’s ready to print two more Lenormand decks, both based on a deck from 1884 called The Mystic Cards of Fortune.
Place has recreated the original deck in two versions, one using Lenormand images combined with regular playing card symbols, and a second combining the Lenormand images with Tarot symbols. Together he’s calling them The New York Lenormand Oracle Cards.
To learn more about them, and/or to order copies of these unique decks for yourself, visit Places’ Indiegogo project page. I’ve already ordered mine!
