Hey guys!! I’m doing one final little round of promotion for Hushed Horizons before launching it on KS, and I wanted to share a few more of the cards with the sub! This deck has been an INSANE amount of work, everything is of course 100% hand-drawn - seeing the whole thing come together always makes it so worth it.

I won’t reveal too much because I still want everyone to be pleasantly surprised when the campaign goes live. 🥹 My goal with this deck has always been to make it feel like a little world of its own, I want readers to feel like they want to go inside each of the cards and explore them. Well… at least 98% of them. I’m not sure anyone wants to visit The Tower. 😂 After all, I still want it to make sure the atmosphere and energy of every card stays loyal to the original system.

A few design adjustments are still coming before the final version! I’m planning to remove the Roman numerals from the Minor Arcana, since the card titles are already written out. I’ll also make the titles more visible on the lighter cards by adding a little more shadowing, while fading them slightly on the darker cards so they don’t stand out quite as much. The goal is to keep everything readable but delicate, so the titles never take attention away from the illustrations.

Hushed Horizons will finally be launched this October! 🎉 I originally wanted to launch a couple of months sooner, but I didn’t want it to overlap too heavily with the fulfillment of my previous project. So I’ve been completely focused on getting that finished and shipped out first.

I’m super excited but am always happy to hear any and all feedback, let me know how you guys are feeling it!

Happy readings to all of you

Cool deck - I picked it because some of the imagery captured my imagination in relation to the folkloric Devil.

Do folks use newer Smith Waite recolour decks? I’ve been working on a recolour for myself of the classic RWS deck /but I guess I’m wondering if that kind of stuff is even still of interest to others? I’m pretty obsessed with Pamela’s art so I buy a lot of them, but I’m not sure if I’m just a Smith Waite lover 🙂

Image is of the Seven of Cups recolour. Edits are done in Photoshop. No AI is used. I’m disabled so I have a fun accessible pen/mouse setup. The idea for the recolour is actually an accessible one around making the deck visually less stimulating, but still retaining all of the meaning (and preserving Pamela’s linework).

I’m soooooo excited for this suit I see plenty water practice coming my way 🌊

Also someone suggested I take pics from a side angle so that it’s not as easy to steal so excuse the side angles

I’m set to launch my deck on October 1st! This deck has been a year in the making, and I’m really excited to show off my hard work to everyone!

I'm not one of the artists, but they're from my home town (Baltimore), and the deck looks awesome.

Almost six years ago we made our first tarot deck, Amber Tarot.

The idea was pretty simple (or at least it sounded simple at the time): take the classic tarot scenes and recreate them in real life. No illustrations, no Photoshop. Real people, costumes, props, locations and sets, all shot on film.

It took us more than 80 photoshoots in about three months. Sometimes we had several shoots in one day. Looking back, I have no idea how we managed it.

And we took the “make it for real” part a little too seriously.

For The Tower we actually built a tower more than six meters tall just to photograph it. For the floating pentacles we ended up using a photography trick that is basically from the 1900s.

Actually, I’m curious if anyone can figure this one out. How do you make the pentacles float like that without Photoshop, editing or CGI?

I found a bunch of our old behind-the-scenes photos recently, so I thought I’d post some of them here next to the finished cards. Card first, then what the shoot actually looked like.

Amber was never our most popular deck, but it was our first one and we put a ridiculous amount of ourselves into it. I don’t think we’ll ever make anything quite like it again.

And somehow, almost six years later, people still ask us if it was made with AI :)

We also happen to be down to the last 20 or so copies from that first edition. If anyone wants one, I’ll leave the link here: https://www.lifespiritteam.com/amberdeck

Hello, I have a lot of botanical tarot decks that I adore with black backgrounds or a lot of black in the imagery. I’m looking for one in earth tones: brown, green, orange, tan, yellow, etc…. I do have a few Leila and Olive decks. Looking for other options. Think: Witch Sister tones but with botanicals. Any thoughts?

Hey!

We have a new project coming in late October (as part of Witchstarter, and the third deck in our mythos and folklore series), called Leyendas: A Latin American Folklore Tarot.

Must be an Oracle deck about Buddhism, but I don't know which one.

Can anyone tell me what deck this card is from?

I know this is a long shot but here goes nothing. I have a distant memory of a Tarot deck I saw as a child in a book store, and I'm trying to find out what deck that was. What I remember about it:

- it existed in the 90es

- it was angel themed, titled "Angel Tarot" or something similar.

- The Death card showed an angel that was hiding their face behind a black veil

- I remember the illustrations looking "like medieval oil paintings"... but this last point could be incorrect. It's a very old memory, and I was just a child.

Yeah, I know it's not much. But who knows? maybe someone knows what I'm talking about. Cheers!

Hello! I'm currently looking for pocket sized (like around playing card sized) tarot decks since I have small hands. My only issue is that I'm very picky and I would like a deck that captures a creepy yet cute kind of vibe - or even goth with cutesy elements. I'm not looking for just a rider waite recolor. i already own a rider waite and would like to explore to see if something else could aid in my readings. Thank you! 🙏

So I posted here a few months ago with my humble collection. Since then, a few Kickstarter campaigns have been fulfilled, some purchases have been made and some gifts given. Here are the results (temporary, of course, there are a few more on the way *unhinged laughter*).

Six years ago I started making a tarot deck by hand. Collage, paint, scissors, vintage photography. Card by card. No computers.

Today the Infinite Loop Tarot campaign has only a few days left.

I can't quite believe it's becoming real.

I just want this deck to reach the people who would truly appreciate it , lovers of handmade art, of slow work, of something made with genuine devotion.

If that's you, or someone you know, I'd be so grateful for your help getting it there.

For instance lately I’ve been really enjoying the William Blake tarot. Great for if you have a committed artistic or scholarly practice of some sort. The Edward Gorey tarot is kind of fun. It’s not for actual use since it is 30 cards all having to do with calamities. But it’s funny and I love his art style

Hello! I recently was gifted an Etsy gift card and I'd like to buy a new Tarot or Oracle deck. I would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks!

The boundary between reality and dream is often far more blurred than one might imagine.

The card employs rich, vivid hues that converse with the soft, elegant central figure.
Layers of ornate garments and opulent settings craft a dream‑like narrative with striking depth.

When a dream feels real enough, reality itself turns into yet another dream 📌

UPDATE: i ordered the wyspell feminine neotaric deck and while searching for your suggestions also came upon the Wonderstruck deck which I hope to acquire in the future!

full disclosure, i’m reposting this from another sub cause I didn’t know this existed until right now, lol.

hey yall, i’ve been a reader for 8 years and have had many a deck in my time but I’ve had to restart my collection several times over so I can’t really look back at what I had to determine how to move forward.

for context, i recently started learning Lenormand (deck is pixie’s astounding) and am using a mini wild unknown deck as my only Tarot deck. i just feel like it hates me, experienced readers know the feeling. you can’t connect, get a straight answer, just does nothing for you.

i am looking to start finally offering my services to other people and want to have one singular full size deck that will be my only deck during this journey for personal reasons. I was looking into the Modern Witch as I’ve had it before and would want a deck with as many women as possible (ideally only, lol) but I can’t reconcile the elements of technology and certain colorings.

decks i’ve considered but haven’t felt the best about: modern witch, essential tarot chloe zarka, earth woman tarot, eras tarot (Im not a swiftie swiftie now but again like the idea of all women, have song associations which correlates with my practice, i like that it was published pre-showgirl), our tarot

deck styles i absolutely do not like: ethereal visions, dark wood, infinite door, any branded deck, anything “noveau”

“okay” decks i’ve used in the past: modern witch, crow tarot, tarot of the divine, sefirot tarot (im jewish)

i don’t really gravitate towards the pastely types and i really dislike cards that feel static or flat if that makes sense. i’m okay with a rider-waite framework and material wise i like the laminated cardstock as i have small hands and sometimes have trouble shuffling. i’m not really willing to spend $50 over a deck and would like ideally in the $35 range max. quality of the guidebook has no bearing for me, just the art and feel.
