COLOR UPDATE — PLEASE READ! The latest print run of the 5-cent tarot has some changes and additions. Please see pictures.
Colors are: French Lavender with lavender edges, (new!) Pumice with Gold edges (a neutral metallic with a slight celery tone), Robin's Egg with Gold Edges,
Graphite with graphite edges, Antique Green with Gold edges, and Twilight Blue with Gold Edges.
ALSO: some edges that were formerly matte now have more shine to them (more in the foil family vs. the painted edges of previous print runs). Specific callouts are the lavender edges (which are still matte) are much brighter; and the Antique Green edges (no longer matte) are more in the green/gold family.
ALSO: the box in the latest print run is larger (deeper) to accommodate additions, if you wish. I suggest the Yes/No fortune coin that pairs nicely with this deck.
The 5-cent Tarot is a fun and whimsical deck loosely inspired by Victorian era poster art. Using vintage images and remnants of biological and botanical ephemera, this deck also incorporates keywords in both the upright and reverse positions.
There are no people in this deck, but flora, animals and insects with sometimes human accessories and unexpected elements. This deck is full of small surprises and fun bits of whimsy — the idea is to engage the reader with images that are interesting, yet clear and to the point.
Quirky and fun: in this deck, pentacles are buttons, wands are matchsticks, swords are needles and cups are vintage teacups.
The keywords in upright and reverse positions are scaled to a size that will be helpful for new readers, but also not a distraction for experienced readers. The compositions also employ the symbolism from traditional tarot and are therefore, RWS-adjacent.
Fans of the Madam Clara Sees All deck (3 editions) and the Midcenturian deck already know that quality and presentation are very important to me. Cardstock is premium 350 gsm, akin to my latest decks which have a linen finish and superior shufflability, similar to a bicycle deck. The linen finish is a stamp-texturing process which makes the cards feel lighter and thinner, but they are no less strong and durable. These are NOT super thick shiny glossy cards, but are just as strong.
Each deck will include a matching custom designed pouch in a choice of 2 colors, as well as 4 extra majors, just for fun.Card size is 2.75" x 4.75" standard tarot.
