Tarot Cover Reveal and Giveaway!

As many of you know, I have been working on a tarot deck for Llewellyn, along with illustrator Elisabeth Alba. It is an insanely long and complicated process, and the deck won't be out until January 2017 (and it isn't even up for preorder yet)...but we finally have COVERS to share with you, and we couldn't wait!

Here is the cover for the set (on the outside of the box). The card they used here is Judgement.


Here is the cover for the book I wrote, which will come with the deck. The card they used for this one is the The High Priestess.


And here is what the back of the cards will look like. I LOVE this design!!! Isn't Elisabeth's art fabulous?


What do you think? I hope you're as excited as we are.

Of course, I can't do a giveaway to celebrate, because the cards aren't out yet...or can I? (Bwahahahaha...)

If you've read some of the earlier posts about the creation of the deck, you might already know that when I was writing the book, I bought a bunch of other tarot kits for research. So I'm going to give away one of those--a cool card and book kit called Tarot for Everyone. It came out in 2008 and it isn't even available anymore, so I suppose you could consider it a collector's item. (The kit is open, of course, since I looked at it while I was working on my book.)


As always, all you have to do to enter is use the Rafflecopter form. [No purchase necessary, not associated with Facebook in any way, yada yada yada.]

Tell me--do you own one or more tarot decks already? Are you excited about this one?

  1. Beautiful! Cannot wait for this deck to be available as I want one badly! My fave decks are Robin Wood, Wildwood, & Rider. I think your new one will be my new favorite :-)

  2. OMG Can't wait for this set to come out! And to answer the question - yes, I do. I have...oh geez, hang on... (counting in my head) eight that I can think of off the top of my head. My go-to is the Witch's Tarot by Ellen Dugan, though I also really love my Heart of Stars deck, and I need to play more with my Wild Wood deck.

  3. Oh yes I own half a dozen decks- use Robin Wood and Tarot of the Spirit most often- but I will pre-order yours as soon as it is available! Love the stuff you've previewed so far.

  11. I have a couple - one is missing a few cards (years of moving around) and I'm not particularly attached to the other set. I haven't found any that I do like; anxious to check out yours and hoping it "fits!"

  12. They look beautiful! I have 2 Tarot decks, Goddess Oracle Cards and both sets put out by Brian Froud. I think I will be adding this set to the collection as well!

  15. Hanson-Roberts is my go-to deck. But I also have the Gay Tarot and a sock monkey tarot deck. (It might be called the Knitter's Tarot, I don't remember for sure.) I look forward to adding yours to my collection!

  16. I own several deacks. Actually 8 to be precise. I am always looking for decks that deviate from the too often incorporated Judeo-Christian aspects. My favorite is Animals Diving, but Druidcraft and Dragon are up there also. Looking forward to your deck...

  18. Hmmm I have a deck of the original style (is it Ryder?) tarot. I also have a farie set that I adore. And one other. So when yours comes out that will be 4 sets.

  19. I have Celestial Tarot and Tarot of Pagan Cats 😊 I can't wait to preorder this one!

  20. I currently own about 25 tarot, lenormand,and Oracle decks, but I have my trigger finger ready to hit preorder on Amazon the second they will allow it on both this and Melanie Marquis's Spellcaster's Tarot too :D

    I have been reading professionally for five years now, but I am very selective about my decks because I live in a small home with a limited amount of space. As much as I do appreciate many of them, there are only a few I care to own or work with. I think this deck will be fabulous not only for my clients, but for me! I really love the artwork and cannot wait to devour the companion book and hear all of the insights as only you can put them in your "everyday" style!

    1. Ironically, as much as I love looking at all the decks out there, until I started working on this project, I had only owned and used one tarot deck for all the years I've been reading professionally (the Radiant Rider-Waite deck).

    2. Funny thing about Melanie Marquis's deck is that my husband illustrated that one!!! :D

    3. I'll have to get a copy of that one! I love Scott's work.

  24. I have the wonderful Steampunk deck, the long used and much loved Arthurian deck, and the Jane Austen deck. Fully expect your new deck to become a much consulted favorite.

  25. The pic of the tarot deck you're giving away reminds me a lot of one I used to have. It went "missing" when my parents were taking care of my kids while I was having my stem cell transplant.

  32. I don't own a deck, but this will be my first :) I love the look and feel of the artwork.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have 3 decks and can't wait to see this new deck! The artwork looks fantastic! Although I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a 'collectible' deck that you used for inspiration ;)

  36. ARGHH! Why isn't it January yet!! I NEED THIS! I'm so excited about your deck and Mickie's forthcoming book release, it's just too much!! I collect cards and have about forty decks, Mickie's is just to the side of me as I type, but I ALWAYS want more. I'm not addicted, honest! Also the Judgement card you featured above is very reminiscent of The Fool as it appears in traditional decks; I love interesting twists on traditional cards, and the illustrations look great! I cannot wait to get my paws on these! Hope your knee is OK xxx

  41. The artwork is just wonderful Deborah! :-) Especially the back of each card, so cute! <3

  43. I have one deck of cards for years, Love these and would be so excited if I won , so beautiful

  44. I do. I am currently learning my Tarot on a Gilded Tarot deck, which I am enjoying very much. Before that, I had a Marseilles deck I was given as a gift, but I needed something much more visual. I am also a collector, so I do have a few others. This one looks like I could either add to my collection, or better yet, gift it to my daughter who is starting to show interest in witchy things.

  45. I have about 3o decks at any given moment. Sometimes one of the tells me they need to be gifted to someone else so the number fluctuates. :)
