I've been browsing Etsy and came across some interesting Tarot decks others might like.
The first one I saw is Cards of Chaos by LoucheLab
Here's the description:
This is a deck of 24 cards (plus an opening card) beautifully printed and very odd looking. Each card is 2"X3" and they come in a nice cardboard box. This is the first edition of 25 decks. Each deck is signed and numbered in the inner part of the top lead.
It looks like an interesting deck, shame it's only 24 cards (odd number)
There's an interesting looking deck made of wood called the Wooden Tarot by Skullgarden which you can see here and they have a website here.
There's the The Efflorescent Tarot by katierosepipkin. The description:
Produced over a period of 2 years, between 2009 and 2011, The Efflorescent (adj; bursting into flower) Tarot is a fully functional deck illustrated in the Rider-Waite tradition. Comprised of characters, objects, and places that exist in their own world, the deck is an examination of archetype, of entity beyond personhood. The cards are powerful because they become players in human drama; they act as triggers for personal truths. The cards, like all myths and fables, provide a marginal space between a real world and an interior landscape. They become allegory for love, loss, hardship, reward; they allow one to see one's own path in symbols and stories.
These color decks contain 78 unique cards, in 4 suits with major arcana. Cards are 3.5x5 inches, on heavy semi-gloss paperstock, with cut corners. They have a black and white floral back design. They come in a white cardstock box with a random card cover.
Full deck illustrations can be viewed at katierosepipkin.com/tarotdeck
There's the Animism Tarot Deck which looks really interesting and beautifully drawn by rainbowofcrazy.
Description:
Blending both tarot symbolism and animal symbolism with every card, The Animism Tarot represents the beautiful merging of both worlds, bringing a fresh yet familiar take on tarot reading.
Each card showcases a unique animal, combining its own individual strengths with each tarot card meaning to create a deck that's vibrant, charming, and above all, easy to connect with and easy to read. This deck was designed so that it can be read using traditional Rider Waite meanings while also offering familiar symbolism with each image to inspire more intuitive readings, offering something for both beginners and seasoned readers alike.
The Animism Tarot is a collection of 79 fully illustrated tarot cards. These cards were originally designed as a series of paintings, created with acrylic paint on beautiful watercolour paper, giving each image a unique feel and texture. The Animism Tarot includes the traditional 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana, and also includes the infamous Happy Squirrel tarot card for a bonus dose of Happy.
This 79 card deck comes in its own tuck box. Cards measure 2.75 x 4.75 inches and are printed on 12 pt, 269 gsm clay coated card stock and have a nice subtle sheen. This item is shipped directly from The Game Crafter in Wisconsin, United States.
There's also The Stolen Child, A Limited Edition Major Arcana Deck by MonicaLKnighton.
