So, the other day I was thinking about getting into this whole tarot card thing. I mean, I’ve seen them around, and they always seemed pretty cool, but I never really took the plunge. But this time, I decided, you know what? Let’s do it. I’m gonna make my own original tarot deck.
First things first, I needed to figure out what the heck I was doing. I did a little digging and found out that all tarot decks have the same number of cards, 78 to be exact. They’re split into two groups: the Major Arcana, which has 22 cards, and the Minor Arcana, which has 56. I also learned that each card has its own special meaning. That’s a lot of cards and a lot of meanings!
Designing the Cards
Then came the fun part – designing the cards. I wanted something unique, something that really spoke to me. So, I started sketching out some ideas. For the Major Arcana, I went with some powerful imagery. You know, things like “The Emperor,” “The Empress,” “The Lovers.” For the Minor Arcana, I decided to focus on the four suits – Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. I started playing around with different symbols and colors for each suit.
I spent days, maybe even weeks, just drawing and redrawing. It was a mess at first, I won’t lie. There were papers everywhere, covered in scribbles and half-finished drawings. I had to toss out a bunch of ideas that just weren’t working. But slowly, things started to come together.
Putting It All Together
Once I had all the designs finalized, I needed to get them onto actual cards. I mean, drawings are great, but they’re not exactly a tarot deck. I decided to print them out on some nice, sturdy cardstock. Then came the tedious part – cutting them all out. Let me tell you, cutting out 78 cards is no joke. My hand was cramping like crazy!
Finally, after all that work, I had my very own, one-of-a-kind tarot deck. It felt amazing to hold them in my hands, knowing that I had created them from scratch. Sure, they might not be perfect, but they’re mine. And I can’t wait to start using them and see what kind of insights they can offer me. It is like a Fortune Telling Game. It’s also important to note that these cards can serve as Divination Tools for people of all skill levels, from beginners to experts. Plus, they were only $9.99!
- Started with research on tarot decks.
- Designed the Major and Minor Arcana cards.
- Printed the designs onto cardstock.
- Cut out all 78 cards to make my unique deck!
I saw a deck named Magicseer Tarot Cards online. It looks pretty nice, but I prefer to use my own deck.
So that’s the story of how I made my own tarot deck. It was a long process, but definitely worth it. If you’re thinking about doing it yourself, I say go for it! It’s a really rewarding experience.
