Hi, witches.

Has any of you designed your own deck or intends to do it? If yes, tell me more!

What about creating a tarot deck out of the works available online? Paintings, drawings, photos.

It saddens me that I can't draw better. I have an idea for a deck but I'd need to collab with someone to make it happen. Hey, Lee, can you draw in a comic style? I could probably console myself with a photo project in the future but still...

Some time ago I started collecting works of a certain painter and assign them to cards. If I finish it, I'll probably print them sooner or later. I wonder what it would be like to work with a deck like this.

I'm sooo happy! I mean, cappy.

Wonderful idea, Caps! It's much better if you do it yourself. I think it's important to establish the SYMBOLISM on each card, it will manifest itself during readings. Do you want an original one with new symbols, or the old symbols with a new layout?

I painted my RW myself, many years ago - it's very wretched now hahahaha and I have always wanted to invent my own cards, and of course, draw them myself. When I was in school I used to communicate with my colleagues with a secret alphabet I invented, some sort of pictograms lol That's why i love Leno

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

This. I like the old symbolism and if I wanted the deck to be published I believe that's the way to go. There would be something very different about it thought

Be a good friend and channel some of your drawing skills into me
