Create your own Tarot pack.

Hi Everyone, I thought I would post about this book I bought where you colour in your own Tarot cards. I must admit I am rather enjoying it. The book comes with a full set of cards that you pop out, explanations to the cards and the basic 3 card spread along with the Celtic cross spread. You can purchase them at the works at £5 RRP price is £12.99 bookshop or online I believe?.

The publisher is Arcturus publishing limited ISBN:978-1-83940-255-5

I used to be a manager at The Works (awful company to work for).
They do get some decent bargains in tho, I picked up the Cathar Tarot for £6 from there. 
It sounds fun but I'd get analysis paralysis and never get them coloured .
Please post piccies of your coloured in cards, I'd be interested to see what colours you choose.

Hi 55 ah that is a shame that the works was awful to work for when you was a manager with them. I agree that you really do get some bargains in there, I was after a couple of books for Christmas and saw them in the shop so I asked my husband to get me them for Christmas at a fraction of the retail cost.

I sure will take some photo's to show you all, I still have a lot to colour in but I thought it will keep me out of mischief .

I've bought a couple of colour your own Tarot books, as well as blank Tarot cards to make your own but I've never really got into them as yet. In one book the cards are designed to "pop" out with perforated edges, so you can make your own Tarot cards. I did such an awful job with The Fool, I haven't been game enough to try another card, hahahahaha! The trick is working out what sort of medium works well on the cheap paper they provide. I used Textas and pencils, yeah, it didn't work out too well.





The book is actually really good. It gives a brief outline of Tarot, plus meanings of the cards, as well as a couple of spreads - a 3 card spread and the Celtic Cross. I actually recommend this book as a present for someone who is interested in Tarot, especially kids. It would make a fun project for them to make their own deck and also learn the basics about the cards. A lovely winter activity when it's raining, snowing and cold outside with the wind howling! Sitting in front of the fire colouring in. What bliss!

I can't actually find the author of the deck anywhere, only the publisher. How odd.

Hi Pandora, your Tarot book is the same as Mine only the image on the front of the book is different but the cards are the same. I too am using felt tips pens, pencils and gel pens as you say it is hard to know which sort of medium to use on them. I have some distress oxide inks that I may have a play about with on some of the cards and see how they turn out.

I agree it is a great activity to do especially as the nights have drawn in now and it is colder. I will take some photos on some of the cards that I have finished and post.
