Curioser and Curioser. The Alice Tarot – 2010

So after much, “will we, won’t we?” we finally are working on another tarot deck and loving every minute of it. First pictures will be sent out in the newsletter in January.

The deck will not be opening for pre-orders until late in spring or summer 2010 so plenty of time as yet!

Many thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of our tarot work. It’s what finally made us decide to make the leap (down the rabbit hole) and embark on another deck.

If you are interested in reading more, there is a thread on the Aeclectic Tarot Forum that includes other details and a lengthy discussion about the deck. According to Karen Mahony, one half of the Baba-Studio which also incldes Alex Ukolov, the deck will be quite dark, which is a good thing. Lewis Carroll would be proud.

UPDATE:

The Alice Tarot now has a web site! While it is not available for sale now, it will be sooner than
