About

The Darkana Tarot Deck combines a modern grunge style with non-traditional tarot symbolism. Every image was personally designed by me, the creator of the Inappropriate Tarot Readings phenomenon; this deck is everything I want to convey. Most decks end up being representations of the Rider-Waite deck, which doesn't offer a lot in the way of new, groundbreaking material out there. It is my opinion that the best tarot decks challenge current views and inspire. One way I seek to do that is by using more modern symbolism with clever artistic techniques, all packaged into a current style that's both rich in context and appealing.

This is the 2nd edition of the tarot deck. The first edition sold out completely and is no longer available. There was so much demand for this that I needed to do another campaign to get this out everyone who wants one. This deck was also rejected by several major tarot publishers. I self-published it and it won several awards.

Last thing I want to make clear here, I am using a local publisher this time around and I know more about the process, so there won't be any delays in shipping. I have also changed the images on several of the cards, as I was unsatisfied with them. The text on each card has also been updated to be more legible, as it was very small in the previous edition.

Here's a before and after shot. Notice how the new images have elements of color as well.
