Tarot Card Q&A!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Sep 04, 2021 at 03:44:59 PM

Hey Everybody!

We see you — our 800 followers on Kickstarter and our 1,000 followers on Instagram — and we thank you for creating a community that is interested in decolonizing our world.

But why donate right now? First of all, these limited edition gold gilt edged cards in the clamshell deck are only being offered DURING this Kickstarter. You’ll get these extremely high quality cards at a very reasonable price, and will own the FIRST PRINT of The Decolonized Tarot - a special collector’s edition.

Hundreds of hours of work has been put in creating this deck. The animations, the sketches, the concept design, the back and forth conversations have been a joy and a passion of ours.

But, we need your help in creating this detailed experience.

We only have 12 days to go!

Gold Gilt edges that will be on the Kickstarter Collector's Edition Cards

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the clamshell, gold-gilded edge full-color Decolonized Tarot Deck. Here are some answers:

Q: Is this a limited edition?

A: Yes! The gold-gilded edged deck with clamshell box is a limited edition, and only available for this Kickstarter Campaign.

Q: Are the posters signed?

A: Of course they are :-)

Q: Can you tell me more about the gold-gilded edging process?

A: Not a lot of cards have gilded edges. It’s a boutique process. We wanted to make Decolonizing a luxury experience. :-)

Gold-gilded edges are NOT printed with the cards. It’s a special process where the cards are printed with a die-cut first, and then the metallic edge must be wrapped around each card. It’s a specialized process that is imported.

We've almost hit the Poster Stretch Goal - Help us choose!

Hello friends!

Thank you so much for your continued support. As we near our first stretch goal, we are planning out the posters we want to print and make available to you. We know we will release a poster of all the Major Arcana cards, but we also need YOUR HELP to choose which single card gets to be blown up into a poster!

Starting today, we will be doing a fun and interactive March Madness-style voting for the next week or so over on our Instagram story! Vote here: https://bit.ly/3mL0I6r

The Decolonized Tarot Team
