Is it possible to make your own tarot cards if you can't risk buying them online or from a store?
Witch Tip Wednesday 10.3.18
DIY Divination Tools
So, I started to answer this ask…then I wrote another paragraph. And another and then a different section and it kept going so I figured I should just make this a full on witch Tip Wednesday!
Yes it is! You can make it as easy or intricate as you’d like. There are several variations, so decide what works best for you.
You can make them by hand from the very beginning from the major to minor arcana. One decision you’ll have to make is if you’re making a Waite-Smith style deck where all 78 are illustrated to convey the meaning of the cards
Pros: you can really dig in deep for what imagery and symbolism relates to your interpretation of the cards. Customizing every aspect to make the most accurate reflection of how you read
Cons: it’s a lot of fucking work. 78 separate illustrations is what tends to scare people off from making this style. People tend to cut their losses and end up with a half finished product
Example: 8 of Cups. This depicts a person walking away from Golden Cups. There’s a moon (typically associated with unconscious thoughts, emotions etc) surpassing the sun (overt wants, needs and pride). The interpretation of the card is usually walking away from a situation, cutting your losses and giving up a specific endeavor. Usually associated with relationships whether romantic or interpersonal because the suit of Cups usually relates to emotional or internal matters. It’s a card of coming to terms with the reality of something.
You can also choose to make a Pip deck like the Marseille deck. What makes it a pip is that only the court cards and major arcana have illustrations that may reflect the meaning. Each other minor card is represented by the image repeated (8 of Cups is literally 8 Cups).
Pros: You can focus more of your energy on making the major arcana as you want. You can actually just draw/create the image once of your suit (1 cup, 1 wand, 1 pentacle/coin, 1 sword) and repeat it as necessary depending on the card.
Cons: If you’re dependent on images to help you remember meanings/interpret cards, you may struggle in interpretation when all you have to look at is 6 Swords, or 9 coins.
You can go crazy on this project and make it what you want. If you want to make a pip deck, you could just use a 2 regular playing card decks and decide what suits are which (spades-Swords/diamonds-coins/hearts-Cups/clubs-Wands) and then just alter a court card for each suit to represent either page or knight since each suit in tarot has 4 court cards, and regular playing cards have 3.From there, you could alter the extra cards to be the major arcana.
If you’re repurposing regular cards for either style of deck, you could paint the whole face one color and put your design on it either drawing, painting, collage or decoupage them.
If you want some blank cards, you can usually find some at your local craft store like these:
Black / Brown / White
These are $3.49 and usually you can use coupons. They’re for 52 cards so you’d need 2 to make a full 78 card deck and some extras in case you mess up or just don’t like a design.
You could also make an Oracle deck which is pretty much whatever you want. Think the major arcana extended. Ranges from usually 20-50 cards witch individual meanings and without usuall suits of the minor.
Another option is making your cards from paper. I suggest using 110lbs paper/cardstock for some firmness (or heavier). I would suggest going to a print shop like fedex/kinkos and using a paper cutter to get them even and not have to cut by hand which is a pain.
And if you want something even easier, you could also print a deck on paper (again, heavier paper is a little bit more durable, but if you don’t want to worry about it, you could use computer paper. With that, you could decoupage/glue them onto playing cards too.
Here are a few free printable tarot card decks you can browse through. Keep in mind that the price of printing these can add up, especially if it’s color.
Here’s a site that has a couple decks for printing that follow the more traditional tarot styles I even used the black and white one back in the day and spent a few days using colored pencils to color them. Took a stamp and gold ink to give the back a design. (Pictured above)
Here’s one from LittleDeadGirl that’s a pop culture collaged deck
Here’s one called The Hollywood Tarot which is a bunch of famous people…little bit dated to 00’s and before, don’t expect to see Chris Hemsworth or Janelle Monet
A Buffy The Vampire Slayer deck
A collection of 5 different decks from aeclectic tarot. One Leonormand Tarot deck in the link too.
The CBD Marseille Tarot
Another open source tarot deck
Going further, alternative forms of Card Divination
Now, I mentioned Oracle Cards briefly, but to flesh it out a bit more, they are a mixture of cards with different meanings, that vary deck to deck/person to person. If you buy them, most have a guidebook to go along with them, but they are usually read intuitively, and usually will follow certain archetypal images (there are also somethat follow a specific theme like plants, animals, angels, demons etc that may follow meanings off of historical associations, folklore, witchcraft uses, or intuitive meanings.) Due to this free wheeling nature, you can use pretty much anything as an Oracle deck.
The Deck of Many Things is a deck based on descriptions of a magical item in Dungeons and Dragons. While this product is meant to enhance gameplay, I love the lithographs and think it’d make a great Oracle deck. Especially if you already play RPG and need a broom closet friendly deck, this would be something awesome.
These are cards from a Spanish game named Loteria. It’s like bingo, and is super cheap to buy. Usually if you have a Mexican market anywhere nearby, they’ll have the game or can get it for you for a few bucks. If you’re broom closeted, you’re learning Spanish with these cards. I’ve used them for divination several times, but less so now that I’m in the habit of carrying a tarot deck wherever I am.
Going even cheaper and easier and more broom closet friendly: use regular playing cards. There’s a rich tradition of simple cartomancy using these cards. There are set meanings you can use, or you could read it as the minor tarot arcana, and alternate jacks to be knights or pages. You probably already have a set lying around. There are guides for definitions and meanings online, or if you prefer a physical book, Fifty-Four Devils: The Art and Folklore of Fortune-Telling with Playing Cards is one that I’ve heard great things about!
With that flexibility in place, people have told me about using Magic the Gathering cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Pokémon etc. you just curate which cards you can assign meaning to, and assemble from there. This makes t another broom closet and cheap alternative to purchasing tarot or Oracle decks if you have a collection of these cards already.
Feel free to tag me in any DIY decks you make! I love seeing these pet projects.
🦇Cheers, Barberwitch

"[...] women have an affinity for horror, they always have." Soraya Roberts
"The Linda Williams essay serves as a bridge from Laura Mulvey to Clover by positioning the woman not only or just a victim, but as a symbiotic double for the monster (monster/woman as ‘different,’ ‘freak,’ object-to-be-looked-at, victimized, etc.). Which harks back to the early horror film classics where the monsters were sympathetic figures (wolfman, Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, King Kong, the Mummy, etc), unlike the demonized and psychologically disturbed human monsters of the modern era. The “otherness” of so many classic horror movie monsters could be seen as metaphoric explorations of different forms of ‘difference.’" Donato Totaro
"Just as these movies and stories can provide a venue for us to talk about how we feel victimized, they can also provide a way for us to walk backward into our own scary parts." Sady Doyle
Carrie, Thomasin, Jennifer, Ginger

queer is just spicy straight. it’s the lgbt-passing of the sex-sexuality-gender discourse world. when you can refer to everyone you refer to no one at all. site-specific, meaning-specific words exist to refer to people by and when you choose not to for whatever reason (and really its not that big of a deal but we’re about to get to my point) you are aiding and abetting institutions like the media and so forth that use the word queer to reroute around actually naming us with political designations. academia neutered queer on the altar of inclusion. and now so many of us are like ykw? no thanks.
idk if this needs to be said but if any followers/mutuals of mine still support jeffree star or shane dawson get off of my page
this also includes trisha paytas, tana mongeau, any of the paul brothers, pewdiepie, etc. get the fuck out of here
This is such a big mood. Speaking as a full-time graduate student in the metro DC area, I don’t blame her for waiting. The cost of living here is grotesque.
stfu, this bitch just another LARPing liberal
Like most models, Ocasio-Cortez did not buy the outfit shown here - she rented it for a photo shoot. Also, the clothes come from an environmentally-conscious fashion line, the designers of which are sensible to her political platform.
I see why you omitted these details - sexism is more catchy when you neglect the whole story

at least tumblr hot takes are written by an overwhelming majority of just weird nerds and teens who don’t hang out with other gays... on twitter you can stumble upon any unbelievably bad opinion and discover it was written by an nbc showrunner who married the ceo of a startup that converts rental properties into oil wells. like at least nobody here has money or influence

So I saw this bullshit when I was on a TERF-blocking spree…
Half your TERF bullshit that people accidentally reblog is couched in dogwhistles which sound reasonable until I realize y'all are defining people’s lives and axes of oppression by their genitals, reducing me to whether I’ve got a vagina or not. You know, like misogynistic assholes do.
The other half makes sense until I realize that y'all have a fourth grade understanding of biology and think that humans only have XX and XY rather than six karotypes with varying phenotypes.
Context matters, you umbrella made of dried seaweed.
Honestly, I just saw a post claiming that it’s “rape by deception” not to tell someone you’re trans before you kiss them. This is literally exactly the same rhetoric that had a lesbian punching me in the 90s for not disclosing I’m bi the second she started hitting on me, because I somehow deceived her.
TERFs are fucking exhausting.
OP might agree with a nazi post if it said, “America needs to protect vulnerable communities from crime and violence” because it didn’t say, “vulnerable communities = white communities, and all the crime and violence that we care about is committed by people of color or immigrants or both.”
OP might agree with a pedophile who posted, “Children are not property, and adults need to respect their opinions!” Sound fine, until you notice they mean, “Respecting their opinions means letting them make all decisions as if they were adults.”
And the rest of us might reblog TERF rhetoric that said, “Women need to stand in solidarity against men trying to shut down their communities” until we realize that they’re defining “women” and “men” according to their own dogma, and not by biology or the law.
Dog whistles get shared because they leave out the half of the statement that clarifies their meanings. Anyone can get caught by those - they’re designed to be deceptive, to encourage support from people who don’t know the rest of the meanings intended by the words.
