Hi everyone!

As some of you may know, I’ve been working during the 6(!) past years on a tarot deck project, slowly putting together all the 78 designs and testing it out in it’s prototype state to give readings and refine it.

It is now finally ready to be published, and I chose to do it through a crowd-funding campaign on kickstarter! The page is now live here : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tete-de-mort-tarot/tete-de-mort-tarot-deck-and-guidebook/

The campaign will start mid-October - in the meantime, you can hit the “Subscribe me on launch” button there, it helps a great deal with the campaign getting momentum and pushing it up the kickstarter algorithm ;)

tête de mort

to publish this deck and run the campaign, I created a publishing house called “tête de mort” which means “skull”, in french. it’s symbol with the three dots is actually the alchemical symbol for a skull. I love that it resembles the french anarchist symbol mort aux vaches too!
the idea there is to make this new publishing project more sustainable than those I ran in the past, such as Spektrum Crush zine*, which was operating without making any profit and ended up fizzling out after the third issue. this is why I chose to go with a crowd-funding campaign, and made sure in the budget breakdown to leave a bit of money for tête de mort, so there is some room to publish more projects or cover operating costs.

I’m really excited to finally bring this first edition of the deck out in the world 💀🤍 don’t hesitate to share it around with people you think might be interested!

thank you for reading and have a great day!
cheers,

alpha
