So here it is at last.
I've shown some previews of this project, but I wanted to wait until it
was a little bit further along before revealing it. The Dreamdance
Oracle is a work-in-progress oracle deck collaboration between me and
writer
Satyros Phil Brucato. Our intention at this time, is that it will
eventually be made into a Kickstarter project to fund
a limited run, high quality, special edition deck; and then at a later
date released in a more standardized mass-market form via a card
publisher. Since the project is still in its early stages, this is not
set in stone yet. We're still discussing options and possibilities, so
suggestions are welcome!
While I am very happy with the deck that Llewellyn produced for me with the Shadowscapes Tarot,
I know a lot of people wanted a larger deck size. That's part of the
reason Satyr and I want to create a special edition this time, where we
have complete control over things like that!
The first
6 cards are now viewable on the site. I'll be updating it as they are
created and adding them to the site, and it will probably take about a
year for completion of the full deck. The final deck size will consist
of 40 cards. 10 cards to each suit: Passions, Places, Partners, and
Passages.
This is amazing news! I'm so excited to watch this project develop -- and of course snap up a deck!
ReplyDeleteThe Shadowscapes Tarot is one of my most beloved decks, and always gives me *phenomenal* readings -- had Llewellyn ever been receptive to the idea of producing a larger version?
I don't think they have, which is why we want to do a limited edition of this deck before taking it to the publishers!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see and hear more! I love my Shadowscapes deck.
