I am very happy to announce the upcoming release of a project I have been working on for many years… The Allcento Tarot! You can order your copy today !! This deck will appeal to experts because the more you have studied, the more you will appreciate. And, it will also appeal to those new to the tarot because of my playful style of artwork. My goal was to create a deck that weaves together the differences of classic decks, as well as include many ‘lost cards’ in order to achieve my vision of a complete, 100 card deck that I call the Allcento (all-cento, meaning all 100). Please help me spread the word!!
