If this is important to you, you can use an app like Pixlr to fix the labels, or try again until AI gets it right!
More ways to create your own Tarot cards:
If you've been wanting to create your own tarot deck, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you unleash your inner artist and a few suggestions to get your ideas flowing.
Materials Needed
Markers, pens, or paints
Reference books or online resources on Tarot symbolism
A quiet space to create
Small sketchbook with tear away pages or
Blank Tarot cards
Suggestion 1: Start with a deck of blank Tarot cards.
This allows you to get going quickly and easily. Utilize your unique art style to personalise each card, infusing them with your own original energy and meaning.
Suggestion 2: Research and Inspiration
Before diving into the artwork, spend some time researching the traditional meanings and imagery associated with each Tarot card. The 78-card deck is made up of:
Major Arcana (22 cards): These represent significant life events and spiritual lessons.
Minor Arcana (56 cards): These are divided into four suits (Cups, Pentacles, Swords, Wands), reflecting everyday challenges and situations.
Suggestion 3: Decide on a Theme
Choose a consistent theme for your deck. It could be based on:
Nature: Use flora and fauna to illustrate each card.
Fantasy: Think mythical creatures and enchanted landscapes.
Personal experiences: Illustrate cards based on significant moments in your life.
Step 1: Sketch Your Cards
Start with rough sketches for each card. I suggest using 2 sketchbooks that you can dedicate to your Tarot drawings. One for rough work and one with heavier, high quality paper and for the final card images. Focus on how to convey the essence of the card’s meaning through your imagery. Remember, there are no rules – let your creativity flow!
Step 2: Add Colour and Detail
Once you're satisfied with your drawings, go over them with your chosen medium. Coloring can greatly affect the mood of each card. Consider how tones can represent different emotions and meanings.
Step 3: Write Your Meanings
Create your own “little white book” a booklet which describes what each symbol and image represents to you. This personal touch will help deepen your connection to the deck.
Step 4: Test Your Deck
Once all your cards are complete, it's time to put them to the test! Conduct a few readings for yourself or for friends. This will not only give you practice but will also help you see if there are any cards you want to revise.
Step 5: Reflect and Revise
After testing your deck, take note of what resonates and what doesn’t. Don’t hesitate to tweak or completely redo cards that you feel need enhancement. This deck is a living expression of you!
Step 6: Use and Enjoy
Now that you’ve created your very own Tarot deck, use it! Whether for personal readings or gifting it to someone special, your unique deck is a reflection of your creativity and intuition.
Step 7 (optional): Get it printed!
If you choose to, scan or photograph your cards and print the files to make copies. you can print it yourself, or if you want a really professional look, self publish it! This website: Makeplayingcards.com is a great one to use, you can order just 1 deck or several thousand. They even have options for high quality card boxes and booklets.
Final Thoughts
Creating your own Tarot deck is not just a craft; it’s an art form of self-exploration. Each card holds a piece of your story, making them powerful tools for divination. So gather your supplies, unleash your imagination, and let those energies soar! Happy creating!
