Many people have made Tarot cards throughout the course of the centuries. You can purchase blank ones in a set, already cut and sized for you, and create your own artwork to go on them. Or you can print them out on photo paper or card stock and cut them yourself.

Read More »"Every once in a while when the weather is bad and I can't get out on the bike, I work on my deck that I'm designing just for my personal use. The Coins are represented by Wheels, and the Swords are kickstands. For the Major Arcana, I'm sketching out people that are recognizable in the biking world. It's taken me years just to get halfway through the deck, but it's a labor of love, and it's something just for me, and not to share, because the artwork is stuff that matters to me but probably wouldn't to anyone else." Ideally, what you'll want to use is images that resonate with you personally. If you just don't feel a connection with the traditional image of a wand, for instance, use something else to represent that suit — and do it in a way that makes things meaningful to you. It's also important to remember that you don't have to be a professional artist to create a deck of Tarot cards — use images and ideas that matter to you personally, and you'll find you like the end result. The bottom line? A personalized deck will be something you can customize to your own needs, wants, and creativity. The sky is the limit when you're tying your own symbols into the magic of the Tarot. If you're someone who can't quite connect with Tarot, don't worry — you can always create an Oracle deck based upon your own system of divination. Julie Hopkins at The Traveling Witch recommends: "If you get stuck, think about the things in your life that “feel” magical and spark something inside of you. This could include nature, sacred spaces (in your environment or in the world), magical tools you use in your rituals, shapes, people you admire, characters from books, musicians, affirmations to keep you motivated, food, quotes or poetry... Don’t be afraid to edit meanings as you get to know your cards more. This should be a fun, fluid process. Don’t overthink it."
