Self-employment is both a joy and a struggle. Cash flow fluctuates even more than the temperature these days. Having a strict budget I can’t always purchase an indie deck that’s only available for a limited time. Knowing that disappointment I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to make a small wholesale purchase of The Barkana Tarot deck that the creator stopped distributing as of January 1st. They are moving overseas this year and need to focus on that and other projects.
The Barkana Tarot Deck
“You’ve entered the world of dog-inspired tarot! Every image of this 78-card deck holds a gentle adaption of traditional tarot symbols in a way that captures the unique personalities of your best canine friends.
“Each vibrant watercolor painting is based off a real dog (or two, like in the Lovers). It’s immortalized dogs that have crossed over and shown off newly adopted pups. Every single dog is placed on a card that their human selects ensuring that the dog’s real colors come out in a tarot card that fits them perfectly.”
