The Indie List - May 2023

We love the fresh perspectives of indie tarot and oracle decks. These self-published works tend to include beautiful artwork, luxury finishes and unique interpretations of traditional symbolism. Here are a few of our favourite indie decks to elevate your spiritual practice for 2023.

What are indie tarot and oracle decks?

"Indie" in the tarot and oracle world means "independently published", which means that indie decks are the self-published works of wonder that creative minds manifest into being from brilliant imaginations. There is nothing we love more than flipping through a fresh indie deck and embarking on a visionary journey into another world. 

When we stock a new indie deck, they tend to get scooped up quickly because they're typically limited edition, beautiful finds. Here's a quick round-up of some of our favourite indie picks for May 2023.

The Spacious Tarot

This brilliant indie deck from Carrie Mallon and Annie Ruygt makes room to roam. Don't be afraid to take up space, with enchanting depictions vastness, nature, and landscapes this deck has room for a whole universe of possibilities. We are especially in love with the tranquility and inner feeling of safety these dreamy cards create. It's easy to channel your intention into these open spaces of possibility and find what you're looking for, as well as what you might need.

Tarot Disassembled 

This vivid, solar-hued reimagining of Rider-Waite-Smith swept us off our witchy feet at first sight! Tarot Disassembled by Jennifer Cooper Steidley is a work of brilliance. Aside from the eye-catching colours, its ability to break each card down into symbolic pieces devoid of people or human characters is fantastic. This adds a sense of intuitive freedom that might sometimes be lost with the detailed human elements common in most tarot systems.
