This is Tinnekke: I will no longer be doing print runs of the deck. After struggling to put together enough orders to do a feasible run this last time, and even after over six months of pre-order time, not getting the original run and having to negotiate to get the printer to do a 40 deck run, part of which I paid for myself, and dealing with verbal abuse from a few people who felt that I owed them something because they bought decks from the fired printer before they found out about the new run, that they couldn't get refunded by the printer because the decks, while inferior, weren't defective. Considering the hundreds of hours I put into remastering the images, reformatting the book, redoing all the typeface on the cards to match the new card size, and advertising, raising awareness, and migrating the tarot deck website since the previous site provider went out of business without warning and left me in the lurch, I've decided that I'm done. The current website will be taken down at the end of the contract. The book will be removed from Lulu and Amazon. Anything after this release will solely be through Hope. There's no joy in this for me anymore.

Apologies to everyone interested in the special edition run.

We have started taking pre-orders for a 4th run of the deck! Hard to believe that in a little over a year we would be on our fourth run. We are also going to be offering a 6 week class on using the tarot as a tool of transformation, as it was intended to be.

The First Edition Set has been a great success and almost all the orders have been shipped. Due to much demand, a second run of just the deck and book will be run. The cost is $35 plus postage. US addresses will ship Priority Mail only. All other addresses will ship International First Class or International Priority Mail. We will be taking orders for the second run until September 1, 2015. To order your set, click on the Orders link above.

Pre-Order Reservations for 1st Edition Set Available! The book is in the editing process, the deck is complete, and we are ready to take reservations for the First Edition Set, which includes the Hekate Tarot Deck, the accompanying book, and a special keepsake box with art from the tarot featured on the lid. Go to the Pre-Order page on our website to reserve your copy of the deck now!

All the cards in the deck have been completed (Bless That!) and we have tried out one test layout for the printed cards, didn't like it and restarted. The second time through is complete and we are awaiting arrival of the new cards from the printer. Hoping this works. A while ago we asked if there would be interest in a special first run, and we have had enough positive response where we will be offering a special first edition of the deck and book as a set. This set will include the deck, the book, and a keepsake quality box decorated with art from the deck that is large enough to use as a container for the deck. Check back here frequently for information on how to pre-order this set. It will be available by pre-order ONLY. We have to know ahead of time how many of those keepsake boxes to order!

I have been home ill today, so when I have the energy, I have been resizing the tarot into the new format. In small doses (4-6 cards at a time with breaks between) I have managed to reformat almost the whole deck.

Hope and I are thrilled to welcome aboard Tara Sanchez as editrix extraordinaire for the book! To learn more about our wonderful editrix, you can check our hr blog: http://www.templeofhekate.net/blog/

The final image of the Major Arcana has arrived in my inbox! I am working on converting it into a card today. I want this done, and I want to move forward! Bless This! Io Hekate!
