Originally released by David Palladini in 1970, the Aquarian Tarot deck has become an iconic 78 card deck. The compelling art deco imagery in this now-classic tarot deck brought medieval tarot symbolism into the modern Aquarian age.
This deck has long been Natalie’s favorite!
While wandering around the Highlands of Scotland, Anne & Cheri came across a magical little shop that had all sorts of locally made goods. They learned from the shop owner that East End Press distributed their garlands to the States and knew they would look amazing in the shop. You can see them in our Apothecary window!
These garlands are perfect to hang year round or for a special celebration. They bring that bit of folkloric detail that is perfect for any witch’s home.
Size: garlands are all 3 meters long and have a loop at either end for easy hanging. Most designs contain 10 screen printed images with brilliant colors on both sides, The Butterfly & Moth contains 20 cut-outs.
Garlands are all sewn and made by hand in Scotland from recycled materials.
The second edition of our Carnival at the End of the World Tarot Deck is a unique, carnivalesque take on the traditional tarot by the Truppe Fledermaus. The deck includes 8 bonus images for a total of 84 cards.
The best way to experience the Carnival at the End of the World Tarot is to use the deck in conjunction with the accompanying guidebook, but each item can be sold separately.
Reminiscent of the eye of a peacock feather, this beaded treasure bursts with color and texture, embellished with beads and metallic accents. It’s captivating details exudes an aura of protection, wisdom , and insight.
