The Ink Witch Tarot Deck is a traditionally illustrated watercolor and ink tarot deck which draws imagery from ancient mythology, European folklore, Arthurian legends, pagan witches, and the subtle but power magic of the modern world. It features a color palette of cool grays and warm sepia tones, with an emphasis on hand-drawn illustrated aesthetics.
The new second edition Ink Witch base deck includes 78 standard cards, 3 extra alternate versions of the Lovers, 3 extra alternate versions of the Devil, and two versions of a unique un-numbered card, the Witch.
The new edition of the deck not only includes extra cards, but also a few new pieces of artwork that have been changed from the first edition. Each card has been edited to feature a brighter, more saturated color palette with neater, crisper artwork. The back of the cards has also been redesigned from the first edition to be reversible.
These 86 cards are packaged in rigid magnetic clam-shell box with a keywords reference insert. They are standard tarot size (2.75 by 4.75 inches,) and are printed on flexible yet durable S30 Standard Smooth card stock with a semi-matte “MPC Game Card Finish.” They are perfect for both riffle and overhand shuffling. The deck includes an insert for referencing keywords for each card, and a full-sized colored guidebook is available separately, or can be downloaded for free at ericmaille.com/downloads.
