The Linen Edition is now available for purchase with the full-size Guidebook at a reduced price. Simply make your selection above to receive an instant discount. This option was introduced because Mari really wants the Guidebook to be a part of the Gentle Tarot experience and this is our way of making it more accessible. (Pricing may change in the future if we are not able to meet our financial responsibilities as a company. This business supports Mari as a full-time artist/independent publishing house as well as two staff on the Gentle Tarot team.)
Introducing the Gentle Tarot Linen Edition! Inspired by the common playing card deck, the Linen Edition comes in a modified size (70mm x 105mm) that makes riffle shuffling easy for all hand sizes as well as those with arthritic hands. The linen finish allows for the smoothest Gentle Tarot experience to date. The idea behind this edition was to create a deck that is still high quality but easier on the budget and therefore more accessible to a broader spectrum of people, including those who come from a similar background as myself where money is not very disposable. Please note that the durability of the card stock is not comparable to that of the other editions. The cards are printed on FSC-certified art paper in an effort to limit our use of non-renewable paper sources.
The PDF guidebook is available via the QR code behind the sticker sheet inside the deck. The guidebook comes in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian, with French to be added soon!
In order to maintain the card stock, we recommend alternating shuffling between art face down and art face up.
Feel free to use the Gift Note available here if you are purchasing this deck for a loved one. As always, a portion of proceeds are donated to environmental conservation.

The additional 8 cards are a colorful batch of Quick Reference Keys, Sample Spreads, Opening and Closing Intentions, as well as a personal note and link to the PDF Guidebook.
