The Linen Edition is now available with a full-size Guidebook for a discount. Simply make your selection above for an instant discount. This option was introduced in 2024 because Mari really wants the Guidebook to be a part of the experience and this is our way of making it more accessible. (This reduced price may change in the future if we’re 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 three staff on the Gentle Tarot team.)
Introducing the Gentle Tarot Linen Edition! Inspired by the common playing card deck, this edition comes in a modified size (70mm x 105mm) that makes riffle shuffling easy for all hand sizes. The linen finish allows for the smoothest Gentle Tarot experience to date! The cards are printed using FSC Certified art paper as an effort to limit the use of non-renewable paper sources. Please note that the card stock is not comparable to the durability of the First Edition or Pocket Edition. This deck is meant to be easier on a budget and also more suitable for those with arthritic hands. My aim was to create a Gentle Tarot edition that is high quality but able to reach a broader spectrum of people, including those who come from a similar background as myself where money is not very disposable.
The PDF guidebook is available via the QR code behind the sticker sheet inside the deck. The guidebook comes with English, Spanish, and Russian versions, with French and Portuguese 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 and want to let them know that a Linen Edition deck is on the way. As always, a portion of proceeds are donated to environmental conservation.
Gentle Tarot decks include a total of 89 cards. There are 81 tarot cards, including an extra Major Arcana card and two Lovers card options (non-human butterfly and gender-neutral human). 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.
