Explore the world of tarot with the magic of poetry with Taroetry! This is the first publicly-available project from Arcana Obscura, an art collective grounded in tarot, poetry, and visual arts.
Find us on instagram! @arcanaobscura
Our pre-order store is now available below for those who didn't get a chance to back us on Kickstarter (and shipping is now available internationally!).
Taroetry is an illustrated book of rhymed poetry about tarot based on the structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. In making this book, we seek to make the ritual of self-reflection through tarot accessible to all.
Check out our Kickstarter for more details about this project.

We've launched a new website for Arcana Obscura where we'll be selling Taroetry online. If you want another copy, check it out through the link above (it's also linked through the project's Kickstarter page).
Also... let us know what you think about the book!
We're so grateful for the support of our Kickstarter backers! We'd like to let other tarot lovers know how Taroetry might fit into their practice in your words, so let us know what you think here.
Keep your eyes peeled for future projects down the line! For now, we're off to daydream about all of the places our work could go...
Peace & Love,
Hannah & Cassandra

On their way to be shipped!
When you finally get your copy, please let us know what you think! You can message us here on Kickstarter or follow us on Instagram (@arcanaobscura) or Twitter (@taroetry). If you feel so inclined, you can create a post with a review on either of these platforms. Don't forget to tag us!
Please also let folks know they can still order their own copy through our Backerkit store (even though it says "pre-order," the store itself is still open): https://taroetry.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
We will be updating you on our reflections about this process in the coming months, so this won't be the last you hear from us on this platform. Just know for now that we are eternally grateful for the opportunity our backers gave us to bring our vision to life.

Hello Taroetry backers!
Exciting news: we have the printed copies of Taroetry, and we have begun the process of preparing shipments! We cannot wait to share this beauty with you - the formatting and printing refinement process created a beautifully perfect-bound, velvety-covered book. It's a dream come true for us!
Reminder: orders will lock on Backerkit in 48 hours, so make sure to update your shipping information.

Hello Taroetry backers!
Printing for Taroetry will begin in the next week, so we are ready to update our fulfillment timeline. Here's what to expect in the next months:
Locking surveys: If you need to update your address or add-on anything to your order (getting an extra copy for a holiday gift, perhaps?), please update and/or complete your survey through Backerkit by NOVEMBER 9th. If you order anything extra or if you pre-ordered additional items through Backerkit, we will be charging cards that following week.
Reward Fulfillment: We are aiming to begin reward fulfillment (emailing PDFs, contacting those receiving tarot readings, shipping books and bookmarks) by December2nd. We appreciate you patience!
Let us know if you have questions!
Hannah & Cassie
P.S. Here's a video of our sample copy (this one isn't bound, and the cover isn't coated, but you get the idea of the final product!):

Exciting news! We're getting ready to review our print proof of Taroetry before we give the go-ahead for Col-Tab Inc. to print 500 copies of this beauty!
We'll keep you updated with our timeline, but... if you haven't filled out your survey on Backerkit, please be sure to do so!
We're still waiting on 16 backers to fill out their survey.
Don't worry! We won't lock the surveys until we have our copies ready to be shipped, so you can still make adjustments to your survey (if, for example, your address changes).
We'll keep you posted about other fulfillments (PDFs, tarot readings, etc.) as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience as we figure out this crowd-funding game. :)
