Frequently Asked Question regarding the Majors-only deck
and its relationship to the Minors:

May 2007 - I recently received the following email:

“I’ve been following your blog for some time, and feel that I am nearing the time that I am ready to purchase a deck. But I wonder, will you be selling a ‘filler’ of all the minors for people who’ve already bought the majors, or would I do better to wait if I am most interested in a complete deck?”

Since I’ve had a number of people ask me the same question, I thought I’d post my reply here.

The Majors-only deck stands alone; I won’t have Minors to sell that “match” it or complete a set.   The reason for this is the cost of producing the handmade cards. They’re very expensive and labor-intensive to make.  The Major Arcana of 23 cards plus the booklet and bag sells for $80, and my profit for creating the art itself is a small percentage of the retail price. There are 56 cards in the Minor Arcana, so a set of matching Minors would need to be sold for nearly twice that.  It’s just too expensive, both to produce and to sell.

So you may want to wait for the entire deck to be published.  It may be published by a Tarot deck publisher, or I might self-publish the full deck and book. But if I self-publish the entire deck, I will have the cards commercially printed; they will not be handmade and will probably be smaller than they are now. 

I hope this helps you to make a decision whether or not to buy the Majors-only deck. Thanks and blessed be.
