Cartomancer has a tarot feeling. The aces have a magick sigil, the borders of the 54 faces are in gold. The Gatekeeper variant is a limited edition that will have the same cards as Cartomancer, its own tuckbox, a commemorative card with number and signature, and a miniature of the gate in painted resin. Through the cutout on the tuck-box you can see the gate, and through the opening of the gate can you see the number.

Play cards as they used to do in 1800's with a modern and esoteric touch. The deck was printed by the USPCC.

Inspired by the works of William Shakespeare, this deck is based on the themes prevalent in his work: Life and Death. The themes of life and death are represented with the motif of Thorns and Roses. Thorns embodies the pain of loss and death found in these works, while the Roses the sweetness of love and life. The decks feature four of Shakespeare's best known works: Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth and King Lear. The Roses deck interprets these characters with an item of significance while the Thorns deck depicts their method of death (it's a lot of deaths.)
