New Tarot Decks feature intriguing artwork

If you haven't been to Beads N Botanicals in downtown Urbana, IL in a while, you've got to stop in. Why? Because there's lots of fun & fascinating new items at the shop.

In addition to carrying the "standard" decks, such as the Rider Tarot and Thoth Tarot decks or Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards, we have many "nonstandard" but beautifully drawn oracle and tarot decks including the following decks:

In The Archeon Tarot deck, Artist Timothy Lantz has skillfully woven together intriguing elements from mythology and mysticism to create a hauntingly beautiful tarot deck.  For each card in this 78-card deck, Lantz’s booklet offers a thoughtful quote leading into the interpretation, with an upright and inverted meaning given. 

Newly published tarot with beautiful imagery. The Tarot of the Hidden Realm evokes the powerful wisdom of the fae. This powerful deck uses the raw elements—water, air, fire, and earth—to speak directly to one's emotions. The beautifully drawn figures follow the Rider Waite style, but express more energy and movement.
