As a Libra Sun, I am a huge visual arts fan, and to me, collecting card decks is just like collecting art. The intricate artwork and details on each card are a sight to behold, and I can’t help but admire them every time I get a new deck. As a tarot enthusiast myself, I know how important it is to find unique and high-quality decks that resonate with your personal style and energy. That’s why I’ve scoured the internet to compile a list of the best places to purchase indie tarot decks in Australia.
Before we begin, I’d like to note how amazing it is to think that since the 15th century, there have been thousands of unique tarot decks created. The Tarot Museum in Belgium alone boasts a collection of over 2,500 decks and that’s just a fraction of what’s out there today!
For those who love contemporary indie tarot deck designs, there are some amazing artist-published decks available that are rare and exclusive. You can usually purchase them online directly from the creator, but unfortunately, for those of us in Australia, many indie creators are based overseas, so it can take a while for the cards to arrive.
Although indie decks can be hard to source locally, it’s not impossible. There are a handful of retailers (both online and in-store) who stock rare and one-of-a-kind tarot and oracle decks. I’m excited to share with you some of the best places I’ve discovered to buy indie tarot decks online in Australia.
