About the Blood & Ink Tarot
The Blood & Ink Tarot is a channelled deck, you could say a collaboration between myself and an Unseen who worked through me, fiercely and rapidly over the course of a single weekend just after Imbolc 2020. The wheel has now gone full circle. and it is time to release the deck into the world.
This is a tarot deck that wants to be used for sorcery and things that may only be done under cover of darkness. It’s images are bright, fluid, textured and immediately striking. They will get into your dreams and under your skin.
The hand that guided my own in the creation of this deck included various potent materia magicae in the print making process: mugwort, whiskey, graveyard dirt, hagstones, amanita muscaria, blood ink, wormwood, myrrh resin, valerian root, iron nails, snake bones, snake shed.
You start to get the idea.
I talk more about the process behind the deck on SpiritBox with Darragh Mason Field here.
Over the course of the year, I worked with the cards in dreams and ritual and discovered their language. A sigil was developed for clear vision and communication with the cards, which potentises them as a collection of servitors. This sigil will only ever be shared with this first print run and is included in handpainted in myrrh ink on premium, handmade, cotton-rag paper.
I offer this first limited edition in premium 350 gsm matte card stock printed at A6 size (105mm x 148mm) – perfect for meditation, ritual and visionary work. A smaller standard sized tarot deck, suited for daily use, will be available soon.
