An exceptionally beautiful deck by Arthur Wang. The purchase price is $85 and you get the deck, which is waterproof!, a booklet, and high quality box with a magnetic latch. You can also purchase a pack of 3 cards for $8 to see and feel them before committing to the larger purchase. The cards are made with the latest print and card finishing technology, making them heirloom quality.
Here is the biography of the creator, from his site (https://trueblacktarot.com/about):
TrueBlack is the brainchild of Arthur Wang, designer and illustrator. Growing up in NYC’s myriad mix of cultures, lifestyles, and beliefs, it was easy for him to become fascinated with the occult from a young age.
Books of anthropological folklore, paranormal studies, and witchcraft throughout all ages and geographical locations filled his shelves, and from there, the marriage of the occult studies with his design background was an easy connection to make. He has since been working full-time in product design while creating True Black.
All designs, illustrations, logistics, photography, and production is handled by Arthur. I am actually writing in the 3rd person right now, and it’s a little weird.
