Reprint the Rabbit Tarot

The Rabbit Tarot, Third Edition, is a complete 78-card tarot deck created by Seattle artist Nakisha VanderHoeven. This edition, funded through Kickstarter in 2014, represents a refined version of her most popular deck, originally created in 2009. The deck reimagines the classic 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana through the world of the Little White Rabbit and the Dutch (black and white) Rabbit, making it suitable for all ages and appealing to rabbit enthusiasts, art collectors, and those young at heart.

A key feature of the Rabbit Tarot is its unique suit renaming: Pentacles become Daisies, Swords become Carrots, Cups become Tulips, and Wands become Sticks (Clubs). This creative adaptation integrates the rabbit theme deeply into the deck's structure while still maintaining the underlying tarot framework. The Third Edition includes minor changes from its predecessor, such as clearer and more consistent color and clarity in the artwork, a larger box to accommodate a printed document of basic descriptions, and shrink-wrapping for protection.

The deck is designed to be accessible, with card sizes comparable to poker playing cards (2.5" x 3.5" or 6.25 x 8.75cm), making them easy to handle. VanderHoeven's commitment to quality is evident in her decision to print the decks in the USA, ensuring a good finished product. This edition aims to continue offering this beloved deck to the public, building on its history as a best-seller among her various tarot creations.

This deck is ideal for tarot collectors who appreciate unique, themed decks, especially those with a fondness for rabbits or whimsical art. It also suits beginners looking for an approachable and less intimidating entry into tarot, as the animal imagery and renamed suits offer a fresh perspective on traditional meanings. Art collectors and individuals seeking a deck with a gentle, charming aesthetic will find this edition appealing.

Nakisha VanderHoeven is a Seattle artist with a history of creating several tarot decks, including the Badger's Forest Tarot, which was also successfully funded on Kickstarter. The Rabbit Tarot was her very first deck, created in 2009, and has remained her best-selling and most popular. This Kickstarter campaign was launched to fund a third printing of the deck, driven by its continued popularity and the near sell-out of the Second Edition. Her experience in shipping artwork globally for over 20 years, primarily through Etsy, underscores her confidence in managing the production and distribution of this new edition.
