The Craft Felt Tarot Deck + Book of Haiku

The Craft Felt Tarot Deck is a complete 78-card tarot set that stands out with its distinctive artistic medium: hand-cut craft felt. Each card's imagery is meticulously crafted from layers of felt, giving the illustrations a soft, textured, and almost three-dimensional quality. This approach brings a playful and approachable aesthetic to the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism, making classic scenes feel fresh and inviting.

Accompanying the deck is a unique guidebook, presented as a book of 78 haiku poems. Each haiku corresponds to a specific card, offering a concise, evocative, and often metaphorical interpretation rather than a literal explanation. This encourages intuitive engagement with the cards, inviting readers to ponder the poem and connect it with the visual felt art. The combination of tactile art and poetic guidance creates a reading experience that is both whimsical and deeply personal.

Launched successfully on Kickstarter in 2024, the deck garnered significant support from 680 backers, raising over $42,000. This indicates a strong appeal for its innovative artistic style and the creative approach to its interpretive guide. The Craft Felt Tarot is designed for those who appreciate handmade aesthetics and seek a deck that offers a gentle, yet profound, pathway into tarot wisdom.

This deck is ideal for tarot enthusiasts who appreciate unique, handcrafted art and are looking for a deck with a distinct, whimsical aesthetic. It appeals to collectors of indie decks and those who enjoy a more intuitive, less rigid approach to card interpretation, facilitated by the haiku guidebook. It could also be a delightful entry point for beginners who are drawn to its friendly, non-intimidating style, especially if they are open to poetic guidance rather than extensive prose.

Gianna Lucci created The Craft Felt Tarot Deck, bringing a distinctive artistic vision to the world of divination. Her inspiration for using hand-cut craft felt as the primary medium stems from a desire to combine traditional tarot with a unique, tactile, and playful aesthetic. The decision to pair the felt imagery with a book of haiku poems for the guidebook further highlights her innovative approach, aiming to foster intuitive connection and personal reflection for each card.
