The LifeDeck of Kelcross Tarot

The LifeDeck of Kelcross Tarot is a 78-card deck rooted in the fantasy world of Kelcross, where lands and people are imbued with elemental energies. Designed by Serge Gagnon, a professional tarot reader and teacher, the deck aims to merge his passions for tarot and gaming while maintaining the integrity of both. The deck is presented as a wizard's tool for channeling internal elemental wisdom, helping users recognize and transform life patterns.

The deck is structured around four elemental suits—Fire, Water, Air, and Earth—each illustrated by a different artist. The Major Arcana, referred to as 'Majum,' is also handled by a dedicated artist. This collaborative artistic approach creates a diverse visual experience within a cohesive elemental theme. The campaign emphasizes the deck's role as a reminder of gained knowledge, with its power stemming from the user's ability to channel wisdom rather than the cards themselves.

Although the Kickstarter campaign did not reach its funding goal, the creator expressed an intention to make the deck available through print-on-demand services like The Game Crafter. The project also includes 'The Kelcross Academy,' a Facebook page intended to provide ongoing support, share tarot spreads, and offer background stories about the elemental wizards and the world of Kelcross.

This deck is ideal for tarot readers interested in fantasy themes, particularly those who appreciate elemental magic and world-building within their divination tools. It appeals to experienced readers looking for a deck with a unique lore system and a collaborative art style. Gamers who also engage with tarot may find the 'Kelcross' world intriguing, especially with the mention of a companion game, 'The Wizards Path.'

Serge Gagnon, the designer of The LifeDeck of Kelcross Tarot, has been reading tarot professionally for over 15 years and teaching its use as a meditative tool for six years, with a total of 30 years of experience. His long-standing passion for both tarot and gaming inspired him to create a project that would respectfully merge these two genres. The LifeDeck is the result of this vision, brought to life with the help of local artists, and intended to be the first project in the larger world of Kelcross.
