FAQS
Q. Why are there different editions of the Darkness of Light Tarot?
A. Each version of the Darkness of Light Tarot aims to improve the look and feel of the cards over the previous version. From card design to hand feel, from card stock to color palette, each detail is carefully considered and adjusted as necessary to continually improve the final product.
Q. What is the difference between the 3rd and 4th edition?
A. The 4th edition offers some updates in design and production quality over the 3rd edition. Specifically, it features a linen textured 330GSM black core card stock with an air pocket for easier shuffling and more durable cards, a modified card back, a re-designed easy to open deck box in flat, scratch resistant black matte, and the same artwork and card face design found in the third edition, but with a return to the black bordered design.
Q. Why doesn't my deck have shrink wrap, or appears as if its been opened?
A. Only As-Is decks should be removed from shrink wrap. "Signed" copies now include a signed card from a previous edition. Please notify me in the comments when placing the order if you'd like for your box to be signed. Note: to do this, I'll have to remove the shrink wrap.
Q. Where can I find the guidebook? Is there a digital guidebook?
A. There is a guidebook available for purchase as a standalone item on the PURCHASE page. As far as a digital copy, there was a digital guidebook available for download before the official printed version was released, but since then, the digital version has been replaced by the printed version, which is much more complete in its information and offering.
Q. What happens if my order arrives damaged, isn't what I ordered or doesn't arrive?
A. Unfortunately for whatever reason, sometimes these things happen. You can reach the studio at darknesstarot@gmail.com, and I'll work with you directly to find a solution!
Q. I'd like to order something but its out of stock!?
A. I work as quickly as I can to replace the signed decks, so check back often to make sure new stock hasn't arrived. Your best bet is to email me and I'll add you to the waiting list so you'll be notified first once they become available.
Q. How long does it take for an order to ship?
A. Most orders will ship within 24-48 hours unless there is a problem, in which case I try to contact the buyer to notify them. The package is shipped via USPS.
Q. What does the Standard Darkness of Light Tarot deck contain?
A. 78 cards featuring custom illustrations by the artist, which are thematically based on the Universal Tarot, plus an additional theme card. You'll also receive a cotton deck storage bag with your order, and a small thank you note with recommendations on how to best shuffle the deck to avoid damage.
Q. What if I'd like to purchase an original painting or something else not listed on the site?
A. Just email darknesstarot@gmail.com. I'd be glad to help however I can.
Q. Are there any other upcoming products from your studio?
A. Always! But I like to keep people guessing! ;)
Q. I find the cards inspiring and would like to collaborate.
A. Email me at darknesstarot@gmail.com!
Q. How often will the information on this website change?
A. Whenever there is a significant adjustment to the product or new collaborations, sponsors, products, news or events to announce, I'll update the website. I'll also do my best to write a blog post each holiday and keep up with significant deck events.
