A blank deck is a tool for making, and there are several reasons people reach for one. Some are designing a tarot or oracle deck of their own and want proper card stock to draw or collage on before committing to printing. Some are students of tarot who learn the cards best by drawing each one themselves, meaning and image together, which fixes them in memory far better than reading a book. Some want a purely personal oracle, their own symbols and associations, with no inherited system at all.

The eighty-count is generous: a full tarot is 78, so this covers a standard deck with a couple to spare for mistakes or extra cards. Whatever your project, the blank card is simply the canvas. What goes on it, and what it comes to mean, is entirely yours, and that is the whole of the pitch. We are not going to claim the blank stock does energy work; it does whatever you make it do.

1. Decide the project. A full 78-card tarot, a personal oracle, or a study set of hand-drawn cards.
2. Draw, paint, collage, or write. The face takes pencil, ink, paint, and glued paper. Test your medium on one card first.
3. Build meaning as you go. Note what each card means to you in a journal as you make it; that record becomes your guidebook.
4. Seal them if you like. A light fixative or sleeve protects hand-drawn faces from smudging in the shuffle.
5. Read them like any deck. Once made, they shuffle and lay out exactly as a printed deck does.

• Morgan-Greer Tarot Deck. A clear Rider-Waite-Smith deck to study from while you design your own.
• Lapis Lazuli Rune Set. Another symbol system to draw inspiration from for a personal oracle.
• White Selenite Wand. To rest a finished deck on between readings.
• Clear Quartz Points, 1 lb. Clarity for the reading, once the deck is built.
• White Sage Smudge Stick. To clear the space for design or reading.

Are the cards really blank? Yes, entirely: no images, no meanings, no borders. Eighty blank tarot-sized cards for you to make into a deck.

Is there a book? No. There is nothing to explain, because the meanings are the ones you assign. Many people keep a journal that becomes their own guidebook.

Why 80 and not 78? A full tarot is 78 cards; the extra two give you room for mistakes or for adding cards of your own.

What can I draw with? Pencil, ink, paint, and collage all work on the stock. Test your medium on one card first, and consider a light fixative to stop hand-drawn faces smudging.

Who is it for? Deck designers, tarot students who learn by drawing, and anyone who wants a fully personal oracle rather than an inherited system.
