Here's a preview of upcoming Tarot books, decks and bags for the latter part of 2008. Rachel Pollack will be coming out with two new releases (Tarot Wisdom and a re-issue of the Vertigo Tarot), and David Skibbins will be out with the fourth installment of his Tarot Card Mysteries series called The Hanged Man.
The much-anticipated second book in the Song of Montsegur series The Last Quest by Derek Armstrong comes out in October 2008, as does my Back in Time Tarot Book. Several Tarot decks will be coming out, too, including the Tarot for Hip Witches Kit, Frank Fradella's Undersea Tarot, Mystic Dreamer Tarot (with text by The Tarot Channel's own Barbara Moore) and the Initiatic Tarot of the Golden Dawn.
Below is the complete list for upcoming releases for Summer-Winter 2008. If you know of any other upcoming Tarot releases, please let us know!
The Undersea Tarot?! How cool is that?
It'd occurred to me not long ago that I couldn't think of a water-based (for lack of a better term) deck. Figures someone had one in the works!

Yes, I will be looking for that one, too! Although the Golden Dawn Tarot looks really interesting as well....

Thanks for featuring the Quantum Tarot along with your autumn releases :)
This is an exciting new venture for us, as it's Kunati's first foray into tarot. They've already shown form by producing Derek Armstrong's tarot-related novel, "The Last Troubadour" (first in the Song of Montsegur series mentioned above) and I know they have at least one more deck planned for release in spring 2009...

Isn't how that goes, Elizabeth? You have an idea and then see it everywhere... Hehehe.
There's not much info. available about the Undersea Tarot. I only knew about it because it's in U.S. Games latest catalogue...
You're very welcome, Kay! I very much look forward to seeing the Quantum Tarot!

The Undersea Tarot is from Frank Fradella, the same guy who brought us the comic-book-super-hero-themed Fradella Adventure Tarot, also from US Games. I saw some sketches for the Undersea Tarot on Frank's website, but I go to the site now and it looks like it's been shut down, as has his website for his Cyber Age Adventures.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that the Undersea Tarot is coming to the surface.
