January 16th 2024
After shipping all of the limited edition decks that were pre-ordered, we had about 270 remaining decks which we had planned to sell at full price. However there were issues with the supply of boxes. In January, we had enough boxes for about 140 decks.
To allow for different time zones, 70 of these were made available on the morning of January 16th across the two shops and sold out. The other 70 were available later that day and also sold out.
____________________________________
We will make the very last remaining decks available as soon as we have new boxes for them. Unfortunately this is likely to be in a few months time as the boxes are being made for us but we will of course let you know through our customer newsletter - if you are not already subscribed, please sign up through the pop-up window on our shop.
________________________________
This is the first time we have ever been able to offer a limited and and large format edition of The Bohemian Gothic Tarot. We think these larger decks look spectacular and we're delighted to be able to design this glorious format.
About 15 cards have been redesigned, some substantially and others less noticeably. There will be some tweaks (mainly in colouring) on all cards and of course cold-stamping - in "cold" silvery colours - will be added to all cards. The Limited Edition deck also have two extra cards - the Four of Wands and Danse Macabre.
This cult deck is a deeply atmospheric set of cards that's steeped in the dark romanticism of Victorian Gothic fantasy. The imagery doesn't follow any stories exactly, Instead it's designed to be evocative of the work of Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, Mary Shelley, M. R. James, Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson and their contemporaries. When you use these cards, we leave you to imagine your own eerie and mysterious stories - if you dare!
- This is a signed and numbered Limited Edition - 990 decks only have been printed in a strictly limited edition that will not be repeated.
- 81 fully-illustrated cards - including title card and TWO extra cards - Danse Macabre and Four of Wands.
- Many changes from the earlier editions - these vary from slight alterations of colour to extensive reimagining of imagery.
- Very large format fully illustrated cards, 165 * 100 mm (about 6.5 * 4 inches) plus a title card.
- Cold-stamped. This is an underlaid ink but gives the impression of a metallic overlay. It is NOT actually metal though, so there are no metal-allergy issues. You can see a video of how cold-stamped cards look below (these are not final cards, but the video gives an idea).
- This limited edition deck comes in a black wooden hinged box with a silver title and graphics. These boxes are made specially for us in Czech Republic. Please note that because in Europe there are now no supplies of birch from Russia, the alternative birch wood used in this box may show some grain and knots - we actually rather like that as it shows it came from a tree!
- Printed in Europe under our careful supervision.
- Printed on 330 gram European playing-card stock with an inner core to protect against bending and folding.
- Varnished with semi-matte varnish so that the varnish is not too shiny.
- A detailed booklet is included. This will have less information than the companion book that is also available, but is comprehensive enough to allow you to use the deck.
- Supplied with a printed bag in cotton. There are also some very special bags available as optional extras - also at 20% pre-order discount - see below!
We also have optional items listed separately. These include:
- Extensive and highly-illustrated companion book with coloured card illustrations.
- A selection of hand-made foldover pouches in a large size designed to fit this deck. Many of these feature very special fabrics and some are embroidered. The embroidery is designed by us and sewn in our studio in Killarney. The bags are also sewn by our own seamstresses.

FAQs on coupons.
You can only apply one discount code at a time— it's the way the shop is set up and there is no way we can over-ride that.
Please work out which discount is best for you (you can always save your reward points for another order or a free treat.)
Is there a companion book?
Yes. There is a full companion book available separately. We sell the books separately as we find that some people (for example, non English speakers) would rather buy without a book.
What other Bohemian Gothic Tarot items will be available?
However, the Limited Edition box is large, and will fit a deck that's in a bag. So you can put the LE deck inside one of our large foldovers (the ones made specially for it) and it will then be possible to put the bag containing the deck inside the large box. However, the wooden box is really very large and quite heavy, so we don't make bags big enough to hold these boxes!
With a "small-run" open edition deck, though we aren't printing nearly as many as a mass-market deck but we reserve the right to reprint in the future. It doesn't mean we definitely will reprint, but we might and so an open edition is NOT guaranteed to be limited.
