Card of the Month: The World
The final card of the Major Arcana. A never-ending dance of life. The World indicates success and completion. This offers a chance to start again.
As you know I always bring my tarot cards and witchy goodies to every event. I was at the Hamilton Psychic and Crystal Fair this past weekend and I was asked why my cards were more expensive than the ones seen online. This was a wonderful opportunity to talk about the unscrupulous people who counterfeit tarot decks.
So, what is a counterfeit deck? Well, this is a maddening happening in our community. First off, counterfeit anything is wrong!! In the tarot community, it means that the creators of the decks, the artists and the authors are not being paid for their hard work. The process of creating a deck takes time; it can take years. Then, getting them to the publisher and polished up, printed, advertised, and distributed is a long and involved process. Don’t these people deserve to be compensated?? If you have ever seen a counterfeit deck, it is obvious. So, here are some things to look for:
Box: Most boxes on these decks are flimsy tuck boxes, although there are legitimate decks with tuck boxes. See the point above.
Book: Or lack of one. Counterfeit decks usually have a QR code on the box and no book.
Cardstock: This is more difficult to see when you see a deck online. Trust me, these decks are not well made. It is the cheapest possible cardstock they can find.
Images: The images on counterfeit decks are usually cloudy or out of focus. This is because the images are not from the artist but a picture or photocopy of the authentic cards.
These are just a few of the ways to know if the deck you have is genuine. A genuine, authentic reader will always have genuine, authentic cards.
