Wait until you see these best and unique Indie decks! But first, some of you might wonder why they cost more money than the ones sold at the store. Let me explain this.

Many of the mainstream decks sold online and at stores are from US Games Systems, Llewellyn Worldwide, Hay House (now a division of Penguin Random House), and other major companies. These companies can order thousands upon thousands of decks for around $6.00 each from printers in China or other countries, and they have the storage for them. Then these companies can sell them to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, metaphysical stores, and more for $10.00 to $15.00. The realtors sell them to their customers for $24.95 or more depending upon the size of the deck.

Now, the average indie deck creator rarely has the money, storage, retail connections, or gigantic customer lists like Amazon and other stores. They either order on-demand-printing (one at a time) or possibly a hundred or more decks at a time for a much higher price than if they ordered by the thousands.

This is why many indies use Kickstarter to help fund their decks. And even with fundraising, their decks are usually more than retail stores.

I hope you now understand why they’re a higher price. Please remember that instead of millions of people owning the same deck, indie decks are rarely owned by a thousand people. Thus, making them more special.

Four Best and Unique Indie Decks

My collection of decks is a mixture of Lenormand, oracle, rune, and tarot decks. Many are mainstream, but I do own indie decks too.

Without further ado, here they are.

You Are the Spell

I met Thorn T. Coyle in a Kickstarter Facebook group. Thorn is a warm, friendly, and very helpful human being. When I saw this unique deck on a post in the group, I wrote a comment saying I had the want-wants.

Obviously, I was one of the backers. What is amazing about this deck is how accurate the message is each time I use it!

Wise Writer Within

Writer Megan Barnhard created this beautiful deck, and Nixie Foster did the artwork. I love pulling a card from this deck on days I plan to write all day. These cards are very inspiring!

This deck is for you if you want to write, have writer’s block, or write every day.

You can learn more about Wise Writer Within on Megan Barnhard’s website.

Tarot of the Steampunk Pussyquats

Doug of Tarot By Duck Soup has a Facebook group, which I am a member of. I am in awe of his talent and all the decks he has created!

He showed some samples of this deck in the group, and this crazy cat lady couldn’t wait until he finished the deck. Waiting, waiting, waiting, and finally Doug completed the deck.

This pussyquats deck is so unique and comes in a tin box with a card divider. Oh, you get to choose what back you want for the cards!

Merlin’s Purrfect Lenormand

Yuppers, one of mine is on the list for the four best and unique indie decks. I love, love, love this deck because it features my soulmate cat, Merlin. It broke my heart when he passed on February 6, 2021.

To celebrate his life, I created this deck while studying to become a certified Lenormand reader.

I made each card from a photo of Merlin and an image for the card’s meaning. For example, a picture of birds with Merlin on the Bird card. These cards are poker-sized because I wanted to make it easier for those who do the grand tableau spread, which uses all thirty-six cards.

Final Thoughts

So, which card do you have the want-wants for? All four? Order a deck or two for yourself and/or as a gift. And let me know how their messages help you.
