Do you Love Tarot Cards?
Infinite Visions Tarot is a hand-made, self published tarot deck by tarot reader and artist Gloria Jean. If you like traditional tarot and appreciate fine art, you will love this deck.
Only a limited number of these decks can be created per month. It is unknown how long they will be available for sale. The deck is self published, therefore it may not be perfect. The print color of the cards may be darker than what you see published on this web site and what your computer screen shows.
A typical traditional Tarot deck has seventy-eight cards divided into the major and the minor arcana.
Infinite Visions tarot has 80 cards with the addition of the Dark Priestess and the Dark Magician.
Designing and producing your own tarot deck involves many steps and often takes years to complete. Only the most dedicated tarot enthusiasts will attempt such an undertaking.
Both a knowledge and interest in art and in the tarot are needed to be able to complete the project.
Infinite Visions Tarot is the perfect deck for both the beginner and the professional tarot card reader. The images are stunning and realistic and were put together using the fine art of the old masters.
The minor arcana cards are just as detailed and stunning as the Major Arcana and are divided into four suits just like a normal deck of cards.
These suits are the wands, swords, pentacles and cups. Each suit is numbered from one to ten and has four court cards, which are the Page, Knight, Queen and King.
Infinite Visions Tarot
The original deck was designed for smaller hands at 2.5" X 4."
The images on the cards have no frame around them, allowing maximum space for the image to be seen in detail.
If you would like one of these special hand crafted tarot decks, you can order from this website using Pay Pal. You can order with your credit card on Pay Pal without having a pay pal account.
The cards are printed on heavy 100 lb. matt cover with special smudge proof, fade proof ink. They shuffle nicely and lay flat. They are cut with the corners rounded at 1/8" radius.
The decks come with a little white booklet which will be inside the hand made box. Each deck also comes with a numbered, signed certificate of authenticity.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: These are home published decks and they may be darker in print than they appear on your computer screen. Please do not expect them to be perfect or to compete with professionally printed tarot cards.

It feels good to know that someone else is enjoying

Some things People have written to me about the deck:

Dearest Gloria, (September 28, 2010)
I have been meaning to write to you for the last couple of weeks and am finally getting around to it. Recently I ordered two of your decks and I just want to say how incredibly wonderul they are.
When I first saw your deck on AT I was impressed and knew at once that the artwork appealed to me, but nothing could have prepared me for the way in which these cards 'feel' in real life.
To be honest, although I loved the artwork I wasnt so sure about the backs, but now I have held them, they too are perfect.
Im not sure what little piece of magic you added in there whilst making these cards but let me say, its wonderful.
They not only are beautiful but they help me tap into the intuitive part of myself that makes reading so much deeper.
I can't thank you enough for this wonderful gift.

Hi Gloria, (September 07, 2010)
I have 2 others! One with the blue borders and the other borderless, both laminated.
I really LOVE this deck and is now my main deck. I do prefer matte decks so I wanted to get another. Not sure yet if I will continue to use the borderless laminated or swap over to the matte one. I never want to be without this gem of a deck.
I nearly got the larger one but decided to keep with the medium as it is a nice size to use. Which size do you favour?
Thank you.

Hi Gloria Jean (September 10, 2010)
I just get my beautiful deck yesterday night.
I must say that I am impressed : the pictures are even more beautiful than on the net, (and I looked so often at all of them before writing to you) : the image flow and speak, and every one of them is so brilliantly done. You may dive into them.
They are like 80 little "miniatures" or icons (sorry for my English, I am French), so exquisite. I am so very glad I splurged for the large deck, it let me look closer to all these minute details and beauty.
I really appreciate all the labor in adding the RWS element to these classical painting, many of them my favorite (Bourgereau, etc..) If I had dream of a perfect deck, it would have been very close to this one.
I really like the heavier stock also, it seems sturdier. The lamination and finish of the card are perfect, and the cutting is amazingly well done.
Thank for adding so much beauty to the World, and to the Tarot World. I am amazed that they're not more enthusiast at Aeclectic Tarot, your deck is sure a Masterpiece. Let me hope all the best for you, Peace, harmony, happiness, love and health, especially help.
Such magical hands deserve this last. Take care and thank you.

By the way, I had read dozens of tarot books and little white books, but yours is so very special. I really enjoy the twist and insight you gave to the cards. Keep being yourself, never change!

Dear Gloria Jean, (September 07, 2010)
I received the tarot deck today and just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am! My favourite card, which actually made me gasp was the Lovers. I was so impressed with your brilliant layout and all the implications and depth related to the meaning of this card. You covered so many aspects in that one little picture and assisted me in adding the same to my own future readings, with this deck as well as others. :)
Another card I really liked was your take on Judgment--it has always been one of my favourite in every deck and the meaning of this card has a special significance for me...so I know I will go back time again to visit that place you created in the card....
I just got it so I have not had time to really let it sink in: there is so much to go through like a walk in the museum--you can't take it in all at once!
I actually took advantage of the long weekend to visit the Metropolitan Museum (again) to focus on the Old Masters--after a while you need to just close your eyes and let it sink in!
You did a wonderful job too in the layout and printing--wow you acheived a true professional look to the overall composition--and the Little White Book--better known as the LWB--looks like a Scarabeo mass marketed one-- and reads like one too--so interesting, to the point and insightful--
It shows that you put in a lot of thought, detail and effort to create this deck from A to Z--I don't know how you did it!
I am glad I chose the size I did, these cards will be very portable for me when I go places to do readings, or to pull out of my purse for those impromptu readings--I love those!
They shuffle very smoothly--not too slippery/glossy or stiff and flat either--just right!
I did a few readings (of course!) and they were quite interesting! the 2 of swords kept coming up--I guess I better stop sitting on the fence! by the way, that was another brilliant card--a picture does speak a thousand words--as long as it's painted by you!
I like to ask a question while shuffling and split the pack with my left hand toward the left in three piles, then just flip them over--sounds simplistic but over the years it's proven to be very accurate and effective, don't know why. so I did a few with these cards. I had just returned from a very long day and was tired, and since I want to do justice to these cards, I shall wait until tomorrow when I am fresher to delve into the exploraration it deserves.
Well, I hope you don't find this letter too long--I am a little old school--the art of correspondence died with the advent of the email and technology, I feel but I think it's always nice to get a nice long fan letter once in a while
Fond Regards, Blessings and Many Thanks to you!
I wish you all the best in your future plans and projects and most of all joy in everything you do :)

Gloria,
I recently received my copy of the Infinite Visions Tarot and with your permission I would like to offer some feedback and ask some questions.
First, the idea of using classic paintings and then computer enhancing them to make Tarot images is brilliant. The amount of work that went into it is awesome but it has produced what is, in my opinion, the most beautiful Tarot deck I have ever seen. One of the things that struck me was how much the viewer is drawn into the scene. This was of particular interest to me since I am working on a deck of my own, also using CGI although, in my case, it is entirely CGI. I doubt that my deck is as beautiful as yours but it has a different purpose.
I was wondering if you would mind answering a couple of questions about how you are producing yours. I was mainly interested in how you are cutting the cards after they are printed. Do you use a die cutter or something else? Also the printing is excellent yet you are doing that also. What are you using? I assume you are printing at 300 dpi. It is quite well done.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Gloria Jean,
My Infinite Visions Tarot deck arrived. It's just inspiring. I love
every single card!
Thank you so much. The love and attention you put into this deck
shines out from your beautiful artwork and the image choices you made.
I'm delighted to have it.
Best,

Gloria,
Over the years I have had probably 20 different decks. But until today I have never seen a deck that has so spoken to me as did your deck. Your finely designed and beautifully executed deck hit me on an extremely emotional level and I could almost hear Grand Mothers heavily accented voice. They look nothing like either of the decks I spoke of, but like them they are unique and very beautiful. I live on a fixed income but I know that I will purchase one of your decks of Tarot cards, because card reading is as natural to me as breath. It might take me as long as a month to save for them...possibly a bit longer, but not much more time. I would like to say Thank-You for creating and marketing your beautiful and so artistically individually interpreted cards.
Until next month.....
Sincerely Yours,
Arloine Barker

Hi Gloria Jean,
I'm on the TarotL list (my most recently posted item was about the new US Games Crowely decks) and was reading the discussion surrounding your keys. (I'm glad you found them:-) Anyway, until just now I hadn't had time to click on the link and actually look at your deck.
WOW! Was I ever blown away! I have the equivalent of a B.F.A. (i.e., 48 cr. hours of undergrad art courses), am married to a retired Art Historian (I've gone to a lot of museums:-)), and I'm an artist myself (at one time I ran a business doing portraits of champion show dogs and horses, and after a 15 year hiatus due to grad school I'm starting up a studio for painting on silk), although I actually teach psychology for income. In short, I have enough background to know good when I see it, and you're good!

Gloria,
I just received my copy of Infinite Visions Tarot. It is beautiful and I am loving some of the nuances that the art gives some of the cards. Thanks for speedy shipping.

Greetings,
I just bumped into your deck as I was doing a little research for a tarot class I am teaching. My Goddess! They are breath-taking. They speak to me like no other deck. I was a little confused, are they available to purchase at this time? You mentioned you were tiring of hand-making the decks and were working on the handbook so I wasn't sure. Will they be picked up for mass marketing?
If you have an email list, or can let me know when you have cards available, I would appreciate it. Expect some website hits; I have a couple classes who will drool over these.......
Namaste,
Rhonda Rhose

Gloria!
I have received your Tarot and I absolutely love it. I love the fact that its handmade and the artwork is so strong, elegant and beautiful. It is my favourite deck (and I have many!).
Thank you so much!
