A spread of illustrated tarot cards from the Shadows of Wonderland Tarot deck, featuring cards like the Queen of Swords, Ace of Swords, Knight of Swords, King of Staves, and the Wheel of Fortune, laid out on a wooden surface.

Shadows of Wonderland Tarot

It started, like many strange and wonderful things do, with a spark of curiosity. What if Wonderland wasn’t just whimsical, but also a little twisted… a little haunting… a place where intuition is louder than logic?

We followed that idea down the rabbit hole and into the shadows, where familiar characters began to shift and shimmer into something new. Alice, the Hatter, the Queen...they all returned, but through a dreamier, darker lens. The kind you see in the liminal space between sleep and waking.

Shadows of Wonderland Tarot is the result of that journey: a deck for those who love mystery, mirror-worlds, and meaning beneath the surface. We made it for seekers, shadow dancers, and anyone who’s ever stood at a crossroads and thought, What if…? 

This isn’t your average tarot deck—and it isn’t afraid to get a little messy. Shadows of Wonderland Tarot shines when the questions are deep, the emotions tangled, and the truth hides just out of sight.

Production Update for Both Liminal Edition & BackerKit Editions!

The artwork and deck layout are officially finished and looking absolutely spellbinding. Because we are an independent press, a delay with our earlier projects has naturally created a small ripple effect in our manufacturing schedule. Shadows of Wonderland is safely third in line to hit the printing presses, right behind our upcoming Wisdom of Pooh & Tigger Too Tarot and the Earth, Moon, & Shadow 2nd Edition Print.

With this sequential lineup, our current estimate is that the deck will head to print this winter (late 2026 / early 2027). We care deeply about premium craftsmanship and refuse to cut corners or rush the birth of these tools. Thank you for your patience and for supporting small-batch, independent magic! Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes clips as the timeline progresses.
