Well today I go public with the news that my tarot deck The Pearls of Wisdom Tarot, is now officially out of print. The publisher 7th House, no longer has the right to print, sell or publish my deck anymore.
A little history... the first edition of 10,000 decks was flawed, most of those decks ended up in the Houston landfill (at least that is what I was told, there was no proof of this sent to me) The second edition also had issues different than the first edition, but still problems with it. These were the result of decisions made by the publisher. In this past year she also quit supplying the deck to Amazon.com, and priced jumped up for resellers (good for them but I see none of that $). Then she told the distributor that the deck was out of print, so not acting in good faith. On top of all of that, she has not paid me for over a year. So she violated the contract in many ways. A letter from a lawyer has been sent. She has still not complied. Please do not support her in anyway.
As you can imagine, this has been very difficult. I am hopeful that I will be able to find a new publisher who will see the beauty of my deck and recognize how many people love the deck, which received many 5 star reviews. Feedback that I received was always favourable, and the Pearls of Wisdom deck stands alone in the world of Tarot. Not a clone of any other deck, it is very good for readings as the images are uplifting and positive.
If you have my deck and liked it, and would love to see a new high quality gold gilded deck please drop me a message so I can add it to the package I will send to the publishers. I want to take the Pearls of Wisdom tarot more global, (for a short while it was available world wide and did very well) I think the Pearls deck is the kind of deck that is needed in the world today with it's upbeat and optimistic message. I am very optimistic that it will be an amazing 3rd edition wish me luck everyone.
