Our Deck Prototype!

I got to see our initial run of all the Cards that make up the Nikole Dominique Johnson Tarot Deck. It was super to see the whole deck as a printed product for the very first time. I am hoping to have the finished product in my hands by mid-May.

I’ve invested thousands of hours of work to create with the best possible deck and LWB and I’m so grateful for every minute spent with the intention to serve readers beautifully. I wish you many happy years spent together.

I choose an orange ombré package to channel the strong and successful energy of the Sun to the reader. I find orange a cheerful and inspirational color. Orange is the color of new beginnings, abundance, creativity, youthfulness, divination and ancestor communications. It enhances balance, memory, sharing, kindness, charm, encouragement, attraction and optimism. Orange is associated with Air and Fire, is associated with the sacral chakra and corresponds to eights of all suits. Orange promotes socialization, conversation and good times. It relieves depression and stagnation.

I paired orange with purple on my packaging to invite deep connection, wisdom and intuition to the reader. Purple is the color of Air associated with the crown chakra, the gemstone Amethyst and corresponding to the Chariot and fours of all suits. Purple soothed mental issues, severe illness and addictions. I used purple to call in deep psychic enhancing energies to the reader. Purple brings knowledge, authority and power to the user. Purple represents honor, wisdom and mysticism. Purple is a color of Spirit and was used as a symbol of royalty, wealth, status and power. Historically, purple is the color High Magic and connects the user to the Universal. It is a representation of oneness, consciousness and openness to receiving sacred knowledge.

I trimmed the deck in electric blue metallic edges. Blue is associated with Water is associated with the throat chakra, the Hierophant, the Suit of Cups, and symbolized the sky and water. Blue is associated with all blue gemstones from sapphires to lapis lazuli. Blue invites confidence, loyalty, constancy, faith, wisdom, intelligence, healing, understanding and justice. Blue can be used to inspire astral projection.

I can’t wait to get the flat uncut sheets framed and hung at my tattoo studio as a triptych.
