The Dreamer's Arcana is a 36-card, non-traditional arcana deck that takes its inspiration from dream logic and fantasy. It explores facets of the tarot that are rarely highlighted in traditional decks, and invites the reader to step off the beaten path and into the wilds of imagination.

The Dreamer's Arcana is textless and numberless, allowing readers to use their preferred names and order when working with it. All cards in the Dreamer's Arcana share the same reversible back, and artwork is borderless.
Thanks to the stretchgoals unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign, the deck currently contains 14 alternate art cards. These explore different facets of the same major cards, and allow you the flexibility to choose which representation you prefer (or to expand your major arcana to include additional cards!)
The current plan is to add an additional 8 alternate art cards to the deck, bringing the Dreamer's Arcana up to a full double major arcana deck, allowing for a variety of unique spreads and reading techniques, plus full flexibility in how you use the deck for regular readings.

The Dreamer's Arcana will be printed at 3"x4.25", which is a size in between the traditional Tarot card and the standard 'oversized' deck. This size is perfect for showcasing the brilliant artwork, while still being a very comfortable size for shuffling and handling the deck.
The Dreamer's Arcana will be printed on glossy 330gsm black core cardstock, and will also include a detailed guidebook, containing Apolline's artwork in full colour and an exploration of every card in the deck (including the alternate art cards).
Every copy of the Dreamer's Arcana will also come with a digital version of the guidebook.

Liliana is an Australian creator, who has always been fascinated by the patterns and symbolism of the tarot. Her first deck was an original copy of The Mythic Tarot (which probably explains her attraction to nontraditional decks). The Dreamer's Arcana is her first tarot project, which she hopes to expand into a full 78-card tarot with complete minor suits.
You can follow her projects (including the Dreamer's Arcana) on her Instagram.
