Question by Amy the (Hopefully) Helpful: How do you make your own Tarot deck?
I am interested in making my own Tarot deck, rather than buying one and/or printing one off the internet. Does anyone know of a website that might help? Do you know what symbols must be present in a deck on a specific card? Please help me!

You are playing with fire whenever you dabble in the occult.
each time you do a reading or get a reading, you will take on tormenting demons.
and the rest of your life will be worse then it ever was.
Because the devil does not like anyone,. but he likes to ensnare you.
repent and get saved for the Name of Jesus is the only way to be free from demons

Be prepared for the fundies putting the Tarot down, happens to every Tarot question.
The Rider Waite deck is based on the old French deck and all the others. It is rich in symbolism. The patterns of background colors etc. Yes it is possible to just write the names of the 22 major arcana on a ordinary deck of cards, but so much more feeling is got from the brightly colored picture cards.
I don’t know what the copyright is, I doubt Rider Waite is getting any. At wiki there are high definition cards you could fit to 2 or 3 or 4 A4 sheets of paper and glue carefully onto cardboard. Tarot major arcana at wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Arcana

I think you should be familiar with an established Tarot deck before you try making your own. A personalised Tarot deck contains symbols that are highly personal to the designer and/or are based on a specific theme for the whole deck. The general meanings and structure are usually the same as those of an established deck such as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and there are plenty of websites with details of these cards.
