15 Best Tarot Card Publishers (And Deck Printers)

A tarot deck is a book, an art portfolio and a product all at once, so the publisher you choose shapes how your cards look, feel and reach readers. Here are 15 tarot card publishers and deck printers, with how to approach each one.

The companies below fall into two groups. Traditional publishers, such as Llewellyn, U.S. Games Systems and Red Wheel/Weiser, review proposals, pay for production and put your deck into bookshops and metaphysical stores. Card manufacturers, such as Cartamundi, Shuffled Ink and Acelion, print the deck you design and pay for, which suits a crowdfunded or self-published project. Know which route you want before you write to anyone. For a wider view, browse my collection of 3,000 publishing entities.

Submission policies change without notice, so check the publisher’s own page before you send anything, and never pay a reading fee. Last verified: October 1, 2026.

Here are the best tarot card publishers:

1. US Games Systems, Inc

U.S. Games Systems is a publisher in Connecticut, founded in 1968 and best known for the Rider-Waite tarot. Its catalog runs from classic decks to contemporary tarot, oracle and inspiration cards, plus card games and books such as Pamela Colman Smith: The Untold Story.

U.S. Games accepts deck proposals through its product submission guidelines.

Lo Scarabeo is an Italian tarot publisher based in Turin, founded in 1987.

The name means “The Scarab,” the Egyptian symbol of transformation, which fits a list built around spiritual exploration.

Lo Scarabeo accepts project proposals by email at the submissions address on its contact page. Include artwork and a short description of the project and of yourself. It does not review portfolios and replies only when a proposal interests the team.

3. Llewellyn Publications

Llewellyn is a publisher in Minnesota and describes itself as the oldest and largest publisher for body, mind and spirit, with roots going back to 1901. Its list covers astrology, tarot, magic, witchcraft, paganism, meditation, energy work and psychic development, and it publishes tarot card decks as well as tarot books.

Llewellyn is open to submissions directly from authors, including first-time authors, and an agent is not required. Read its manuscript submission guidelines first: it publishes no fiction, memoir, poetry or children’s books, and it does not publish manuscripts created with AI.

4. Insight Editions

Insight Editions is a book publisher in the Bay Area, California, known for illustrated books, collectibles and official companions to films, television, games and comics. Its tarot line follows the same approach: licensed decks with guidebooks built around worlds such as Wicked and Agatha All Along, alongside original decks made with commissioned artists.

Insight Editions lists no open route for unsolicited deck proposals. Its creative team does hire freelance illustrators, especially artists with fantasy and comic book experience, through the address on its contact page, which is the realistic way in for a tarot artist.

5. Blue Angel Publishing

Blue Angel Publishing is a publishing company in Australia, based in Victoria. Its first major title, the Universal Love Healing Oracle by Toni Carmine Salerno, grew into a catalog of oracle and tarot decks, books and recordings on angels, goddesses, astrology and sacred geometry, part of a wider list of books and decks related to spirituality.

Blue Angel is not accepting new author submissions at present, according to its contact page. It suggests checking back in the future, so keep it on your watch list.

7. Hay House

Hay House is a publishing company specializing in self-help, founded by Louise Hay in Carlsbad, California, to publish her book Heal Your Body. It now produces books, audio, card decks, calendars and online courses on self-improvement, spirituality, health and metaphysics, and its oracle and tarot decks are among the best-selling in the category.

Hay House does not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Its submission guidelines route projects through literary agents, or through writers who have attended one of its writing courses or workshops.

8. Rockpool Publishing

Rockpool Publishing is an Australian mind, body and spirit publisher and part of the Moore Street Media group. It is particularly known for tarot and oracle decks, each sold with a companion guide, alongside books on crystals, dreams, meditation and natural healing.

Send a cover letter with a short blurb-style synopsis, a table of contents, sample material and any artwork. You can find the form linked from the footer of Rockpool’s own site.

Inner Traditions is an independent publisher in Rochester, Vermont, founded in 1975. It publishes books and card decks on spirituality, the occult, indigenous traditions, alternative health and consciousness, and its imprints include Bear & Company, Destiny Books and Findhorn Press.

Inner Traditions accepts proposals by email under its guidelines for submissions. For a card deck, send a short cover letter, the guidebook’s contents and sample text, and sample illustrations. If you hear nothing within eight weeks, the press has passed.

10. Shuffled Ink

Shuffled Ink is a custom card printer headquartered in Florida. It prints tarot cards, playing cards, card games and flash cards to your specification, which makes it a practical option for an independent creator who wants to publish a deck without a traditional publisher.

Shuffled Ink is a printer, not a submissions-based publisher. You start by choosing a product and filling in its request a quote form, and the site provides card templates to help you prepare your files.

11. Carta Mundi

Cartamundi is a Belgian manufacturer of playing cards and board games, headquartered in Turnhout, a town with a long history of card making. It produces playing cards, tarot decks and games for publishers, brands and casinos at industrial scale.

Cartamundi works with game and card projects through the form on its contact page. It suits larger print runs and publisher partners more than a single first deck.

12. Wisdom Tree Publications

Wisdom Tree is a publisher in New Delhi, India, with a list centered on spirituality, self-help, yoga, health and Indian culture. Its catalog includes tarot and divination titles, which makes it one of the few Indian houses on this list of tarot publishers.

13. Acelion

Acelion is a custom tarot and oracle card manufacturer in China, covered in my guide to publishing companies in China. It prints standard 78-card tarot decks, oracle and affirmation decks and die-cut cards, with options such as foil edges, guidebooks and rigid boxes, and it states a minimum order of 200 sets.

Acelion is a printer you hire, so there is no submission process. Its website offers a free quote, a free sample kit of card stocks and finishes, and a step-by-step guide for first-time deck creators.

14. Alchimia Publishing

Alchimia Publishing is a small English publisher of esoteric books and decks, with a focus on alchemy and Hermetic tradition. Its best-known titles are the Splendor Solis Tarot, a 78-card gold-embossed deck with a companion book by Marie Angelo, and the Sacred Trees Oracle, sold through its own online shop.

Alchimia publishes no submission guidelines, so treat it as a specialist house to study for inspiration.

15. Red Wheel/Weiser Books

Red Wheel/Weiser is a publishing company in Massachusetts, with roots in Samuel Weiser’s New York occult bookshop, opened in 1926. Its imprints include Weiser Books, Hampton Roads and New Page Books, and its list covers the occult, witchcraft, astrology, tarot and self-help.

Final Thoughts

If you want a traditional deal, start with the publishers that publish tarot decks and say how to pitch them: U.S. Games Systems, Llewellyn, Lo Scarabeo, RedFeather, Rockpool, Inner Traditions and Red Wheel/Weiser. Send what each one asks for, usually sample cards plus sample guidebook text, and nothing more. If you would rather keep control of the art and the profits, a printer such as Shuffled Ink or Acelion can produce small runs, and you can sell the deck yourself.
