Blazing Heart Cards

03/23/2025

Less than a week to go for the Parabeco Kickstarter! Things are going well and the project is fully funded and then some. I've already ordered the dice and their little satin bags. I do need to make one change to the cards; my printer, MPC, has made a lot of changes to the availability of their Eco Herbage stock, and it looks like I won't be able to use it after all. I'm disappointed as I wanted to use a sustainable cardstock. But don't worry, the cards will still have a natural looking background, just as the originals do. I'm thinking of adding a linen finish, which wasn't available for the eco paper. Let me know what you think!

My Parabeco Oracle Kickstarter is live, and doing well so far, we've met our basic funding goal so we are definitely going to be able to print the deck! I'm so pleased. And there are still 4 days left for the Early Bird discount. Have a look: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fromtheheart/parabeco-oracle-cards

The Kickstarter for Blazing Heart's new oracle deck. the Parabeco Oracle, has launched! It's off to a good start and I'm excited. It's always a little bit nerve wracking to put together one of these campaigns and I'm so grateful to the people who have already pledged, and to all of you for following my page. :-)
Here's a link to the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fromtheheart/parabeco-oracle-cards?ref=created_projects
The campaign will run from today through March 28th, but right now there is an early bird special - if you pledge before March 16th you'll save money.

A faithful replica of a delightful and very rare fortune telling deck, from Czechoslovakia in the 1920s.

I'm publishing another oracle deck from the early 1900s, the Parabeco Fortune Telling Deck. This is a fun and unusual fortune telling deck created in Czecoslovakia in the 1920s or 1930s, for an American company called the Paramount Bead Company - ParaBeCo. It isn't a Lenormand, or a Gypsy Witch, or a Sybil deck, most of the cards and meanings don't appear in other decks. It's totally it's own thing.
I'm including replicas of 30 sided fortune telling dice that the Parabeco company used to sell. I think they are very cool, hopefully other people will think so as well.
The Kickstarter is in Pre-Launch, and we go live on Feb 27th. Here's the pre-launch site: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fromtheheart/parabeco-oracle-cards

I'm vending at Lake City Summerfest today until 4:30, and at PNW Witches' Market tomorrow. Would love to see people I know! Come say hi 🙂

Just three days left to go in the kickstarter campaign for the Valmor Roaring '20s deck, a reprint of the "Old Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards" from Chicago in the 1920s/1930s. If you're interested in this historic deck, but haven't pledged yet, you still have time! But only a little. :-)

The Valmor Roaring 20's Oracle cards kickstarter is fully funded, and it's only the second week! The Early Bird discounts are available until the end of the month, so there's almost a week left to take advantage of that, and three weeks left in the campaign. If you haven't done so already, have a look and add your support to Valmor Roaring 20's Oracle. Now we know it's a sure thing!

I want to create a set of little add-on decks to be used with a tarot or oracle deck. I (and most readers I know) have trouble with the very specific questions - Where, Who, and especially, When. So these deck would only address those questions - you'd pick a card to help illuminate other cards in your reading. It's not my idea, I've seen a few decks like this, and now I want to make my own.
I've taken a stab at what would be included in each deck - tell me what you think? Suggestions very much appreciated. Semi-related picture because facebook prefers posts with pictures, and I like this one. 🙂
