I started creating a set of free tarot card images, the Evolutionary Options Tarot Deck on January 11, 2013.
Why free images? (Scroll down for links to the images)
I, for one, got tired of constantly asking permission from Tarot Card publishers use tarot card images on my site.
Another reason is because I found a set of Pamela Coleman Smith images online. The images posted are public domain.
I packaged these up for free download and US Games told me I couldn’t do it. I won’t get into the tit for tat legalities of it, but I don’t think US Games is in the right on that one. But I’d rather not go there.
Update, US Games has conceded, at least in the US that the Pamela Coleman Smith images are part of the public domain. Woohoo!
Because of that experience, I started thinking, what if I made a set of tarot card images and released them into the Creative Commons? Then anybody could download them and print them. They could also add to them and we could get a free Tarot card culture going. That would be awesome!
So that’s exactly what I did.
Free Tarot Card Images – part of the creative commons
Click any of the links below to view and download free tarot card images. Or pick them up in the flickr photostream. All I ask is that you credit me, Cassandra Santori, or this website somewhere along the way. Enjoy!
Here’s a link to the credits, sources, and attributions for all the images.
THANK YOU 🙂
