For mystery writer Kirsten Weiss, the magic of storytelling goes beyond the pages of her novels. Inspired by the mystery schools of the 1800s and her popular Mystery School series of books, she brought her fictional world to life in a new way—with the creation of the UnTarot Deck.
This oracle deck, featuring intricate designs and mystical symbolism, isn’t just a companion to her novels—it’s a tool for self-discovery, empowerment, and a celebration of the magic woven into her stories.
From Fiction to Reality
The idea for the UnTarot Deck came directly from the pages of Kirsten’s books, Legacy of the Witch and Shadow of the Witch. In these stories, tarot cards play a central role in the training of initiates at a fictional mystery school. Readers were captivated by the concept and began asking for a physical version of the cards featured in the novels.
With their encouragement, Kirsten turned her literary vision into a tangible oracle deck that reflects the themes of mystery, magic, and transformation.
The Art of Creation
Using Canva and digital collage techniques, Kirsten designed each card herself, meticulously crafting imagery that captures the spirit of her stories. Her dedication to detail and authenticity shines through in every piece, resulting in a deck that resonates with fans and newcomers alike.
The process wasn’t without its challenges. “The main issue was my own fear of making a costly mistake,” Kirsten recalls. “But the folks at Shuffled Ink walked me through the process, and the cards turned out exactly as I hoped.”
Sharing the UnTarot
When Kirsten introduced the deck at a recent Women’s Expo, the response was electrifying. “People were literally gasping with excitement when they saw the cards,” she shares. This moment confirmed that her creative leap of faith had paid off in more ways than one.
Each UnTarot Deck comes with an instruction book, an app, and a luxurious purple velvet pouch, making it a thoughtful gift or a personal treasure for anyone intrigued by the mystical arts.
Why Shuffled Ink?
Kirsten’s choice of Shuffled Ink as her manufacturer reflects her commitment to quality and integrity. “I’ve heard horror stories about decks being pirated when produced overseas. Shuffled Ink offered peace of mind, excellent service, and U.S.-based communication,” she
explains.
The result? A deck that meets her exacting standards and delights her audience with its premium 310 gsm linen finish.
Living the Mystery
The UnTarot Deck is more than a product—it’s an extension of Kirsten’s brand and philosophy. Her motto, “Live the Mystery. Embrace the Magic. Transform with the UnTarot Deck,” invites users to embark on their own journey of exploration and growth.
You can find the UnTarot Deck is available online at Kirsten Weiss’s website, and includes everything needed for an immersive experience. Kirsten is also excited to bring the deck to life in person at the Body, Mind, Spirit Festival in Colorado Springs, March 7–9, 2025.
With the UnTarot Deck, Kirsten Weiss has seamlessly bridged the gap between her fictional worlds and the real lives of her readers. It’s a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and the courage to take risks. Whether you’re a fan of her novels o
r simply curious about the mysteries of the UnTarot, this deck is an invitation to embrace the magic within.
