Robert M. Place — As a well known author and deck designer, Bob will be selling copies of his books and Tarots decks, including his newest deck the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery and the last copies of the 3rd edition of his classic Alchemical Tarot, along with the new updated companion book, his Vampire Tarot, and a catalog of his Tarot exhibition from the Craft and Folk Art Museum in LA. He will also have prints of his art, and handmade sterling silver jewelry of his own design. But the biggest news is that he hopes to have the first copies of the new Burning Serpent Oracle that he conceived of along with Rachel Pollack, and copies of Rachel's companion book for the deck!

Rachel Pollack— Everyone in tarot knows that Rachel is one of our Grand Dames, but as well as writing and teaching, she is a visual artist, creator of the Shining Tribe Tarot, and a creator of Spirit Necklaces, made with pendants from around the world—including sterling silver Kabbalistic talismans, gemstones from Afghanistan and other places, New Zealand symbols of spiritual growth, reproductions of Ancient Greek coins, images of leopards from Africa, and many others.

The Fountain Tarot — Jonathan Saiz (Artist), Jason Gruhl (Author) and Andi Todaro (Designer), creators of The Fountain Tarot, will be offering their newly released 79-card deck, prints of selected cards, and a collection of the original oil paintings.

The Fountain Tarot offers a unique, contemporary experience connecting the worlds of sacred geometry, internet culture, art and spirituality. It contributes newly to the cherished and exciting tradition of Tarot by respectfully re-envisioning the cards, while bringing extensive quality to every detail, and accessibility through an RWS format.

Jonathan, Jason and Andi are often living in random places around the world (The Fountain Tarot was created from Mexico, France and the US), but our home base is Denver, Colorado in the USA.

Barbara Bennington — New to the Merchant Faire this year, but a long-time fan of The Tarot School, Barbara creates interesting and unusual costume jewelry pieces using (mostly) crystals and natural stones. There are some cool glass beads, cinnabar, and cloisonné beads in there too, but it all has wonderful energy. There will be earrings, necklaces, and her signature “Sticks and Stones” pins…these are versatile stick pins that can be used as hat pins, shawl or scarf fasteners, or as jacket or coat ornaments.

Funded on Kickstarter in 2014, the deck is the first in a multi-city series of photographic decks exploring highly Occult cities around the world.

Inspired by the city's history as an Occult center of the United States, Ginnie turned her camera lens to focus on the Occult and Esoteric leanings buried in plain sight in New York's vibrant architectural staples. The accompanying Little White Book is filled with historical architectural facts and a thorough Qabbalistically-based description of each card in the 78-piece deck.

Along with their first deck in a multi-city project (Paris is coming in late 2015), the team will be vending their Zodiac Map, an Astrological learning tool, and unique self-published Tarot journals and workbooks.

Tara Winstanley / The Timeless Tarot — Drawing from her own well of personal experience from her Tarot practice and readings, Tara eventually felt compelled to design a Tarot deck that combined her love of art, knowledge of the RWS system and Tara's preferred card size (playing card size - 2.5 x 3.5 inches). After a year of creative effort the The Timeless Tarot was born— an eclectic mix of classic paintings, from the fourteenth century through the twentieth century, that closely align and happily coincide with many of the images, symbols, colors and most importantly the feelings of each of the seventy eight cards that are represented in the Tarot. Also available for sale will be Tara's Tarot bags that match the Timeless Tarot deck and her other deck, The NOW Lenormand — a Lenormand-style deck that helps in the process of learning to read the Lenormand divination system.

Ellen Lorenzi-Prince— More often a teacher at tarot events, Ellen Lorenzi-Prince will have her highly regarded Dark Goddess Tarot at this year's Readers Studio as well as her latest work, the Minoan Tarot. Plus you'll find magical crafts such as amulets, shrines, and spell bottles.
