About Us

We are a duo based out of Rochester NY. One is the anachronistic dreamer. The other is the wizard of the wires. We yearn for more time dreaming and contemplating, less time doomscrolling. We wish to encourage the art and practice of tarot as a method of checking in rather than checking out.

We are grateful that you are here, checking out our wares. Purchasing from Archaic Sanctum supports small business and we value your patronage. We've cultivated this site as we would wish to shop it. We care about the details. Wherever possible, we've added large images and expansive details. We attribute the authors and artists.

We have crafted many ways for you to find the tarot decks, oracle decks, books, & accessories best suited to your taste. While many decks follow Rider-Waite tradition, we also offer Thoth, Marseilles, non-traditional, & other divination systems such as Lenormand. If you're looking for your first deck, the beginner's section is a great place to start - though many folks will tell you to start with the classic decks! (I didn't - don't @ me)

We're working hard to provide more useful content, so check back soon! Meanwhile, you can stay in the know by looking at the newest products & upcoming releases!

And, importantly, we've structured our policies to reflect our wish for you to be satisfied! Feel free to reach out to us with questions at support@archaicsanctum.com or use the contact page.
