The IRONWING TAROT uses unique personal symbolism to celebrate
the ancient craft of blacksmithing and its connection with shamanism.
The 78 cards depict women only. Drawings are ink on scratchboard.
Major Arcana illustrate mysteries of the geology and metallurgy of iron, the Black Metal.
Minor Arcana explore the interaction of the Four Elements through magical iron objects,
shaman's tools, and obscure sacred plants and creatures.
Spirit Guides show four stages of a smith's growth and life in the craft.
Major Arcana are accented with red ochre (hematite).
Title is from Ironwing the Bellmaker.

UPDATE March 2011: I've been informed of at least one unauthorized edition of the Ironwing Tarot that is now in circulation.
I haven't the time, energy, or interest to track down or take action against bootleggers, but I wish to offer the following clarification for collectors:
I have not received any requests to republish the deck. I have not given anyone permission to reprint it for sale. I do not plan to reprint the deck or re-solicit any publishers. If someone else wants to reprint the deck, I will consider approving it if the request is backed with a credible publishing plan and an offer of up-front compensation.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DECK IS GENUINE: Cards are 4 5/8" x 3 1/2", bright white, lightly coated, with bluntly rounded corners, a thin black line around the image, and a 1/4" plain white border. There are no titles or numbers on any cards, including the Major Arcana. Card back is shown below. Title card has a double-ended bell rattle drawing, a signature, and either a number (if it's part of the numbered edition) or a crossed-out zero. Decks that were sold as Majors-only (22 cards) do not have rounded corners, but are otherwise identical to the 78-card full deck.
IF YOU HAVE A BOOTLEG DECK and want to sell or trade it honestly, it should be identified as an "unauthorized edition, printed without permission from the deck creator." Incidentally, I do not own any ripoff copies of my deck, nor am I interested in acquiring any, so please do not send me offers or requests for such decks.
