Letting Things Go Before the New Year
Work has been a big part of this. Jess and I are both in that stage of life where you can practically hear your job tapping you on the shoulder every five minutes like, “Hey, how do you do this? Also, there’s a problem with the software I can’t connect, can you help? By the way the kitchen is on fire. Oh and ten new emails just came in.”
When you’re wired to be responsible, and suddenly you become the ‘important’ coworker, it’s really hard to let something slide without feeling like the world might collapse. And when you’re a perfectionist? Forget it. Letting go feels like failure, even when it’s just… being human.
Guidance Shows Up in Small Ways
We tend to think guidance has to be this huge, dramatic moment. A lightning-bolt realization. A perfect sign. Something loud enough that we can’t possibly miss it.
But honestly? Most guidance is small. Quiet. The kind of thing you only notice if you’re paying the tiniest bit of attention.
And that’s the part no one really talks about.
When the Cards Choose You
Every card sent through The Arcana Club is hand drawn — one by one, with care and intention. Each month, Jess and I shuffle the full deck, look at your name, and choose the card that feels right for you in that moment. Then we return it, reshuffle, and start again for the next person. It’s slow, personal, and completely intuitive — because we believe the right card always finds its way to the right person.
Major Arcana, Modern Meaning
When we started creating The Arcana Club, we knew we wanted a deck that felt like us. The Major deck in our collection keep the heart of traditional tarot but reinterpret it for modern life — coffee cups instead of castles, gentle chaos instead of lightning strikes. These cards carry the same timeless meanings, just through a more relatable lens. Every design was built from friendship, warmth, and the quiet rituals that inspire us.

Why Do We Still Believe in Snail Mail Magic?
When you first start living on your own, you expect mail to be exciting — until you realize it’s just bills and flyers. That small disappointment was what inspired The Arcana Club: a way to bring something personal and meaningful back into the mailbox. Even as two young professionals living in a busy city, we wanted to slow down, disconnect from screens, and rediscover the magic of snail mail.
The Story Behind the Arcana Club
In a world of bills, flyers, and endless digital notifications, The Arcana Club was created to bring back the joy of real mail. What began as a random print club idea quickly grew into a monthly tarot mail subscription that blends art, reflection, and snail mail magic. Each envelope holds a tarot-inspired card and a little spark of intention — because sometimes, the universe really does send letters.
