Mana-Fest · two indie tarot-oracle decks
Mana-Fest is a pair of decks that came out of one Kickstarter. Light Weave is the bright side, made for self-awareness and manifesting. Dark Weave is the shadow side, made for introspection and shadow work.
Both follow the Rider-Waite-Smith meanings, and both carry a keyword on each card. So you can lay out a full tarot spread, or pull one card and read it as an oracle.
The two decks
The bright side
Made for self-awareness and enlightenment, and for manifesting. The Major Arcana carry short manifesting poems to bring into your rituals.
The shadow side
Made for introspection and shadow work. Dark, moody cards with keywords like Burdened and Reasons to start you off.
What they share
If you know Rider-Waite, you already know both decks. The meanings are the classic ones, so there’s nothing to unlearn, and the keyword on each card gives you a quick way in.
The cards are thick and durable and shuffle well, in oracle size (3.5 x 5 inches, 350 gsm). Each deck comes in a magnetic keepsake box with its own full-color guidebook.
How Mana-Fest was made
During the Kickstarter, backers voted on 15 to 20 of the Light Weave cards, and they’re thanked by name in the guidebook. Dark Weave was designed and completed before the campaign launched, then printed alongside Light Weave.
The 12-card Zodiac deck was a stretch goal backers unlocked. It now comes with Light Weave, one card for each sign.
Which one first?
Calling something new into your life? Start with Light Weave. Ready to look under the surface? Start with Dark Weave.
Most backers took both. Because they share the same meanings, the two decks read well together, and each one also sits easily beside the tarot deck you already use.
