I’ve already touched on this in my blog post talking about bootleg decks, but I figured I’d create a separate, more updated list of where to buy authentic tarot and oracle decks in the Philippines!
What are “authentic tarot decks / oracle decks”?
By “authentic” I mean those that are officially licensed and published by their creators and publishers. Bootleg or counterfeit decks are “fake” decks that are illegally produced by individuals or groups without permission from the original creators or publishers.
I talk about bootleg decks and why they’re problematic in my previous blog post”, but I’d like to remind y’all that these decks are plagiarized and illegal.
Why not make a blacklist of people selling bootlegs instead?
Because there are too fucking many of them. Parang masamang damo, amputa. Almost all the tarot and oracle decks you’ll see when searching on local e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Shopee are bootlegs. Even international e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Etsy are plagued by these fakes!
THEREFORE it is much easier to make a list of reliable, trustworthy online sellers and shops that carry authentic tarot and oracle decks.

Special Mention: Tarot Tiangge
Tarot Tiangge deserves a special mention here, because it’s a Facebook group that serves as a platform for buying and selling both second-hand and brand-new decks. This is a little project spearheaded by Ledz (@eightsectarotphy on IG), moderated by Henny (@king.of.rainbows), Lui (@0ofwands), and yours truly.
