Tarot readers in the Philippines, if you’ve ever tried to get your hands on an indie tarot deck from Europe or the U.S., you know the struggle. Between high international shipping fees, customs duties, an unpredictable delivery timeline, and the Philippines’ often inconvenient and unreliable postal system, it can feel like the cards are stacked against you. So aside from my usual sources for tarot decks in the Philippines, I’m always on the lookout for reliable, Asia-based tarot shops that make it easier for us here in the Philippines (and anyone around SEA) to access beautiful and thoughtfully-made decks.
Here are six shops that are worth checking out:
1. Nanna Tarot Co.
Location: Taiwan
Shop Link: @nannatarot on Instagram
Based in Taiwan, Nanna Tarot offers a well-curated selection of tarot decks, with a strong focus on creators from Southeast Asia and East Asia. I ordered the Heartscape Tarot from them and had a great experience—they were responsive to all my questions about shipping and delivery, and the deck arrived in excellent condition.
2. LoongTin Reader
Location: Thailand
Shop Links: LoongTinReader on Etsy, LoongTinReader.com
I discovered LoongTin Reader on Etsy while searching for an official stockist of Modern Magic Store (based in Serbia), the indie publisher of the Solar Kingdom Tarot. LoongTin is also a tarot reader and deck collector as well, and he can offer good insights and commentary on each of the decks he has in stock. His Etsy store doesn’t ship to the Philippines, but he was very responsive and helpful, providing all the information I needed to coordinate delivery via my freight forwarder, Buy and Ship. The deck arrived securely packaged and in perfect condition.
3. Love Magic Sparkles
Location: Singapore
Shop Link: LoveMagicSparkles.com
Operating out of Singapore, Love Magic Sparkles offers a well-curated selection of decks with some rare finds. I ordered the limited indigo border edition of the Botan Tarot from them, and the customer service was excellent—delivery to the Philippines was hassle-free, and the deck was carefully packed. They even included a heartfelt, handwritten thank you note in the package, which added a lovely personal touch. This shop was highly recommended to me by a tarot reader friend, who has ordered from them multiple times and consistently had positive experiences.
4. Tevada Tarot
Location: Thailand (but they also sometimes ship from the US)
Shop Link: TevadaTarot.com
Another Thailand-based shop, Tevada Tarot caught my attention for their beautiful site design, great selection of tarot and oracle decks by Asian creators, and fun yet informative tarot-related content. Aside from tarot and oracle cards, Tevada also offers reading services, crystal jewelry, and tarot-related accessories.
While I haven’t ordered from them myself, several close friends in the local tarot community have, and they had nothing but good things to say. I’ve also signed up for their email newsletter and really enjoy the content and readings they share there.
5. The Hermit Tarot Shop
Location: Thailand
Shop Link: TheHermit.Shop
The Hermit Tarot Shop is based in Thailand and offers a wide range of indie decks (including Tarot, Oracle, and Lenormand) from all over the world, and they even have a special category for decks made by Thai creators. I haven’t ordered from them or seen any firsthand reviews, but they really caught my attention for being dedicated to making indie decks more accessible to tarot readers and collectors in Thailand.
6. Charming Than Shop
Location: Thailand
Shop Link: CharmingThanShop.com
This Thailand-based shop run by tarot reader and astrologer Than Thanwarat stocks various indie decks from all over the world. While I haven’t had any personal or secondhand experience with them, their online presence suggests they are an active shop worth keeping on your radar.
A Quick Note on Shipping Costs and Delivery Options
While these shops (+ using a freight forwarder when available and/or needed) can be a more convenient alternative to ordering directly from indie publishers/creators, always compare total costs, including shipping! Sometimes, ordering straight from the publisher can come out cheaper, especially if the deck is on sale or bundled with others.
However, keep in mind that ordering direct may sometimes require you to pick up your parcel from the the nearest local post office branch. Make sure to factor that into your decision as well!
Final Thoughts
As someone who reads tarot professionally and personally collects decks, I’m really glad to have have accessible and trustworthy suppliers both locally and in other parts of Asia.
