Tarot Bag & Cloth Guide


All of our tarot bags and cloths are made with high-quality 100% cotton. On occasion we may offer a bag that is a cotton blend. When that happens it will be clearly stated in the product's description. Each bag is handcrafted individually. Please allow for slight variations in size and pattern placement.
Standard Tarot Decks
(approx. 2-3/4" x 4-3/4")
Most tarot decks fall in this category, the standard size of a tarot card is between 2-1/4" to 3" wide by 4-1/2" to 5" tall. We recommend a Regular Bag, a Double Draw Bag, or a Silk Bag.


Oversized Decks
(approx. 4" x 6" or larger)
This category includes most oracle card decks and oversized or large tarot decks (such as the Kuan Yin Oracle, the Sacred Circle Tarot, or the Druidcraft Tarot. We recommend a Large Bag or a Wide Bag.

Classic (Regular) Bags

Regular Size Tarot Bag
Our best-seller, the Tarot Totes Classic is a basic cotton, single cord drawstring bag.

It fits most standard sized tarot cards (3" x 5" or less). Some commonly known example decks that fit in this size bag are the Rider-Waite Tarot, the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Gilded Tarot, and Tarot of a Moon Garden ... pretty much the majority of tarot cards.

Regular size bags measure approximately 5 inches wide by 7¾ to 8 inches tall (12.7 x 20 cm)


Double Draw Bags

Tarot Bag Gusseted
The Tarot Totes Double Draw Bag is for those who want just a little more style and elegance in their tarot bag. It features a two cord drawstring top that creates a 1" ruffle when pulled closed. It also features gusseted (squared) corners on the bottom of the bag to better fit a deck of cards or a boxed deck.

If you prefer you can opt for a double draw bag without a ruffle too, just note this in the comments section when placing your order.

Double draw bags measure approximately 4½ inches wide by 7½ inches tall (11.4 x 19 cm).


Small Bags

Small Tarot Bag
Small bags are slightly smaller versions of the regular bags. They are great for playing card sized decks and for those decks labeled "pocket" size.


Small bags are approximately 4½ inches wide by about 7 inches tall (approx. 11.4 cm x 18 cm).





Short Bags

Serengeti short bag
These make great rune pouches and are ideal for mini decks, healing stones & crystals, and even work as a small digital camera bag or change purse!

Short bags are squarish and measure about 4¾ to 5 inches wide by 5¾ to 6 inches tall.




Large Bags

Large Tarot Bag

Casting cloths (for Futhark Runes, ogham, or witches' runes) are 12 inches x 12 inches square.
