The Personalized Guidebook — a keepsake PDF written around your companion
What the Personalized Guidebook is, which decks and editions include it, how to buy it, how to change its name, and how it's delivered.
What is the Personalized Guidebook?
The Personalized Guidebook is a beautifully typeset keepsake PDF companion to your deck. Every card's meaning is rewritten around your companion — their name, story and the details you shared with us are woven into each page, printed beside that card's actual artwork from your deck.
It is a one-time purchase, delivered digitally as a PDF you can read on any device, print at home, or have bound as a gift.
Which decks can have a guidebook?
The guidebook is currently available for:
- Personalized Tarot decks
- Lovers Tarot decks
- Oracle decks
- Purrs & Paws Pet Tarot decks
- Whiskers & Wisdom Pet Oracle decks
- Lenormand decks
For Pet Tarot decks the guidebook uses your deck's own card names — so a dog's deck reads "Ten of Balls" exactly as painted on the card — while each meaning stays true to the traditional tarot significance.
Is it ever included?
Yes. Every Collector's Edition order includes the Personalized Guidebook at no extra charge. When the offer is shown on your free preview page, the Deluxe edition of a printed deck includes it too, with its usual price crossed out on the plan you choose. The Deluxe inclusion is the digital guidebook — the same keepsake PDF described above, emailed to you rather than packed in the box. The printed companion guidebook that ships inside the box stays exclusive to the Collector's Edition. Either way there is nothing extra to buy: it is prepared automatically once your deck is complete, and you'll receive an email with a download link the moment it's ready.
The Standard edition and digital-only orders do not include it; you can add it from your order page whenever you like.
How is it personalized?
We use the name, story and notes you shared when creating your deck (for example the note you added with your photo). Each card's meaning is rewritten to speak about your companion specifically, while staying true to the card's traditional significance. If we don't have enough personal detail to work with, the guidebook uses our lovingly written standard meanings instead — it will always be complete.
How do I buy it?
Open your order's page (the link from your confirmation or deck-ready email) and look for the Personalized Guidebook card near the top of the page, before the card gallery. Choose Add the guidebook and we'll first ask who it's for: the name goes on the cover and opens the welcome letter inside. We fill in your name — change it if the deck is a gift. Then secure checkout opens. All our usual payment methods are supported. The price is shown in your local currency before you pay.
How is it delivered?
After purchase we prepare your guidebook — this takes a little while because every page is composed with your deck's own card images. You can watch the progress on your order page, and we also email you a permanent download link the moment it's ready.
Can I get it again later?
Yes. Once purchased (or included with your edition), the guidebook belongs to your order permanently. You can re-download it from Your downloads on your order page at any time, or ask the Order Assistant to prepare a fresh copy.
Can I change the name on my guidebook?
Yes. On your order page, under Your downloads, your guidebook shows who it's addressed to — choose Change beside the name. We'll prepare a fresh copy addressed to the new name and email you the new download link a few minutes later; your cards don't change. You can change the name once your current copy has finished preparing. The guidebook's name never changes the name on your order, receipts or emails.
For a Collector's Edition set, the name is also printed on your certificate, so it can no longer be changed once you've approved your set for print. If you need to change the name more than a few times, just contact us and we'll update it for you.
What if I edit my cards after the guidebook was made?
Your guidebook always deserves to match your finished deck. If you edit or regenerate any cards after your guidebook was prepared, your order page will offer to refresh the guidebook so every page shows your latest artwork. Refreshing is free — click it, and we'll compose a fresh copy and email you the new download link the moment it's ready.
What language is it in?
The guidebook is written in the language of your order — the same language as your card meanings and emails.
