About
The Sonadow Tarot Project aims to create a collaborative Sonadow-themed digital Tarot deck. The deck will consist of 22 Major Arcana, 16 Court, and 40 Minor Arcana cards. It will be made available for free as a zine collecting the cards, a description of their meaning, and an artist statement. There will also be a high resolution PDF for people who want to get the deck printed.
Mods

Kat / Hob | she/they/fae
Head mod — Logistics & Writing
Hiya! You can call me Kat or Hob. I’ve been casually into the Sonic franchise for a few years now, but after watching Sonic Prime in 2024 I fell head-first into obsession. My interest in Tarot goes back a little further; I got my first deck when I was twelve, as a gift from an aunt, who also taught me how to read the cards. I’m a writer, so anything that requires words is my purview, along with some of the logistics stuff.

ri | they/them
Head mod — Art & Graphics
Helo, I’m ri! :] I was into Sonic as a kid but forgot about it for a few years… After watching Sonic Prime and the third movie, the sonadow got me good. I’ve always wanted to create a full deck of Tarot cards, so what better subject than my favourite hogs? If it’s art or design, I’m your guy 👍

Sony | all pronouns
Assistant mod — Logistics
Hey there, I’m Sony! I’ve been a Sonic fan for over 20 years, and whenever I saw Sonic and Shadow in the same shot, I thought they were “such good FRIENDS"… Took me until 2015 to realise I actually ship them in all ways possible 🤭 As for Tarot, I find it fascinating, own a couple of decks, and do a reading for myself once in a while (though not without a guidebook), so a Sonadow + Tarot combo is pretty exciting to me! For the project, I’ll be helping out with various logistics tasks.

elowen | he/they
Assistant mod — Logistics
Hi, I’m elowen! I’ve been into Sonic since 2013, but took a break because I thought I was too cool for sonic. Now I’m stuck in the hedgehog cage thanks to Sonic x Shadow Generations. I’ve always been a casual fan of Tarot cards, enjoying artists' interpretations of the cards and getting guidance from the cards on life. Super excited to see what people draw for these Sonadow-based Tarot cards!

Summers | she/her
Assistant mod — Logistics
Hiii I’m Summers🩷 I’ve been a fan of Sonic since growing up with the adventure games on the gamecube! Sonadow was my first ship and I love those idiots to the point that I started a webcomic for them. Amy is my favorite character though and with her Tarot card reading expertise it felt fitting to join this project 🩷

Iseia (ee-sey-uh) | she/he
Assistant mod — Graphics
Hello!! I’m Iseia! Even though I didn’t play Sonic growing up, I still thought he was the epitome of coolness as a kid and maintain that opinion. I had been interested in Sonic from Prime and the movies, but when Shadow Gens came out and I learned more lore and saw angst potential, that was the springboard into the fandom and fic writing. I think about Sonadow all the time, and I lovingly call my state of mind Hedgehog Hell.

Momo | she/her
Assistant mod — Discord
Hi there, I'm Momo! When I was younger I used to play Sonic Heroes and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games with my little sister, so I've always been a casual fan of our blue hedgehog friend, but never obsessed. Then I went to the Sonic 3 movie with Kat and watched Sonic Prime along with the Snapcube fandubs and since then I've loved the whole cast of characters a lot <3

Leg / Lee | she/they
Assistant mod — Discord
Hi, I’m Leg (or Lee)! My first Sonic game was 06, and I also watched a lot of Sonic X dubbed anime as a kid, and that says everything you need to know about my formative tastes. As for recently, I have very normal feelings about Prime. My job here is watching over the Discord server for everyone :)

FAQ
Are you planning on making a physical deck?
We’ve looked into it, but unfortunately—much as we would love to be able to do it—a physical deck is just not feasible. The print run required to obtain a decent price is larger than we’d realistically expect to be able to sell, meaning the price of the deck would need to be higher than we’d be comfortable charging just to break even. On top of that, the current state of international shipping is a bit of a mess, making the entire thing much more trouble than it’s worth. We are hoping to be able to provide people with high resolution PDFs, so anybody interested will be able to get their own deck printed—and since we’re not printing a deck, we’ll be able to provide you with those PDFs for free!
