Created by Dec Art

Aeternum is a 78-card tarot deck featuring intricate gold-foil accents, paired with a fully illustrated hardcover companion book that recounts the Errant’s journey through the Major Arcana. Created by visionary artist D.E.C., each card and page invites you into a modern, esoteric world of art and story.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Art progress update - New cards revealed!
7 months ago – Wed, Nov 05, 2025 at 08:02:15 AM

Hello dear backers of Aeternum,
this is Davide speaking — I hope you’re all doing well.

First of all, I want to express once again my deepest gratitude to everyone who completed the BackerKit survey on time. Your support and cooperation truly mean the world to us.

There’s still about 14% of backers who haven’t completed their survey yet. We’ll keep it open for a few more weeks to give everyone a final chance — but please remember that once the survey closes, we won’t be able to produce or ship your rewards in 2026.
If you’re having any trouble finding or completing the survey (especially if you used Apple ID on Kickstarter), please contact us immediately so we can help you resolve it.

ART PROGRESS:

Now, about the art production — this is where most of my focus will be in the coming months. Many sketches are already done, and several cards have been fully completed. Luca is also doing a great job in creating the perfect graphic layout for each card. Here’s a preview of some of the latest finished artworks. (images below)

I really would love to hear what do you think of these new cards I'm showing, so don't be shy and leave a comments below!

I also want to be transparent with you: we’ve had some internal issues over the past few months that slowed down progress more than expected. That said, I’m now fully focused and working daily to complete the deck as quickly as possible. While we still aim to meet our projected schedule, some delays may occur. If that happens, please rest assured that we’ll always keep you informed — honesty and transparency are values we’ll never compromise.

Finally, if you haven’t yet, I warmly invite you to join our private Facebook group, where you can see regular updates, share your own posts, and interact directly with me and the Dec Art team.

Thank you again for your patience, support, and trust.
See you in the next update!

Survey Deadline Extended
8 months ago – Mon, Oct 06, 2025 at 07:18:55 AM

Dear Aeternum backers,

As you know, the final deadline to complete your BackerKit survey was set for October 1st. This step is essential to confirm your pledge, add-ons, shipping details, and pay shipping fees so we can lock production numbers with our partners. It's also your final chance to upgrade your pledge including extra items to your preorder, like many backers already did.

We are happy to share that 85% of you have already completed the survey — thank you so much! 🙏
However, since we don’t want the remaining 15% to miss out on their rewards, we’ve decided to extend the deadline by one more month.

👉 If you haven’t completed your survey yet, please do it as soon as possible. If you encounter any issues with BackerKit, contact us directly and we’ll gladly help.

Joining our official Facebook group is also the best way to stay updated and interact with me and the team. 

Meanwhile, the artistic production of the new cards is progressing nonstop, and in the next update I’ll reveal many new illustrations. Don't miss it!

Stay tuned — and thank you again for your continued support!

The Dec-Art Team.

⏰ BackerKit Survey – Deadline October 1st

After that date, we’ll lock all orders and confirm the final production numbers with our partners. This is the final deadline to confirm your pledge and secure your rewards.

You can modify your pledge directly from your survey, it's well explained in the previous updates, but if you have problems doing that contact us!

🚚 Priority Shipping Update

All products included in the Priority Shipping offer were shipped a few weeks ago, and many backers have already received their first rewards:

“Hierophant” pins

"The Moon" Holo prints

💬 Community Highlights

In our private Facebook group, backers are already sharing photos and first impressions of the items they received — and it fills us with pride! 🙏

70% BackerKit Surveys Completed 🚀 Priority shipping deadline postponed: August 11th🗓️
10 months ago – Fri, Aug 01, 2025 at 08:07:50 AM

Hello dear backers, hope you are well!

Here's a little update about the backerkit surveys we sent and some news we need to share.

 We fixed a few important issues in the BackerKit survey regarding shipping fees:

✅ Free shipping on pledges over $200 ( 170 euros) is now correctly applied. (it didn't worked for some items, now it works for all the rewards)

✅ Orders with only pins now show free shipping as promised.

✅ Some EU countries (like Ireland and Slovakia) were mistakenly categorized as “Rest of World,” which caused higher shipping rates — this has now been corrected.

🔁 If you previously checked your survey and noticed one of these issues, please review it again now — the problems should be resolved.

If anything still looks off — especially if you’re located in the EU but still being charged international rates or if the free shipping offer doesn't work — please let us know directly so we can fix it as soon as possible.

🚀Woo-Hoo! 70% Completed

BackerKit Surveys were out only for 10 days, and today a whopping 70% of our backers already filled in their surveys! Well done! 🥳

As we had already mentioned, we confirm that we'll close officially the surveys on october 1st, 2025. This is because we're working hard to meet our deadlines and by october we would like to have a pretty realistic estimate of the stuff we have to produce to align with the agreements we did with the producers and the shipping company. 

We want to remind you that if you do not complete the Survey that Backerkit sent you before the final deadline, we will not be able to send you your physical rewards. So if you still have postponed, please do it now!

🚚 PRIORITY SHIPPING –Deadline postponed to August 11th

The Hierophant pins and the prints (canvas, paper posters, holoprints) are already under production, but they will be ready for shipments only after August 11th. That's why we decided to extend the possibility of accessing priority shipping by 10 days. 

So if you want to get your pins and prints before everyone else without having to wait for 2026, that's your last chance!

HOW TO EARN PRIORITY SHIPPING:

OPTION 1: Add a Pin to your order 🌟

All Hierophant Pins Will Ship in August – No Extra Cost!

DEADLINE: AUGUST 11th

If your pledge includes any version of the Hierophant pin — whether it’s:

the Golden 3D Pin

the Full Set

or the Blind Bag

...you will automatically receive them in August at no additional cost! 🧷
But ONLY if your survey is submitted by August 11th! (If we don't have your address we can't ship them)

👉 Don’t have a pin in your pledge?
This is the perfect time to add one! You'll receive a reward from Aeternum months before everyone else. But hurry up! Units are limited. This is a limited edititon!

OPTION 2: Add a Print to your order 🖼️ + Select the Add-On “Priority Shipping for My Prints  ”

DEADLINE: AUGUST 11th

If you’ve chosen any canvas, poster, or holoprint, you can receive them in August too by adding the add-on:
🎯 “Priority Shipping for My Prints”
Available inside the survey.

This is a small extra fee to cover separate shipping.
Deadline: August 11 — after that, all prints will be delivered with the final shipment in 2026.

Don’t miss the chance to get a piece of Aeternum early ✨

Top-rated UPGRADE choice ⬆️

Our top rated pledge upgrade choice by FAR has been our Artbook Collection tier. This gives you both the books of the projects, so together with the deck you will receive a copy of the "Diary of the Errant" Guidebook + a copy of the new "Aeternum "edition of "The art of Dec". It's the Aeternum full experience, really the best choice. For those of you that made this upgrade, welcome to the club! If you haven't... what are you waiting for?!

Here are the top rated add-ons people are adding to their pledges by filling out their surveys:

These are the unique items still avaible:

You won't see these discounted prices anymore. Don't miss the chance!

If your pledge is really close to 200$ then upgrading it or including one more add-on could be very wise!

Got more questions? Can't find your survey or have problems with it? Shoot us a message on Kickstarter, or reach out to us directly on our private FB group, where you can easily interact with me and my team. JOIN HERE.

THANK YOU! ❤️
