The only credit on the box is Greenbriar International, which specializes in supplying cheap crap of all kinds to dollar stores and similar places. I suspect they function mostly as an importer & packager (and possibly are not entirely on the level...)
The booklet has a byline for D. Jon Michael Hilford and Jon Stetson, who by a quick google search, appear to be a pair of traveling psychics/stage magicians/new age gurus who do whatever sort of paranormal performances seem most likely to make them a living in a given place. Who know if they had anything to do with the deck itself, though. Searching those two names + tarot got me a few tarot forum threads discussing the Dollar Tree deck, but I haven't found one yet where anybody has figured out why it has the cards it does. I am still looking!
