How many traditions have you incorporated into this image? The companion book for this deck will be killer! :D

wow, that is awesome. I often find depictions of the Hierophant to be flat and one-dimensional, both in the image and in the depth of meaning. You really go full-bore into the idea of the Hierophant here.

'Thothy', perhaps, but so far I think I prefer these images to the ones in that deck. I admit I haven't read much with Thoth, so I don't know it well.

I love seeing the various ideas for new decks, and it's particularly nice to watch a good deck through development. Nice work, keep it up!

It's reminding me of a Deva card, if the entire frame were to be filled (in the Deva card). I'm glad it will take about a year to complete because that will give me enough time to save up for it!

Congratulations thus far! I love indy artists' work and supporting them!

Love that Hierophant. And while I'd love to see a companion book, the cards I've seen so far as so chock-full of imagery that they're quite readable even without the companion book.

But I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum from KafkasGhost - I want this now! :laugh:

No no, we're on the same end of the spectrum, Rodney. That was my ATTEMPT to practice some self-restraint. Prolly not gonna happen (the self-restraint). :bugeyed:

Mostly drawn from alchemy and western ceremonial magic, with a touch of druidism. I want to do essays on each, but that will take more time. Thank you:)

I´m without a doubt going to buy this deck, whenever it´s ready. These images are enough to convince me. Still I´m happy it´s not ready yet; I`m nowadays studying Thoth symbols and I´ll have time to learn more before this one is available. :)

Finally!

Finally I have found a Hierophant that speaks to me! At long last, it's not just some old man in a chair! There are a few other Hierophants I've seen that are pretty good, but this is the best. I cannot explain what it is about this one that makes him so perfect, but it is there. Even if this deck is Majors-Only, I'm sold.
