Hi
I am the "artist" for this deck and created it initially because I could not find a copy of the Delphi Tarot. My choices for the cards was different than hers of course and the process. I am aware that the back stories are not specific to some of the cards but I was more interested in a quick read in terms of the visual and for some of the cards this added depth to the reading for me such as Temperence to me she is both light and shadow for this card. I am posting to just make a few things clear. The artwork is public domain and was retrieved from the museum websites individually that were offered to the public to be used. They even give you a handy download button for each image etc.
I think it will resonate with some and not others so I am ok with people not purchasing it or wanting to etc. The only comment I feel the need to defend on is the money grabbing comment specifically. I created this deck just for me and several people in my FB group really really wanted a copy. So I went through the extra steps of creating something a bit more friendly for them, packaging, website, a little booklet etc when that was not my original intention. I have put in many many hours on this project so far and am very thankful for those who have ordered and hope they love it tremendously. But to be frank I have made in profit thus far what I bill my work clients two hours for so you see I want to make it clear this out of my passion for tarot and wanting to share it with others not to get rich. I definitely make more money in my professional trade.
Personally this project helped me kick start my own illustrated deck because I had already gone through the exercise of what each card means to me now in this moment. It has made that process much easier. If you care to take a look at them you can on my site as well under the in progress page.
