As I indicated in another thread. After two years of pretty much full time involvement I have finally finished this project. The deck itself won't be available for while yet, but it does exist.
As with my previous decks this one is based on the RWS, but I don't personally consider it to be a clone by any means. In fact I admit to taking considerable artistic license with many cards. But I trust that those personal variations will still be relevant from the tarot reading context.
I hope in fact that it will prove to be a good reading deck. In so far as I've attempted to make each card's image work hard in its own right. By that I mean that even were you to remove the title and not have a number of swords, cups etc that you can actually count on any given card, that card's imagery would still be clearly recognizable to anyone with basic familiarity of the RWS system. I think thats something that most decks fall short of, and I don't think I really achieved it for every card either, but that was my goal.
Anyway you can judge for yourselves. Th entire deck can be seen here in a slide show format.
