Hello Everyone!
Hi, I'm Toney Brooks, the author of Chrysalis Tarot. We just learned yesterday that the deck will be published on May 10th.
We greatly appreciate everyone's interest!
To answer a few of the questions I noticed in this thread, yes there is a 48-page little white book in the boxed set.
Chrysalis is tarot in every sense of the word, but it could be used as an oracle deck. All of our cards correspond to RWS interpretations, as well as offer their own insightful twists.
Chrysalis bends to tarot's psychological and spiritual attributes, which attracted Jung to tarot. And, as was suggested, it's a unique system we hope our users will find more relevant to today, easy to use and a lot of fun.
The suits are Stones, Mirrors, Spirals and Scrolls, which correspond to Pentacles, Cups, Wands and Swords, respectively. I made this change to open up new channels of creative inspiration.
The court cards have become The Troupe. These cards, again compatible with RWS interpretations, represent real people in the querent's life, past, present and future -- no one journeys alone. These folks pop up in a reading, and then into real life, in much the same way the Law of Attraction works: synchronicity, the product of a conscious feedback loop between the querent's unconscious mind and the universal Collective Unconscious. I'm publishing a piece tomorrow that elaborates on that point, and will post a link here.
The Chrysalis Blog at http://www.chrysalistarot.com/ contains additional information. I just reactivated our blog to augment the LWB and further explain the Chrysalis system.
Again, thank you so very much for your interest in our deck. Holly Sierra's art is fabulous, and our creative process itself was very Jungian: Holly and I have never met. We did wear out a couple of email accounts though.
