Hi everyone! I'm so happy that I am finally going to try and publish my tarot deck (I'm going to launch a Kickstarter campaign in September).
Ten years ago I began to create my own deck of Tarot cards. I synthesized a lot of historic research about the meanings behind the cards over the centuries (my favorite deck is the Thoth Tarot, so I began my research from there), and I also overlaid a lot of my own personal mythology and understanding of the Tarot system.
I am still finishing some of the cards (though most are finished), and I also need to write a booklet about my symbolism. I have intentionally designed this deck to welcome personal (rather than highly prescriptive) interpretations, and I tried to make my artwork evocative both of the rich history of Tarot and of new understandings of the card concepts, and the connections between them.
Anyway, here are a few examples. Please let me know what you think! I've really enjoyed the questions and knowledgeable feedback I've seen posted in these forums.
