The Mushroom Tarot 2nd edition Chris Adams is an artist and amateur mycologist from Oregon, and that shows in every card.

The Byzantine Tarot The Byzantine Tarot draws directly from the iconographic art of the Eastern Roman Empire. Cilla Conway painted 78 cards in the style of Byzantine mosaics and icons, dominated by gold, deep ruby red and royal blue.

Language: English (handwritten texts on the reverse) Quality: Heavy card stock, large format approx. 89 x 146 mm, delivered in a two-piece lidded box Contents: 44 cards The size and thickness of the cards make them difficult to shuffle in the usual way; most people fan them across the table or draw one from the spread.

Lenormand della Luna – Paradoxical Edition This is the same artwork Patrick Valenza created for the Classic edition, with one fundamental difference: the colour values are inverted. Shadows turn light, light areas turn dark. The result is a high-contrast deck with an almost luminous quality that makes the Grand Tableau easy to read across a table.

The Oracle of Many Paths James R. Eads designed this oracle as a single continuous landscape: all 78 cards fit together to form one vast map of a forgotten world, seen from above. Every path either continues into the next card or stops without warning. The back of each card is marbled using the traditional Ebru technique, in which pigment floats on water before being transferred to paper.
