Each card looks like a miniature stained-glass window, filled with color and fine detail. The imagery stays recognizably traditional tarot, but it gains a different glow through the lines, panels, and illuminated feel of the design. Symbolism sits at the center, and the artwork invites you to look longer.
Tarot deck: 78 full-color cards and an accompanying book of 336 pages, in English, published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Company.
This tarot deck follows the classic 78-card structure and uses stained glass as a visual language to reimagine the tarot archetypes. The cards are meant to be contemplated one by one or laid out in a spread, with attention to the mystical symbolism connected to the archetypes.
The accompanying book provides thorough meanings for every card in both the Major and Minor Arcana, for upright and reversed appearances. It also explores each card’s esoteric symbolism, and for the 22 Major Arcana cards it explains how each one fits into the progressive soul’s journey from The Fool to The World.
For the Minor Arcana, the author gives detailed write-ups for each card rather than only keywords. He describes ways to weigh interpretations based on the situation, addresses common concerns that can arise when reading, and includes instructions on how to use the cards. The book explains a variety of spreads and offers a glimpse into tarot history and its connections to astrology, numerology, alchemy, the Western esoteric tradition, and the teachings of Carl Jung.
About the physical quality, it is stated that the cards have a nice weight and finish, making shuffling feel smooth.
