Design and Artwork

The Shadowscapes Tarot set, conceived by the renowned fantasy artist Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, is a masterful blend of ethereal beauty and intricate symbolism. Over six years of dedicated work, Law has created a hypnotic world populated with colorful dragons, armoured knights, and whimsical fairies. Each card in this Rider-Waite-based deck is a portal into a rich, vibrant fantasy realm, intricately detailed in Law’s signature watercolor style that melds Asian, Celtic, and fantasy elements.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck is not just a visual treat; it’s a journey through diverse cultural myths and folklore. The Major Arcana feature archetypical figures, while the Minor Arcana are represented by various animals – canines and felines for Cups, birds for Swords, lizards for Pentacles, and fish for Wands. Each card is bordered by a lightly metallic silvery purple, and the backs feature a detailed, reversible design, perfect for meditation and intuitive readings.

User Experience

Accompanying the deck is a pocket-sized booklet, providing snapshot interpretations of the cards’ meanings by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and unique spreads by tarot expert Barbara Moore. Despite concerns about card thickness and size, users find the deck durable and engaging, with the detailed imagery inviting deep exploration into each card’s story. The cards measure approximately one inch in thickness and are lauded for their resilience and ease of handling.
