Pick a card

Lately I've been rediscovering the joys of Tarot with my beautiful new deck, the wild unknown tarot.

 

I find the total lack of any humans depicted in the deck both refreshing and disorientating, when dealing with the conventional set meanings for the cards.

The artwork is simple but evocative with mostly black and white sketches and spots of colour added to draw attention to focal points.

I think it will be a useful deck for learning to work with intuition over set definitions as it can be hard to apply the standard meanings to some of the cards, just going by the images.

 The prominence of animals and trees in the deck make it easy to imagine sitting in a misty wood, a dark cloak keeping the damp at bay while drawing the cards and laying them out on a convenient smooth tree stump. Perhaps watched over by a glossy black crow.  And that's no bad thing in my book, holding on to a bit of mystery in this very modern world we live in.
