I've published my first Tarot Deck!!!

| Lylliths' Tarot - now available! |
I have been working on this deck for a while now, getting the coloured pencils out whenever I've had some "me time" and after quite a few months (technically a couple of years if we're being honest lol) it finally feels right to get these cards published and out into the hands of others :)
This deck is inspired by the Rider-Waite tarot imagery with my own spin on the cards.
Major Arcana - Each of these cards features a scene relevant to the cards' message. Some are visually similar to the traditional Rider-Waite, while others are completely different and unique to this deck. I have included Astrological symbols for reference, along with the use of colour and other symbology within the images to highlight the meanings and messages of the cards.
Minor Arcana - I decided to keep the "suits" fairly simplified for a couple of reasons. The first being that over the past couple of years teaching Tarot to beginners, I've noticed just how overwhelming it can all be, I beleive that by keeping the suits simple with colour and the arranging of symbols on each card will help those using this deck in readings - particularly anyone who has never used tarot before which makes this deck perfect for all levels. My second reason for this is quite simple in itself - I just wanted to keep the Minor Arcana more simplified.
Suits are colour coded to represent the Elements along with the tools of magick - Pentacles, Cups, Wands and Swords (Athames). For some these will be reversed, as I associate Swords with the element of Fire and Wands with the element of Air. Directions are according to the Southern hemisphere.
I also incorporated imagery with the Aces and Court cards, the Aces feature plants associated with their element while the Queens and Kings hold crowns and the Page shows letters. The Knights are a tad unique as I've included the image of a Labrynth to represent change of direction.
