RE: Tarot / "Sigil Arcanum" Majors
Wow this looks cool! I'll keep an eye on this progress, I don't currently own a tarot deck.
A funny story - I once tried to buy a deck as a gift for someone, and the White Witch running the shop wouldn't allow me! She said you must never choose on someone else's behalf, an individual must choose their own as the deck chooses them. So I bought a gift voucher instead, and my friend used the voucher to order a different deck, which were out of stock. 6 months passed and still no sign of the tarot deck. In the end, my friend just bought the one I had originally tried to buy her!!
Thanks for the interest! I think that shop owner's reasoning is bunk. Tarot decks make great gifts, in fact it's often said that your first deck should be a gift. However, I don't believe it goes either way. My first deck was one that I bought for myself, but it was also because I don't know anyone who would do that for me. Either way, you get a deck, and it'll be cool.
As for my deck here, I'm hoping to have the Kickstarter up and rolling in the next few months. I still need to create the social media presence, but now the designs are done!
Thanks for commenting too btw.
Ah you're planning a kickstarter? Cool. The art work really speaks for itself. I saw this post because @tarotbyfergus resteemed it. Good to know for sure that gifting tarot won't unleash bad juju. Are you making a book to go with it?
I am writing a book for it! It will include a page for each minor, two pages for each major, several spreads, and some information about scrying. The 79th card in the deck is the back image on both sides, a solid black box with a double Fibonacci square on either side of a staring eye (The last image on the poster). When all is said and done, the black portions of the back design will be mirror-like black surfaces. On both sides of the card.
The Sigil Arcanum is sort of a pet project of mine, but it's been fun to work on, now I just need to get it made.
@tarotbyfergus is a friend of mine, he's a tarot and palm reader at the metaphysical shop I work at. Also, the Kickstarter will hopefully be online in the next couple weeks, and will go live in March or April. More to come on that!
Wow this is all rather exciting! The 79th card image/back logo looks a bit like an Egyptian god head/heads. Thanks for all the info, I really dig the style and I always like it when the deck has its own book. Keep up the good work and keep us all posted on progress!
