Saturday Showcase- The 7th World Tarot Deck

I am achingly aware that I have many, many tarot decks, more than I am ever going to be able to use in my lifetime, so many of them are just here for my own personal delight.  I very much enjoy the exercise of using each deck for a week, but if I stopped obtaining decks now (fat chance) it would take me about twelve years to use each one for a week on this blog, but they deserve to be seen!

The 7th World Tarot Deck, created by Australian artist Terry Whidborne is my feature for the day, and it is beautiful!  I am reminded of Alice in Wonderland, but under his own direction.  The Seventh World website is full of all manners of curious, quirky, and engaging art.  The deck itself is printed on sublime card stock, and so much fun to look at.  My only quibble, which is a matter of personal preference only, is the unillustrated pip cards, in the Marseilles tradition.

Nisaba Merrieweather has written a review about the deck here, and J. Dev has also written a review here.  One day I hope to add to their body of work, but go on over and see what they think after you take in these beautiful images!
