The author's deck "Terracotta Tarot" by Alexandra Neronova can serve as an original working deck for practitioners, as well as an interesting collectible novelty for connoisseurs.
The unified style of this bright deck allows you to fully immerse yourself in the world created by the author with the cards of the "Terracotta Tarot".
A guidebook with detailed descriptions of all the cards is included with the deck. The cards are packaged in a stylish box made of dense cardboard and can make an excellent gift for experts.
The deck is made in the tradition of "Rider-Waite Tarot" and contains 78 cards.
Included: 78 cards of Terracotta Tarot; a guidebook from the author with detailed instructions. Alexandra Neronova's "Terracotta Tarot" is an author's deck that combines both classic understanding and interpretation of Major and Minor Arcana of Tarot, as well as images from ancient German and Dutch legends, myths of Ancient Greece and Rome, and mystical Western European literature of the 19th century. Each Major Arcana card has an author's sonnet, which serves as both a decoding and a riddle, while each Minor Arcana card has a key epigraph, also from the poems of Alexandra Neronova. All Major Arcana cards are color, while all Minor Arcana are made in terracotta tones, which gave the deck its name.
This deck has the usual number of cards – seventy-eight, 22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana, with no additional cards and no significant discrepancies from traditional images. The arcana "Strength" is represented as number 11, while the "Justice" arcana is number 8. The cards can be used in both upright and reversed positions. This deck has a rather light character (even despite a few harsh arcana), but it is not devoid of irony. It combines earthly balance and stability with mystical multilayered imagery. The people in it appear fragile, elongated towards the sky, and can these strange creations truly be called humans?
But the inhabitants of the "Terracotta Tarot" possess a tremendous will to live, love, act, create, and push the world forward.
