swan_towerI've been meaning to post this one for a while: another friend of mine is also doing a tarot-oriented Kickstarter Project, for a "sequel" of sorts to the traditional deck. I have to say, I find the approach of this one rather shiny:
I especially like the new suits and their meaning. It's a fascinating act of symbol-creation, that really makes the ears of my inner folklorist perk up.
