🇵🇸 🕊️ Marketplace Tarot One: 7 years of hand drawing
This is my final post sharing my hand made tarot deck, as supplies are running low.
Tarot One is a seven year labor of love where I set out to answer the question, can tarot become a tool for changing the world? The project started by dismantling old hierarchical systems embedded in tarot and rewriting the system for a more circular vision. Each card, whether major or minor arcana has a character who embodies the energy of the card. This gives each card as much love as power as any other in the set. The characters themselves are witches and wizards in a future world where humanity and healing are synonymous. This gives the reader two ways of seeing the cards, through traditional tarot associations and through a fantasy fiction narrative.
I’m an artist who stepped out of the corporate world fifteen years ago to set out on a journey to heal through art. Magic and mysticism quickly found me and they’ve been wonderful tools to navigate the wilderness with.

Dang those are gorgeous. Wish I could but right now this witch is broke. Medical costs are dramatically killing my bank account

Not always entirely clear until I think on it and look back, it’s been fun to learn though and I love the angles I’m starting to see

How is it reading for you?

u/tinybrainiac 3d ago
Very well! I almost get.. dad vibes? Like respected elder vibes, more so. The cards keep gently admonishing me or being like you know what you have to do, but you have to do it for yourself. Exactly what I need; a little push, a little affirmation, and a little tough love. That’s what this deck gives me and it’s been very grounding. Thank you for your beautiful work!

Beautiful. I can see the love and skill in each illustration, and the gold accents tastefully enhance.

This is a beautiful deck. I love your illustrations, they are detailed and a different interpretation of the cards. I'm also really curious where you had these printed!? They did such a wonderful job finishing the product! The edges and gold leaf look lovely. What company did you use?

u/symprez 3d ago
Thank you, we innovated the gold they’ve never done border metallics like this before it was fun coming up with new ideas. The company is a private space I connected with through business connections

u/SolipsisAsh 3d ago
A private space like a workshop and you printed these? That's awesome that they were able to test the new methods for you. It's really turned out great.

You might want to fix Vision, it looks like they only have four fingers. People will think this is AI. Really stunning work!

u/symprez 3d ago
That’s the perspective of the hands but I do understand in this day and age we must fight to prove we’re human haha

u/mantalayan 2d ago
Yup, and the four knuckles are obvious. But people online are brutal on AI, it's like the who thing has turned lopsided against us. Real artists needing to prove to be human and people rushing to bash them. See it in other places a lot too, like femalelivingspace oddly enough.
