Reviews

Having gone above and beyond to achieve these goals Ms. Carter could be found celebrating along with the artists and their friends at the Deck Launch & Art Exhibition in the Wellington County Museum on Friday the 13th of September (2013). So much positive energy and momentum for this group endeavor had been rallied that the town's Mayor officiated the ceremony. Most of the art is well executed and Tarot inspired while also being impactful and/or aesthetically pleasing; whether it be painting, photography, sculpture, or mixed media. Quite a few cards in this deck share unusual and refreshing perspectives, such as the 8 of Swords. The artist Karen Huband shared this in the LWB:

"I think many people experience the stagnation that this card represents at some point in their lives. We are capable of shifting and moving forward yet we may be afraid of the energy required to change. Though we no longer carry swords on our belts; I do see a few floating around in cocktails. I felt the drink could represent a failure to move forward; a substance that can keep us blind to possibility. For the source card (Waite-Smith - 8 of Swords) I retained the castle, now a photo of a ruin, and the binding around the figure in the subtle roping of the dress fabric."

It is also worth mentioning that the elusive Happy Squirrel card (which is an affectionate nod to the Simpson's episode when Lisa went to a Tarot reader) is beautifully rendered by artist Julie Denneny for this deck. The coordinator's attention to detail can be found in many other ways such as making the cards large to better enjoy the fine art details. And adding each artist's name to their card in an unobtrusive manner; giving them that extra bit of honor and recognition.

This set is offered in two forms: a standard version which includes a 79 card deck (with bonus 'happy squirrel' card) and an interesting 80-page booklet of each artist's approach and process. This comes shrink-wrapped in a cardboard envelop-style box with velcro closures. 500 limited-edition sets come in fancier boxes and are autographed by most of the artists. Shelley Carter in Her Own Words...

"A Tarot deck is a perfect venue for a group project – each card is an individual work of art on its own, and then becomes part of a larger piece as a collaboration. There was magic at work when the community got together and created something extraordinary."
