Tarot Tuesday #10 - Negen van Lucht: Nature Tarot


Card: Negen van Lucht Expeditie (Nine of Light Expedition)
Deck: Nature Tarot
Artist: Jan Strube

About the Card:
The Negen van Lucht Expeditie is a photo collage card created by artist Jan Strube as part of a Dutch deck that has recently (March 2009) been finished in English. The card shows a lone figure pulling a sled across an Arctic landscape toward the brilliance of the Northern Lights. It is the Nature Tarot's equivalent of the Nine of Wands.

About the Deck: The Nature Tarot is in its second printing in its Dutch version. The artist has just completed an English version of the deck. This card is taken from the Dutch version. It is available through the artist's website, where you can also view a gallery of all the cards.

Tarot Tuesday #9 - Manifestation: Today's Journey Tarot



Card: Manifestation
Deck: Today's Journey
Artist: Chris Wilkey
About the Card:
Card #1 in the Today's Journey Tarot is named "Manifestation". It depicts a person who may be male or female standing before a blackboard and writing a complex mathematical equation. The table behind the person holds a deck of cards, a book and a pair of candlesticks.

About the Deck:
Once again, I've managed to find a deck in progress - this one by artist Chris Wilkey. The concept of the deck is to bring the experiences of the Tarot into the modern world. There have been other decks that attempted this - most notably the Housewife's Tarot which is absolutely delightful in its whimsy and insight. This deck is a bit more serious, and the artwork reflects the artist's intent to present the subject for serious consideration.

Post About: Your impressions of Mathematician as Magician, or anything else having to do with Tarot or this card.
