Author, Illustrator, and Artist James Flowerdew is giving us a first look into his tarot deck and creative journey. There is a leaning towards the old french decks and the Visconti-Sforza deck, as well as many others. The most modern one is the Crowley Thoth deck. The Major Arcana is inspired by the Marseille Tarot.
James has stayed true to the tradition of Tarot in this deck. Most decks predating the Rider Waite style only had numbers for the pip cards. An exception is the Tarot Sola Busca, a clear inspiration to the Rider Waite deck.
In this video, you will also see his Rune deck which is currently for sale through the Wyrd shop (link to shop). His book The Runes, A Grounding in Northern Magic is on Amazon. You can learn more about James Flowerdew here.
Many of the decks were created while in the Argon bookstore and coffee shop in Edinburgh. This made me smile as many of my tarot cards were created while in coffee shops :)
