With fresh, contemporary artwork, Sun and
Moon Tarot gives a modern twist to ancient spiritual symbols. By
playfully incorporating mythology and astrology, Vanessa Decort brings
unique interpretations to traditional tarot, presenting a deck that is
both insightful and accessible.
Decort describes the deck this way: "The Sun And Moon Tarot considers
universal archetypes and cultural symbols, and also incorporates the
artist's own personal symbols."
Although the deck at first seems spare and simple at first glance, it is somewhat based on Crowley's Thoth, using the titles that Crowley used for the images, with some cards double-titled to bridge the symbolism of the Thoth with that of the standard Rider-Waite deck which shows up clearly in the minors.
Other influences appear throughout the deck: The Kabbalah, Alchemy, Astrology and even Yoga. All these elements are brought together in such a unified fashion, that at first glance, the deck seems simple. But it will hold up to those who work with various systems of correspondence.
