The inspiration behind my project. Tarot; French cartomancy; transformation deck; analytical psychology; art; surrealism; symbolism; fingerprints; vintage prints; and illustrations (to name only a few.)

Diamond: Sensation, perception with our senses, childhood and earth.

Spade: Thinking, becoming part of society, early adulthood and air.

Heart: Intuition, abundance and fertility, midlife and water.

Club: Feeling, knowing without reasoning, late adulthood and fire.

Why is this deck unique? Each card tells a story. The whole deck paints the landscape of our lives with vintage engravings and prints—the ideal synergy between significance and design in a pack of cards. There is nothing like it out there—that’s why I’m doing it!

Cartomancy, divination? Yes, of course! The Cartomancer Poker Deck uses the existing structure of a standard deck of cards as a canvas for a new insightful cartomancy system. ALL the cards feature universal archetypes and symbols making it a very instinctive tool for divination. But if you're not into this, you will still enjoy the deck for its beauty and uniqueness.

The deck also was shipped with a 32 page companion booklet the size of the box, containing an introduction to the deck, keyword meanings for each card, and ideas for divination.

Whiskey is as American as apple pie. The oak tree on the front of the tuck box and seal - a symbol of the aging process for fine bourbon, matured in charred oak barrels to develop the distinct smoky flavour. This oak motif continues throughout the cards, from the Ace of Spades right around to the back design.

 

While bars before prohibition were predominantly male domains, in the 1920's many women flocked to speakeasies in their best flapper attire. We've taken inspiration from images of the era to design the court cards, the art-deco was very in-vogue at the time.

Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/305-absinthe/ Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks. Originally printed for the Prohibition Box Set, the Absinthe Version 2 deck has been tweaked slightly to keep the integrity in design, whilst also allowing you to own more than one deck, without having to buy multiple Prohibition sets. This deck is too cool for display, it has to be shown off...

Memento Mori from Art of Play featuring completely custom and unique suits with red faces. In this stunning deck designed by Michael Mateyko of KOMBOH CREATIVE, traditional suits have been reimagined to create stars, swords, flies, and feathers: symbols of order, aspiration, chaos, and scavenging respectively. The imagery adorning both the cards and ominous embossed tuck call attention to medieval existentialism, the occult, and divine mathematics; and believe us when we say, when we first saw them we were speechless. Printed by The United States Playing Card Company and packaged inside a custom tuck box featuring foil accents and a unique die-cut window with clear-plastic covering. Limited edition of only 2,500 decks.
