Taro de Ceridwen
1995
Maria Teresa Wolff Moraes Modro
Brazil
Art Medium:
Pen drawings with watercolour or coloured ink.
Description:
This Brazilian Majors only deck has vibrantly coloured pen drawings. Some of the lines show some overdrawing, as if the images were first drawn in pencil then inked in. Each card is associated with a curative herb. Thus the Magician has Rosemary, the Empress has Digitalis and the Emperor is a species of Verbena. The name 'Ceridwen' might suggest that this deck reflects Celtic mythology, but this does not appear to be the source. Rather, this deck seems based around healing plants.
