Tarot of Northern Shadows
1997
Sylvia Gainsford
Switzerland
Art Medium:
Watercolour or acrylic paintings without outlines.
Description:
Gainsford and Rodway also produced the Tarot of the Old Path. For the Norther Shadows the imagery appears more inspired by Norse and Celtic mythology. The Majors show Norse and Celtic figures, many with totem animals. Rods have Norse gods and goddesses, Cups use Welsh Celtic heroes and heroines from The Mabinogion, Swords show characters from British Celtic including a depiction of Tintagel, and Discs feature Irish Celtic figures. All of these are depicted in a medieval, rather than a Dark Age setting.
