Description:
The Holy Card Tarot is a collaged deck assembled by Patty Gallagher in the USA. It draws on some religious paintings of old masters together with some more recent illustrative material from Catholic pamphlets. The creator of the deck claims it is a "discovery of the common origin of spiritual themes and an opportunity to create a more inclusive religious symbolism of the West", but as she seems to draw exclusively from Catholic imagery and Saints this is unlikely to achieve that aim. It comes with an explanatory book on DVD in a rather fine hard black box.
