Description:
Apparently, Holly Defount did not initially intend to create a tarot deck, but she set herself the task of creating one piece of original art every day, usually in ACEO format. This discipline eventually took the form of creating a tarot deck, thus it arose 'incidentally'. Many of the cards in the Majors are renamed. Thus, The Magician is now the Red King, The Hierophant - the Cathedral, the Hermit - Blue Buddha, Hanged Man - Eclipse, Tower - Phoenix, and so on. The Suits are Arrows, Roses, Quills, and Oaks. The Princess and Prince of each suit are individually named, thus Princess of Arrows is 'The Messenger', Prince is renamed to 'The Archer'; Princess of Roses is 'The Muse', while the Prince of Roses is 'The Bard'.
