Art Medium:
Probably pen line coloured with watercolour, then printed in grey tones.
Description:
The Majors, which are renamed, do not reflect the established tarot images, though some clearly parallel these. Thus Dreamer is close to the conception of the Fool, Nurturer to the Empress, Shaman to the Hierophant, but most others do not seem to relate to the established archetypes. The Majors are all subtitled with the name of a plant - wild rose, cinquefoil, elder, peppermint, etc, The Minors have suits Feathers, Waves, Stone and Flame. They have emblems but these have no connection at all with the conventional emblems in the Rider-Waite Minors. The Minors are subtitled with various abstract ideas - discrimination, discipline, balance, freedom, etc.
