There was a lot of input from the community when working on the Hierophant & we really appreciate how everyone contributed to give this card a unique concept and look. Here are a few glimpses from the process.
The Suit of Wands, those fair roses and sturdy stems, are now slowly materializing as our first full line up of pips. Here are some sketches on our way to the currents cards.
There, each desire is perfect, ripe, intact;
and only there, within that final sphere,
is every part where it has always been.
The World marks the end of the Tarot cycle and is full of mysteries, when looking upon it closer. One needs to unravel them first to find a path forward, which we attempted with our own take on it.
Nothing quite says new beginnings like the Page of Wands. It was the ideal card to start this part of the production phase, here are some of our concepts that led to the final design.
I know an isle where the wild winds blows,
Where cashew and the dragon tree grows,
Quite over-canopied with pomegrenate,
With sweetest roses and moraceae.
Dissolve me into ecstasies,
And bring all Heaven before mine eyes.
And may at last my weary age
Find out the peaceful hermitage.
"O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live;"
"As a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars,
my will and my desire were turned by love,
The love that moves the sun and the other stars.”
"The Future and the Past are idle shadows
Of thought’s eternal flight, they have no being:
Nought is but that which feels itself to be."
We emerge from our hiatus with The Hermit, the first card of a full Tarot deck made by @viv_tanner & @_elibaum for the Sefirot game.
