Tarot Chimera : (83 Full-Color Cards and 200-Page Full-Color Guidebook)

A stunning, mysterious, and spirited tarot deck that uses Symbolist art to deepen your connection to your dreams and the guidance of spirit.The Tarot Chimera is a tarot deck and guidebook kit comprised of artwork by the well-known French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840-1916). Each of the eighty-three full-color cards with gold gilt edging has been digitally enhanced and interpreted for the tarot format.Symbolist artist on the cutting edge of surrealism, Odilon Redon’s work was a visual exploration of occult mysteries. His imagery-evocative of dreams and the deep unconscious-contains dark, fantastical figures from Redon’s own imagination and represents an exploration of internal feelings and the psyche. Redon’s imagery places “the logic of the visible at the service of the invisible” and thus provides a perfect pathway for the tarot.Following the structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, creator Nitasia Roland has allowed Redon’s imagery to naturally evolve into seventy-eight Major Arcana and Minor Arcana cards, with an emphasis on the “chimeric”-dreamlike, illusory, transformative. Five auxiliary cards deepen your tarot-reading experience: the Chimera (enhancing the Major archetypes), the Muse (relating to Cups/water), the Loci (relating to Pentacles/earth), the Trickster (relating to Wands/fire), and Imagination (relating to Swords/air).The card meanings are presented as non-gender-specific.The Tarot Chimera guidebook includes information on getting started and working with your tarot deck:A brief biography of Odilon Redon Guidance on how to magically consecrate your tarot deck Suggested traditional tarot card spreads Full-page tarot card interpretationsBeginner and advanced tarot readers alike will discover a new, deeper side of the tarot to explore through Redon and Roland.
