floatingleafIn the vein of my increasing fascination with the Tarot, I just want to share a few samples of this awesome deck inspired by Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, it appears to be an unfinished project; I did find the artist's DeviantArt page, but there's nothing there about the deck being available for purchase. There are just some random images floating about on Pinterest. It looks like they only designed the Major Arcana. There are other Lord of the Rings Tarot decks out there, but this one is by far the most impressive I have seen, and the only one I would be willing to spend money on. It's just... magnificent. Take a look:
The choice of Boromir as The Moon seems a bit surprising at first... but it actually works pretty well, when you think about it. And most of LOTR characters are so perfectly symbolic, they are just begging to be turned into divination tools. It's rather surprising that no-one has done a better job of it, so far.
That is all.
