Description:
This deck, consisting of Toppi's sophisticated pen and ink and watercolor art, is the perfect venue to express raw, primal archetypal conditions while maintaining the complexity of the human experience. The Tarots of the Origins reminds us of things deep, nearly forgotten, yet oddly familiar and strongly desired; it allows us to reconnect with our shared spiritual origins. In bypassing such historical concepts of "the Empress" and "the Emperor" and presenting instead "the Woman" and "the Man" and substituting "the Crowds" for "the Fool, " this deck provides much food for thought. In addition, the Minor Arcana suits reflect a more basic view. Cups becomes the suit of Soul; Pentacles is Jewels; Wands, Nature; and Swords, Blood. The court cards are: Man, Woman, Animal, Child. With this deck, we resonate not only with "as above, so below" but also with "as before, so now."
