Myth of Arrival

I have had this idea for an ocean-themed Tarot deck for years but only recently did I start to actually sketch out the cards. I wanted to be as faithful to the Rider-Waite deck as possible and still keep a maritime flavor to it. Thus, for example, card 10, Wheel of Fortune is now Migration. Card 11, instead of the traditional "Justice," is now, "La Siren," the Haitian mermaid of beauty.

It was pointed out to me, however, that no one could actually see any details on the deck I was slowly drawing and posting. The thumbnails were, it seemed, far too small. So I uploaded the twelve cards I have come up with so far on Photobucket and we shall try again.

In earlier posts I wrote long, dry essays about each card and my view on how they functioned. I am not including those here. The images are enough for now. I will continue to post new images as they come to me. Until then, please, enjoy.
