Description

ONLY 3 Days left for our Kickstarter The Legend of Tarot!   A Tarot deck that uses the visual language of videogames.

Meet Death!

"Some older versions of the Tarot portray the Death figure swinging his scythe as he walks through a field where severed heads, hands, and feet lie scattered; however, blades of grass have sprouted up around them, conveying the idea that the forces of destruction can clear the way for new growth. Some of the more modern decks...include symbols of rebirth, such as the mystic white rose portrayed on Death’s banner in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck and some of its variants.”

Tarot for a New Generation by Janina Renee

 Death is a card about the endless cycles of life. Death is part of life, just as thirst and hunger are a part of being full. By knowing that you will die, you can value life in all its richness. Just as a forest fire destroys the old trees and allows for new growth, so the Death card ‘destroys’ our old image of ourselves and allows new personal development. When Zelda disappears in the middle of game, she can be said to be ‘dead’, and in her place is Sheik, the mysterious new identity. Under the guise of Sheik, Zelda can accomplish many new things that she wouldn’t have attempted as a princess. Many people ask about the Death card and if it is unlucky when they first get their cards read. The Death card reminds us that to gain something, we must first lose something else.

This is one of my personal favorite cards, and I use it as my signifier all the time =D

I understood what Sheik was really, when I played Smash Bros, you look cute as Zelda.
