Description
An account of the resource
78 cards plus a signed title card, with a handwritten note from the artist. No box or bag came with this deck. The cards are small, measuring about 9.7 cm tall x 5.7 cm wide. The deck is handmade, and the cards were home-laminated on both sides by the artist. The cards are quite smooth and flexible.<br /><br />The card backs are plain white, and thus reversible.<br /><br />Strength is VIII and Justice is XI. The Fool is numbered 0. <br /><br />Suits are Swords, Cups, Pentacles, and Wands. The court cards are Page, Knight, Queen, and King.<br /><br />This deck follows the RWS system throughout, and the minor arcana are somewhat scenic, though they do not feature any people. The art was drawn with colored markers. <br /><br />The title card is signed and dated by the artist. but is not numbered. I know that production of the deck was very limited, but I cannot remember if Tracy ever mentioned how many copies she created, or intended to create.<br /><br />Not much of the original internet discussion of the deck remains available now, but Adam McLean lists a copy in <a href="https://www.alchemywebsite.com/tarot/database/record593.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">his online database</a>. A few discussion threads from the Aeclectic Tarot Forum come up when I Google search for this deck, but I suspect much of the initial chatter regarding its creation, availability, and purchase happened within subscriber-only threads that are no longer available. <br /><br />From what I recall, Jackdaw (Tracy Smith) created a relatively small number of these decks, which she offered for sale to Aeclectic Tarot Forum members whom she liked--myself among them. <br /><br /><strong>Storage note</strong>: I house my copy in a sparkly silver drawstring bag, lined with pink satin, with a front pocket and beading embellishment. I keep the note from Tracy folded in the pocket. I cannot remember if Tracy made the bag, or if it was someone else on Aeclectic who did, but I distinctly remember being excited about buying it (or perhaps receiving it in trade?).
