Description
An account of the resource
78 cards in a high-quality, custom-made flip-top box with a ribbon inside for safely lifting and removing the cards. Along with the deck and box, the set also includes:<br /><ul><li>a signed and numbered card indicating that this copy is 75/200 from the first edition</li>
<li>a beautiful, handmade accordion-style folding booklet with more information about the deck and cards</li>
<li>a card with verses of Matteo Boiardo on both sides</li>
<li>a business card with a handwritten thank you note, signed by Steve Gammon</li>
</ul>
Also of note is a burgundy cardstock band wrapped around the deck, with the Jook Tarot seal stamped in gold wax.<br /><br />The cards measure 12 cm tall x 7 cm wide. The card stock is thin and moderately flexible, with a smooth, mostly matte finish. I'm not sure how well this deck would stand up to routine shuffling; I advise exercising care when handling.<br /><br />The card back design is fully reversible.<br /><br />Strength is VIII and Justice is XI. The Fool is numbered 0.<br /><br />Suits are Fear (<em>Swords</em>), Jealousy (<em>Wands</em>), Hope <em>(Coins),</em> and Love (<em>Cups</em>). The court cards are Page, Knight, Queen, and King.<br /><br />Each card (minors, courts, and majors) features a different black and white photo of silent film actress Theda Bara. In the background, the major arcana have text from PD Ouspensky's <em>Symbolism of the Tarot</em> while the minor arcana contain verses from 15th century poet Matteo Boiardo (1441-1494). <br /><br />As the artists note on the deck's website: "Boiardo wrote a three-line poem for each card, and these are shown in their entirety on each minor card in the deck."<br /><br />Initially marketed via an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign in 2018, the deck was eventually completed and sold via Jook Art's Etsy store. Buyers were given a choice of box colors and patterns; by the time I purchased my copy, the choices were very limited, but I absolutely LOVE the color I ended up with -- a sort of silvery-lilac with a lace-like pattern.<br /><br />Jook Art is a father/daughter collaboration of Steve and Katie Gammon.
