The record
A renowned author on the Faery tradition of Wicca, Kisma Stepanich offers a rather singular system of Tarot based on her own spiritual awakening and research. The Faery Wicca Tarot is reportedly inspired by a visitation from the Danu while the creator of this deck was meditating atop Sliabh na Cailligh in Ireland. During this revelation, she realized that each of the four suits represented the Faery cities of the underworld and each pip card symbolized a portion of a journey to those cities. As one can easily tell, this is quite a unique deck that may prove to be a rewarding challenge to the reader interested in Faery cosmology. This challenge, however, is likely to be more significant for the beginning reader or someone who is deeply enmeshed into the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) system. Although Stepanich maintains much of the meanings associated with the RWS framework, the translation of the cards into the Irish Faery counterparts may be somewhat disconcerting to the new reader. In this deck, wands become Tine, cups are Uisce, pentacles are Domhan, and swords become Aer. Similarly, pages are now Ainnir, knights translate to Ridire, queens become Banrion, and the kings are now Ard Ri.
