The record
Inspiration for the Far Sight came about by observing both the simplicity and diversity of life... My version of Ouroboros appears on all the cards' backs and also on card one, the GENIUS. This ever-fascinating symbol of perpetual change also (to my mind) bears a resemblance to the sign of infinity, a strong influence in this deck. Along with this concept of the unity of all things, close family, acquaintances and self are portrayed in metallic hues inspired by statues from antiquity, and somehow all come together with mythological characters, astrology, animals, chessboards, the Southern Cross and personal memorabilia to form the designs of the cards. - Helen Meinicke The publication of the beautiful Far Sight Tarot set is the culmination of a long creative project for local Brisbane artist, Helen Audrey Meinicke. Years ago, she designed and painted the cards in acrylics for her own personal use, "as a means of exploring the mysterious qualities of tarot through self-expression". Much more recently, she wrote the companion book, and now in 2007, they are available as part of a self-published cards and book set. I first saw the images for the deck at an early meeting of the Time
