The Canon's read
Tarot Canon's own assessment, written for this catalog.
The archive review gives the provenance with visible delight: Cerrithwen Genetti, daughter of Alexandra Genetti of the Wheel of Change Tarot, created this majors-only deck as a high school project, geometric flowers-of-life patterning carrying the trumps. Second-generation deck-making is nearly unheard of; tarot's makers rarely raise makers, and the catalog records here a craft actually passing through a household.
Juvenilia is the wrong word for it; the review treats the work on its merits, and the sacred-geometry theme, the flower of life being the overlapping-circles matrix esoteric geometry prizes, is ambitious material handled with youthful directness. The deck's value is doubled regardless: a readable majors set and a document of inheritance. It suits collectors of the Genetti family's work, teachers who want proof the tradition regenerates, sacred-geometry readers, and anyone moved by a lineage visible in the making. The Wheel of Change stands nearby in spirit; its daughter deck holds its own corner.
