The Gorgon's

A round deck places itself in a specific lineage whether or not it means to. The archive puts The Gorgon's Tarot in the tradition of Motherpeace and Daughters of the Moon, the two decks that made the circular format shorthand for feminist and goddess-centered reading, and Dolores Fitchie works as a graphic artist rather than an occultist. The round card is not a decorative choice. It removes the reversal, since a circle has no fixed upright, and it pushes reading toward relation and position rather than the binary a rectangle enforces. Decks that adopt the format without adopting that logic tend to feel like a shape applied to a standard deck. Read as part of the woman-centered lineage it names, this one has the reasoning to go with the form. It suits readers working in that tradition, collectors of round decks, and anyone studying feminist tarot's visual history. Readers attached to reversals will need to adjust, since the form removes them.
