The record
The Korean Cultural Heritage Tarot Card deck is a Major Arcana only. This deck is beautifully illustrated, created with an extremely light touch, featuring images from Korean myth and legend. There are many striking images in this Arcana; both the High Priestess and The Empress wear sumptuous traditional Korean robes, and inscrutable gazes. The Lovers are depicted by a sweet couple embracing under a fall of cherry blossoms. The Chariot is a terrifying juggernaut bristling with spears; The Wheel of Fortune is most appropriately depicted as an unopened gift, resting on a background of multi-coloured sashes. Death shows a faintly sinister couple in a swirling black robes, with three people in yellow bowed down before them. The Devil is a pretty young woman with abundant red hair, holding a giant pearl the very essence of temptation. The Tower shows a stone castle or perhaps city gates in a state of collapse, topped with a raging inferno. The Sun is a plain altar dressed in an orange cloth surmounted by two candles and an incense burner, before a vast red curtain. The World is a candlelit board marked with the 8 trigrams that are the foundation of the I Ching. All the cards have fasc
