Nil Orange and Alejandro C. Luna, creators of the Visual Zodiac have turned their attention to tarot cards. Their beautiful deck the Orange Luna Tarot (OLT) has finally been published (largely through crowdfunding) and it certainly has been worth the wait. Inspired in part by the Tarot de Marseille (a collection of decks similar in design and manufactured in the French city of Marseille) the Orange Luna Tarot smooths out the rustic design of the Tarot de Marseille (TdM) and adds much gorgeous colour to the deck.

Of course the Marseille deck famously has a pip card Minor Arcana whereas the Orange Luna Tarot has a fully illustrated Minor Arcana. This is a wholly original creation of the artists, and ably reflects commonly accepted divinatory meanings. The titles too reflect the heritage of this deck, with The Fool listed by his alternate name The Juggler, The High Priestess is The Popess, and The Hierophant is The Pope.
