The record
My first thought when I heard the name Sun and Moon Tarot was that this was a deck that covers a lot of territory! The space between Sun and Moon to me is akin to the distance between A to Z! I was not disappointed. The artist, Vanessa Decort, has worked as an illustrator for childrens books and a designer of book covers. She now teaches art classes at the Academy of Art while pursuing her own projects. Her first Tarot deck was the Thoth Crowley, and that influence does show in this deck. The impetus to create this deck was to deepen her own understanding of the Tarot, and to share it with others. Her illustrations explore the worlds of fairy tales, myths, and fantasy, as well as personal experience. Her interests include astrology, Jungian psychology, alchemy, Kabbalism and symbols. This is a traditional 78 card deck, with the Major Arcana carrying the traditional titles, Justice as VIII and Strength as XI. (Some cards have two titles Death/Rebirth, Art/Temperance, and Aeon/Judgment.) The suits are Wands (Fire/Spiritual), Cups (Water/Emotional), Swords (Air/Rational) and Pentacles (Earth/Material). The Court Cards are Princess, Prince, Queen and King. There is no book wit
