The record
Tarot Card Misty is cute, sweet and a little bit strange. The deck focuses primarily on people, rather than abstract symbols, involved in esoteric doings. The images themselves have a strong foundation in manga-style art beings with elfin faces, big eyes, willowy bodies - in primarily Asian settings. It is too bad that the accompanying instruction book is written in Korean, because I would dearly like to know the meanings and/or intent of some of the symbols and details. What is in the pile of occult rubble The Magician perches on; is The Emperor wearing a mask or is he deformed; is The Devil really carrying a severed head; why is Death accompanied by Alices White Rabbit; is a cloaked person really twisting an Angels head off in Judgement? Each card has a keyword, if you can call them that, above the image. Something somewhere has been lost in translation, or gone peculiarly awry. While some of the keywords imake sense in a direct, or even circuitous, way others are just bizarre. It is worth repeating all of them here, because the collective impact is lost in giving only one or two examples. The Fool Genius; The Magician Famous; The High Priestess Fastidious; The Empress
