The record
Art is one of the great sources of inspiration to humanity, and conversely inspiration is the cause of great art. The Tarot Of Inspiration takes its lead from 400 years of magnificent paintings, showcasing masterworks of Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Romanticism, Academic, Pre-Raphaelite, and Realist art to dazzling effect. This is an 85 card deck, it has 23 Major Arcana, 60 Minor Arcana, and 2 additional cards - The Happy Monkey, and Tabula Rasa. The Major Arcana is for the most part conventional, it has standard titles and it follows A E Waites ordering. It does however had two versions of The Lovers; one version shows the classic *choice* scenario - a man chooses between two women, the other version of shows a loving couple, where the choice has obviously been made. The Minor Arcana has four suits Pentacles, Wands, Swords, and Cups. Each suit has 10 number cards and 5 court cards Page, Princess, Knight, Queen, and King. The Happy Monkey card represents "unexpected pleasant coincidence that needs to be used wisely to avoid unintended consequences". Tabula Rasa represents the idea of an indeterminate future, and information which is yet to be revealed. The cards measure 75 x
