The record
When I first became interested in Tarot several years ago, my parents offered me two of their decks that had gone unused to choose from for my own. The one my father offered was interesting in that, if I recall correctly, each suit progressively told a Greek myth through its pictures, while still maintaining Tarot imagery, meanings, and symbolism. It intrigued me, as I was interested in Greek mythology at the time, but I didn't want to choose right away. I then looked at my mother's offering, and was awestruck. It was the Tarot of the Old Path, and as soon as my hands touched this deck, I felt a sense of pride flow through me. Being raised a Wiccan most of my life, the imagery and art sounded a bell in my heart and spirit. The deck called to me, to my sense of faith. By using symbols and meanings pertaining to Wicca, Rowley and Gainsford created a Tarot deck that I connected with instantly. I chose it over the mythology deck my father offered. I wanted that connection with my faith and beliefs, and felt that this deck could bring me peace and a deeper understanding of my spiritual path. Physically, although the deck is about 10 years old, it is still like new. Each Major Arcana car
