The record
Tarot of the Wyrd is a deck by an artist known as Celestae. It is available from The Gamecrafter. The deck is RWS based, and the images are heavily influenced by the artists love of Victoriana and dark Gothic imagery. The box is a Gamecrafter style box with a sealed bottom; it features the deck name and an image of the Devil card. The artists words from the back of the deck box: I invite you to take a walk into the world of teacups and Gothic Victoriana, a world of magic inspired by an era of eccentricity and regal splendor. Each card tells a story, and every image has its own personality within that story. Included in the box are the 78 cards of the Tarot deck and a small folded leaflet in black and white giving basic meanings for the cards. There is not title or artist signed card with this deck. The Major Arcana cards have Strength at number eight and Justice at eleven as in the RWS tradition. Justice shows a very stern looking guy in a top hat. The Fool shows a child with a pet dog, a very Victorian image and the card is called Initiation. The Magician is renamed The High Priest and The Empress and Emperor are The Mother and Father. The other card that has been renamed is Numb
