Check it out! 14 years of hard work from @stalkinghyena culminated in the above work of art.

I know there are many tarot fans and deck collectors on WF, and I implore you to help and support one of our own.

The artwork is gorgeous and nostalgic, and for me it's truly inspiring to see an iconic original contribution to the occult space by one of our own.

Really stunning artwork.

Now this is a cool deck. There's a lot of minimalistic decks out there that look "good" aesthetically, but they strip out all of the symbolism and the details, which are so important IMO. This is chock full of symbolism. Definitely caught my eye.

Yo go Stalkinghyena! Wow! Superb!

 

[enterthedragon369]

Wow, yes! Absolutely stunning artwork.

 

[Boswellia]

Truly beautiful!

I'm pretty sure you didn't actually read the link I sent, so let me clarify. There is a commenter on that reddit post, who is asking the following question of you:

Very Nice! Beautiful Artwork filled with Esoteric symbols, the creator really took his time with this. Is there a guidebook available?

Please either reply to that on reddit, or on here for me to relay the answer back to them.

I saw it and was planning to create a reddit account to reply to it this morning (or soon), but first I have to shovel like four feet of snow, lol! Lots of scramble atm.
But if it's quicker to relay, tell them huge thanks but no, no book yet. I am working towards making a journal on WF that could be a basis for a published book, but that's another type of scramble for me.
Thanks for sharing that link though Skull!

Ohhh you don't have a reddit account? :O

Fair play then, I'll relay the message for now, but feel free to make the account and personally reply to the comment as well. I'll make it clear that I am not the creator of the deck.

Looking forward to the Journal, I remember you talked about it. But still, if you could have a short condensed guide too, that would probably be great, you could post that in the Tutorials section.

But for now, would it be fine to tell the reddit commentor that they could just borrow techniques from other Tarot guidebooks/books? Perhaps I could recommend McCarthy's tarot book?

Lol, hadn't even thought of getting one. WF is my main squeeze

Appreciate that!

A condensed guide is a good idea and something I'll contemplate. My creative process is currently in armed revolt (it hates me, it wants new things). I would blame astrology, but my muses have ways of surprising me.

Perhaps I could recommend McCarthy's tarot book?

I haven't read McCarthy yet, but I was going to say in the intended Journal that any general interpretive system for Tarot will probably do. For decades I had always relied on Robert Wangs's appended list from Mathers, or Crowley's saliva, but these were just guides when I'm stumped. Mostly, I go by correspondences and visionary intuition, though it has long been a concern for me to explain to someone how to interpret the symbols in digestible fashion. Mostly I tell them to "make it your own" - meaning that I'm just the delivery guy. But this is an evolution.

SkullTraill, I'm the reddit poster who asked about the guidebook. Thank you for going through the trouble of asking about a guidebook and introducing me to wizard forum, which now I am member. Your effort is much appreciated.

Hi! I'm the deck creator and wish to thank you for your interest, which SkullTraill drew my attention to on reddit.
As he said, there is no guidebook for the Tarot yet, but I have just uploaded a journal that is meant to work in that direction:

Journal - The Tarot of the Golden Serpent Journal

This journal is meant to be an explanatory journey into the symbolism and development of my Tarot of the Golden Serpent, which I am currently offering for sale on the Wizard Forums. https://wizardforums.com/threads/the-tarot-of-the-golden-serpent.4951/ If you have any questions regarding the...
