5 Cent Tarot

www.marytcusack.com/maryc/decks/html/Tarot/5Cent.htmlThe 5-cent Tarot is a completely different take on traditional tarot. I wanted to create a fun and whimsical deck loosely inspired by Victorian era poster art. Using vintage images and remnants of biological and botanical ephemera, this deck also incorporates keywords in both the upright and reverse positions. There are no people in this deck, but animals and insects with sometimes human accessories and elements. The compositions also employ the symbolism from traditional tarot and are therefore, RWS-adjacent. Here, however, pentacles are buttons, swords are needles, wands are matchsticks and cups are teacups.
