Who doesn&#8217;t? I have a stupidly huge amount of tarot decks considering I can barely use them. That doesn&#8217;t stop me from collecting them. I like all different styles of decks, but once you get to a certain critical mass, you start looking for decks that bring something different to the topic. This was why I invested in The Tarot of Bones Kickstarter, and am now the proud owner of the deck with accompanying guide by Lupa.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you may recognize Lupa from a review I did of her book <a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/?p=8726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Paths to Animal Totems: Three Alternative Approaches to Creating Your Totemism<\/a>. She&#8217;s well known for her interest in and connection with nature. She&#8217;s an artist\/crafter that works in animal bone and skins. And what started as an artistic interpretation of the Five of Pentacles for a tarot themed art show turned into a passion project to retell the tarot through natural elements.<\/p>\n<p>Assorted wood, animal bones, rocks, shells, and dried greenery create a tarot deck unlike anything before it. The accompanying book, The Tarot of Bones Companion Bookis a fascinating read, offering a unique perspective on tarot interpretation through the eyes of the animal kingdom. The book will work if you&#8217;ve never used a deck before, and offers insights that even an experienced reader will find interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know. Enough talk,you&#8217;re saying, show me what the cards look like!I hear you, and here are a couple of images to whet your whistle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/magician-edit3-164x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12660\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/tarot-of-bones-back-edit-165x300.png\" alt=\"The back of the cards.\" width=\"165\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12645\" \/>\n<p>By this point you&#8217;re hopefully kicking yourself for not supporting the Kickstarter campaign so you could get your own Tarot of Bonesdeck and companion book. Well don&#8217;t panic because you can buy your own copy right now from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetarotofbones.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.thetarotofbones.com<\/a>! But, if you&#8217;re feeling lucky, perhaps I could interest you in a giveaway?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right! Lupa, the creator of The Tarot of Boneswas nice enough to give me a deck and book to giveaway to one lucky reader! This contest is open internationally to readers aged 16 or older.
