Touchstone Tarot

by Kat Black

Built on the premise that we have the answers we need within ourselves, this classical tarot card deck combines Old World atmosphere with surprisingly modern faces. Demonstrating the evocative and universal qualities of human expression, this is the first set of divination cards to consist entirely of portraits-most looking directly at the viewer to form a connection between the reader and the card. Each visage conveys an easy understanding of the cards unique meaning, allowing the deck to be used straight from the box without any special knowledge. Complete with a straightforward and informational booklet, the rich, dark colors and sumptuous costumes brings an antique look to this set based on the popular Rider-Waite-Smith card style. Book only.
