Holiday Cards

Here's an odd little tidbit -
Did you know there's a Halloween Tarot deck? Probably not a big surprise once you think about it - plenty of symbology to work with, and they make so many that there's probably a Hello Kitty Tarot.

They changed the suits from Coins, Cups, Swords, and Wands to Pumpkins, Ghosts, Bats, and Imps.
The cards were designed in the Rider-Waite tradition by Karin Lee with artist Kipling West for US Games.
Here's the card back design, and the Major Arcana cards:



Sadly, my old hand crafted tarot deck was destroyed before we had home scanner technology.
