Archeon Tarot
From Tarotpedia
Contents |
[edit] Description
Moody, dreamlike deck based on the creator's personal symbolic system. Timothy Lantz created the evocative images using digital collage. The deck is a fully illustrated Tarot following the Golden Dawn structure, but the images depart radically from the familiar Waite-Smith scenes and make no use of occult symbolism.

Timothy Lantz: "Had I lived in the late 19th Century, I'd like to believe I would have been a Symbolist. The truth is I'll never actually know, but I believe I would have felt at home among that scene. Much of what I do in the way of artistic endeavor has a Symbolist quality to it and perhaps nothing more so than this, The Archeon Tarot.
Begun in the late stages of October 2003, this project is my first attempt at creating a tarot deck, but it is also something of a personal journey. Each of the 78 images in the Archeon Tarot relies heavily on the symbolism inherent in my mind. What this means is that it is a curious mixture of traditional and non-traditional imagery from varied sources thrown into the blender of my subconscious. There will be things that you recognize, cultural and social conventions, but their interpretations may not always be what you'd expect.
Consider The Archeon Tarot a window into the mythology of one man's world, or at least... how he imagines his world to be."
