the Moon Tarot Deck by ZADOK
A collage, pen & oil pastel deck of 22 major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The deck contains Cabalistic, Wiccan, Biblical & Mythical imagery - yet it still holds to the traditional interpretation of the Tarot. The name of this deck was derived from the Great Mystical Ruler of the night sky. The Moon has many mansions of mystical forces and beauty that play an important role in all life forms. The moon is our closest neighbor in the universe as our Mother Earth hangs on nothing. ZADOK
