The Major Arcana in particular remains recognizable, while the Minor Arcana is playfully reinterpreted with new figures, colors and symbolism. Holly's illustrations are direct, expressive and sometimes raw - perfect for those who want to experience tarot as an art and as a tool for self-reflection.

It is a deck that invites spontaneity, feeling and your own interpretation.
