Design and Artwork
The Shimmering Veil Tarot, created by Cilla Conway, is an artistic tarot deck inspired by the concept of an eight-dimensional universe. Each card in this deck is a unique creation, painted in oils, and based loosely on the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot. Conway's approach integrates elements from myths and personal resonances, such as The High Priestess and the Cretan Snake Goddess. The deck's artwork is described as a cosmic journey, with each card offering a deep, spiritual exploration beyond the veil of our conventional reality.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck’s theme revolves around the idea of multi-dimensional universes and the journey of self-development. The Shimmering Veil Tarot includes 80 cards, featuring two versions of The Fool and two Fire Queens, symbolizing the evolution from naive infancy to enlightened simplicity. The suits represent the elements (Fire, Air, Water, and Earth), each embodying different aspects of human experience. The deck invites users to delve into deeper dimensions of life, moving beyond material concerns to embrace higher truths and self-awareness.

The cards, with symbols and numbers positioned in the lower right, challenge users to engage with the deck intuitively.
