The Gold Lyre Tarot by Christine Scanlon and Lacy Martin is a 78-card deck distinguished by its modern, minimalist design. Each card reflects the divine feminine and the gender-fluid evolution of today's blended American culture. The deck uses real-life images to represent spiritual and dynamic locations within the earthly realm, emphasizing simplicity and everyday symbolism over complex hermetic imagery. The cards feature a slightly wider size than standard tarot cards, with matte texture and rounded edges, enclosed in an illustrated flip-top box with magnetic closure.
Grounded in the traditional suits and archetypes of the Smith-Rider-Waite deck, Gold Lyre Tarot approaches art with a 'less is more' philosophy. Central photographic images are set against muted backgrounds, enhanced with collage elements that symbolize the card's meanings. The deck emphasizes cultural diversity and queerness, offering a fresh perspective on traditional tarot themes.
The deck's aesthetic beauty and commitment to diversity make it appealing, particularly to those familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. The accompanying guidebook provides clear meanings and guidance, useful for beginners and those seeking alternative interpretations. However, the deck's minimalist style may require foundational tarot knowledge for full appreciation.
Lacy Martin, based in Connecticut, is a multifaceted artist, graphic designer, and yoga instructor, known for her work in solo and group exhibitions. Christine Scanlon, residing in Indiana, is a Reiki Master and intuitive reader, currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Together, they have created the Gold Lyre Tarot, merging their diverse talents and perspectives.
