The Atavist Tarot

by Sally Annett, Rowena Shepherd

Overview

Ten years in the making, The Atavist Tarot is an artistic and magical tour de force -- an original and truly remarkable interpretation of the Tarot for the 21st century created by two extraordinary women. Indicating a return to primitive or ancestral forms, "atavist" perfectly describes the authors' intellectual and spiritual quest for fundamental principles. Having stripped away the irrelevancies accumulated over time, this fresh and vibrant new Tarot has emerged to enlighten and inspire a new generation of seekers after truth. Dynamic and colourful original paintings, etchings, photographs and sculptures have been skilfully re-mastered with the latest computer technology to create a stunning and contemporary deck suitable for beginners or seasoned practitioners seeking a challenging and thoroughly modern Tarot. Penetrating to the very heart of the Tarot tradition, this vibrant and expressive deck is ideal for meditation, spiritual inspiration and traditional Tarot readings.
