The Hero's Journey 78 Card Deck, Book and Box Set

About The Hero's Journey Tarot Set
Hero's Journey is the unpublished cards from Arnell's first deck and is the older, wilder sister to Transformational Tarot. The collage art combines contemporary imagery with old world art. This is a full size, 78 card handmade deck with signed book, signature card, and wooden, painted collaged box. The original cards were done by hand with a pair of cuticle scissors, glue stick and stacks of art books, old comics, greeting cards and magazines. It takes a full week to make this set. The cards are color copied off the original collages, cut out and individually pasted onto the specially designed backs and trimmed. They are then cut, laminated and trimmed a final time. This is a time consuming process and the reason for the high cost of the set. The box is also sanded, painted, re-sanded to a soft texture and then collaged. Each one is unique although two distinct versions are available, (sunny-yellow or blue-moon).
It's been well over a decade since Hero's Journey was created so Arnell spent a few months rescanning each handmade card and refining the collage detail in Photoshop in the hopes of offering a higher quality version of this deck without altering the original collage concepts. The booklet has also been updated with a more streamline look and thumbnail pictures of all the cards. All artwork is handcrafted by Arnell from start to finish.

Note: To celebrate the 2005 - 10th anniversary of this deck until further notice, all Hero's Journeys will have the familiar lizard, snake and spider card backs in their original full color (linoleum stamping) rather than the standard B & W version. Thank you for supporting handcrafted indie Tarot artwork.
