Right and left brains collide in this game of
creativity. Surreal imagery is merged with modern interpretations based
on psychology, numerology, the Kabbalah, and original tarot concepts.
The Tarot of Creativity functions as a creative tool, as well as a Tarot and as an Oracle deck; you can use it in a traditional Tarot spread, or as an oracle card to help you get in touch with your higher self, with your creative muse, and help you with your creative process.
The deck is illustrated with original paintings that were executed over a 15 year period; it has taken nine years to complete. It started out as a conceptual art experiment in 2004 which resulted in my first deck, The Transformational Tarot, a digital game that was exhibited in national art shows.
The Tarot shows us five distinct paths of personal mastery, each represented by a suit in the deck. My deck shows that the path to creative manifestation follows the exact same path: the path of Fire (wands) represents pure creative force/direction, Air (swords) represents thought/creative inspiration, Water (cups) stands for emotional mastery, and when the initial creative spark gets to the Earth suit, the creative force manifests in material form.
The path to creative manifestation can be seen by following a number through the various paths until it emerges at its highest expression in the corresponding number in the Arcana. One can go through each path vertically. The royal cards represent the mastery of each suit, or ultimate flowering of that particular path. I based the titles of the arcana in the original traditional keywords for each card, while the lower cards derive their meanings from the numerology and the suit of each card.
The lower cards (cards 2-10) show two meanings each: one upright and one reversed. These words are based upon the numerological meaning of the card, enhanced by the energy of the suit. There are no negative meanings, instead the words are designed to work together to enhance your reading, and engage your intuition.
The Tarot of Creativity, while respecting the wisdom of the traditional Tarot, offers a modern empowering deck with rich, saturated, surreal imagery and contemporary, positive interpretations.
Ultimately, The Tarot of Creativity is about creativity itself—the creative process, and the creative mood of the artist, who is the composer, director, actor, and artist in the play of his or her own life.
