Delta Enduring Tarot

This deck looks great - the cards have been well-thought-out. The Devil was a new take, and one that made a lot of sense. Look forward to this deck's completion! Thanks for sharing the link with us, Athenarebels. :)

Yes! The Devil was very apt. I'm also pretty sure The Levee is The Tower, which is another really interesting representation. :)

I am amazed by this deck, I like both the art and the interpretation of classical RWS meanings. I am curious to see moore of the wand suit (oaks ?). I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the completed deck.

Yeah the wands are oaks. I also noticed there aren't any court cards yet, so it'll be interesting to see where they go with that.

I LOVE the cat on Marie Laveau's tomb as the High Priestess.

Very intrigued by this deck! I grew up listening to Delta blues and so have always had a fascination with this culturally rich region of Mississippi. One of my writing projects even centers on a Delta blues musician. I will be keeping an eye on this deck! Thanks for sharing, athenarebels.

Bumping this thread with the link for the Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/762567073/the-delta-enduring-tarot

Deck is 40 dollars, and is estimated to ship in September. The kickstarter says it has 82 cards, I wonder what all those extras are?

Cool! Thank you! I can't wait to get this deck!

Also, four extras...maybe four court cards? I don't know much about Voodoo, although I recognize some references to it in some of the cards. Is there some significance in the number four with that?

Thanks for the Kickstarter link! It's a very clever take on the RWS.

Thanks for posting this. I love it. I love that the art is PCS-esque but very different images. For now I put the reminder on for Kickstarter but I have a feeling I'm going to get it. I don't actually know a lot about the Delta and the farthest south I've been is Maryland (well actually it's Tucson but southwest doesn't count) but I just love the deck.
