When I first read about this deck I assumed the 'Southern' meant Australia or New Zealand because this is about tarot.
It didn't bother me that their wasn't further clarification in that moment, as I loved the images I was seeing and felt a connection. I've never felt a connection to a collaborative deck before.
When I researched further and found it was created by Queer Southern US affiliated artists I was surprised to see a deck from this perspective. I don't know of any other self-published decks from this region and Queer identified to boot.
I was also pleased is that if there were animals or flora they'd be closer and more identifiable to my region of the US, the Northeast.
I do hope there is an Opossum somewhere in the mix. The Americas only marsupial.
