Cerulean
Modern Ananda Tarot with book seems to be 'meditative flow'
to me.
Something about the palette of the colors and the transparency of the images superimposed upon one another. Each card allows for subtle shading of one predominant color with a lighter blend into a softer image. Somehow the coloring of each card seems harmonious with the delicate and subtle repetition of some motifs.
To me, the visuals alone did not excite the mind, they provided some restfulness. When I was able to read the book, I was quite impressed because I felt the book was written as an integration of thought and spiritual evolvement with the designs.
I did read a review that noted the writing felt 'mushy' to the reviewer. So there are others who would not agree.
Here's scans, some thoughts in the attached review:

Best regards--by the way, it's 'best' for me maybe attributed to my enjoyment of soft filmic images, quiet moods in photography. The minors do have figures sometimes, but I could see people suggesting most of the minors are 'scenic' or 'skyscapes' (as opposed to landscapes).
Best regards,
