I think it was Rusty Neon last year who asked about the existence of any Slavic tarot decks, that featured scenes (or characters, I guess) from Slavic folktales. I'd like to renew his question. Has anyone come across any tarot decks that are either of eastern Slavic origin or eastern Slavic inspiration, that focus on characters, or scenes from the folklores of Belarus, Ukraine, or Russia (not including the St. Petersburg or Egorov, which I know about, like, and have)?
I say "eastern Slavic" as opposed to "western Slavic", like Polish or Czech.
It would strike me as odd if there wasn't a deck out there somewhere that tapped into Slavic paganism; its spirits, goddesses, gods, and heroes, and the myths and legends that surround them. Such a deck might also highlight various holidays and customs that have evolved from that mythology. It would be great to get a deck titled in Cyrillic as well as Roman alphabets!
So, have you heard of one? Seen one? Have one?
