The BBC is currently showing Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell on Sunday nights, from the novel by Susanna Clarke, it's the story of two magicians in England during the Napoleonic Wars. It's coming to America and international distribution later. The show is dark and contains magic, scrying, divination and lot's of the eclectic
Tonight's show had tarot cards featured and I captured them to work out what they were (it was a very quick glimpse as they got covered with blood). It's some form of line drawn version of TdeM I think. I decided to research into it and found the BBC were using cards in that deck for promotion of the show. I also found out they made a Tarot Deck of all the characters for the show with tarot archetypes that was sent to journalists and reviewers! Someone asked a BBC PR guy on twitter and the "promo" tarot deck is for promotion only and will not be available to buy I thought it was interesting their usage of tarot though.
