kevinbolk: The Saturday Morning Tarot is a little passion project I’ve been working on over the summer and I’m pleased as punch to finally share it with you guys. It’s inspired by my favorite cartoons and toys of the 1980’s/1990’s. Most of the deck borrows imagery from the Rider-Waite version of the Tarot, but I took some liberties here and there in the name of fun.The first card in the Saturday Morning Tarot is The Fool which represents beginnings, spontaneity, risk-taking, and sometimes recklessness. I wanted the first card in this series to be one of the more well-known 80’s shows and they don’t get much more popular than G.I. Joe. Cobra Commander was a major threat in the comics, but in the cartoons he was usually a bit of a buffoon and Destro and his subordinates often had to reign him in when he’d go off on crazy plans (like carving his face into the moon or starting a snake-themed rock band.) The dog from the original card is represented by Hanna-Barbera’s Muttley (Dastardly & Muttley, Wacky Races, etc) decked out in Viper garb. The deck is mostly 80’s and 90’s stuff but I wanted to give a little nod to the cartoons that came before. I’ve completed the 22 Major Arcana and will post them all in the coming weeks, but would love to do the whole deck if this gets enough traction. Regardless, I hope you guys like these. They were a lot of fun and something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. Enjoy! Pop-culture pagans, alert! This looks like an amazing project, and I would love to own a copy of this deck. -- source link
