‘The Arcanas of the Star’ Tarot card pack contains colour
artwork designs of the Major tarot concepts. The
figurative images are ultra modern and highly stylised and many carry an
interesting gender and conceptual ambiguity which allows deep expression of the
imagination and intuition. The cards have black backs with a yellow central
circle within a geometric design of a star. The pack also contains a 42 page explanatory booklet written in both French and English of traditional upright card concepts. The card sequence is non-standard, card 8 is Justice and card 11 is Strength. There is a suggested spread of ten cards and questions are provided to assist the reader. I used this ten card suggested spread for a simplified and personal interpretation.
Philippe Rouchier is an artistic director and designer for cinema and TV and is a published novelist. He specialises in producing elegant images. This is his third major arcana tarot deck, ‘Eye of Myrrdin’ and ‘The Tarot of the Storm’ being previous major arcana decks. Philippe Rouchier says of the tarot “For me, the answers to our questions are not somewhere else, but in ourselves. And the tarot is a tool to help us to understand ourselves.”
