From the Author:
IN THE IMAGERY OF THE WAYWARD DARK TAROT ARE THE ARCHETYPES AND SYMBOLISM OF ALEISTER CROWLEY’S THOTH TAROT DECK, MIRRORED AND MODIFIED INTO A CHTHONIC AFTERLIFE EVOKING THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE MACABRE.
FAMILIARITY WITH THE THOTH TAROT WILL GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL INSIGHT (AND LIKELY, ADDITIONAL CRITIQUES) OF THE WAYWARD DARK TAROT. YET IT SHOULD READ ON ITS OWN STRENGTHS AS WELL. AS IT MAY BE CONSIDERED A FUNHOUSE MIRROR OF THE THOTH DECK, IT IS THE SAME FOR YOUR OWN INNER THOUGHTS AND IMAGINATION. LOOK TO THE CARDS AND YOU MIGHT DISCOVER A PATH TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS PAVED THROUGH THE ARCHETYPES OF THE TAROT.
THE DECK THEME IS MEANT TO EVOKE A FAMILIAR UNDERWORLD THAT NEVER WAS. MAGIC AND DEATH AND BEAUTY, A TIMELESS PLACE OF SPECTRAL DARKNESS AND HAUNTING AFTERLIFE. WITHIN IT, IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES AND MYSTERIOUS HUMANOIDS. AN UNRULY, EXPLORATORY PLACE WHOSE SHADOWED INHABITANTS POSSESS A SINISTER BEAUTY.
