The stars and constellations have long been regarded as gods, sacred ancestors and powerful entities. Created for both tarot readers and astrologers, this beautiful fifty-six Minor Arcana deck is comprised of playing cards that have been remastered from original illustrations of the constellations by John Lenthall, published in 1717. The Starlore Arcana presents the mythology and folklore of sixty-three constellations, including the zodiac.
Although many of the constellations have their genesis in lore and myth stretching as far back as Egyptian, Babylonian and Phoenician origins, most of the interpretations in the book derived from Greek myth. The one-hundred and eighty-two page books contains descriptions of each card including the location of the constellation, the myth associated with the constellation, cartomancy interpretations, tarot interpretations, and how to use these cards in divination.
May the magic of this deck provide stellar insight and transformation and bring connection with the guidance of the spirit, the ancients and the seen and unseen worlds!
