Stylized characters and moonlit

dreamscapes draw you into the luminescent

world of Deviant Moon Tarot. With larger

cards, this special Borderless Edition

highlights Patrick Valenza's stunning artwork

and allows readers to connect more deeply

with the evocative tarot imagery. Includes

48-page booklet.

Talented artist Patrick Valenza presents uniquely alternative interpretations of traditional tarot with symbolism inspired by childhood dreams. Stylized moon-faced characters created from manipulated photographs of 18th century tombstones are set against evocative backgrounds. Incorporated into the artwork are surreal scenes of distant smoke stacks, insane asylums and abandoned buildings. Valenza's booklet gives interesting card descriptions and interpretations, both upright and reversed. The symmetric card backs, showing different phases of the moon, allow for reversed readings. Also included in the booklet is a unique ten-card spread called the Lunatic Spread, which mimics the shape of the full moon, and derives energy from its circular pattern. Deviant Moon Tarot has drawn something of a cult following

"Deviant Moon Tarot" explores the dark side of the subconscious with haunting surreal imagery. Abandoned insane asylums provide the evocative backdrop for the traditional characters of tarot, created from photographs of 18th-century tombstones.
