Tarot: Major Arcana
Swap due date: August 27, 2022
Sign-up date: none
Withdraw date: none, but please let me know.
3 for 3 cards
12 participants, as this is my first swap.
Open media, including digital.
Tarot cards are used in some countries as playing cards, but also used for fortune telling. I have always loved Tarot and often create cards inspired by it, but then I don't know if I should do that in swaps, as not everyone is comfortable with it. So, I thought I'd do a swap based on it. You don't need to know anything about Tarot or traditional symbolism. Literally, I'm just interested in where your muse takes you.
If you're inspired by traditional Tarot or want to create cards based on a favorite deck, that's fine. If you want to use actual Tarot cards as part of collage or mixed-media, that's great. If you want to completely re-imagine it, that's cool, too.
Here's some basic info on Tarot: Tarot - Wikipedia
For this swap, we'll focus on the cards known as the Major Arcana--another link:
