Description
Tarot has been a part of my life for a long time – I grew up with my mom reading my cards for me, and I still pull out my deck when I have to make a hard decision or need direction. Making a functional and beautiful deck of my own is a dream project!
-Evangeline Gallagher
The Crimson Eye Tarot is a deliciously haunting Rider Waite-style deck created by illustrator Evangeline Gallagher. Everywhere you turn, the eye is upon you. From the chest of The Magician’s flowing tunic and in their confident, upturned gaze. From The Sun, in disconcerting triplicate weeping blood-red tears, and in the pointed stare of Death’s pale horse. The eye follows you farther as well. It’s woven into the pattern on every card back and in the Minor Arcana, its unblinking scrutiny appears on the chalices in the suit of cups, and upon the Queen of Pentacles’ crown, and on, and on.
Roses and flames, serpents and scepters. Evangeline’s signature Cubist-inspired figure perspective. Whether you prefer your tarot readings with an ominous overtone or need a richly symbolic deck to play a TTRPG, The Crimson Eye gives you plenty to ponder.
- Includes 78 black, white, and red cards – 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana – in a sturdy two-piece box
