Mage: The Ascension TAROT Cards Full Deck Rare OOP. White Wolf. Minimal wear and tear on corners of box. Book and cards never used, in original condition. Smoke-free home.
The Mage: The Ascension Tarot is a postmodern deck created for use in a White Wolf roleplaying game of the same name. The deck is strongly influenced by the Waite-Smith pattern and many of the images are gothic reinterpretations of Pamela Colman Smith's familiar scenes; Each of the suits wa...s created by a different artist. Stephanie Pui-Mun Law & Michael Kaluta & Yasmine & Vince Locke & Saana Lappalainen. The Minor Arcana suits are renamed along the lines of the White Wolf game... Wands are rendered as the Suit of Questing, Cups become Primordialism, Swords become Dynamism, and Pentacles are Pattern. The deck is now out of print.One of the more off-beat gaming accessories out there, the Mage Tarot is just that: a Tarot deck using imagery and interpretations derived from the roleplaying game. The pack includes a booklet explaining the Tarot, sample spreads to try, meanings and possible interpretations of the cards -- as seen through the lenses of Mage and the wider World of Darkness -- suggestions for using the cards to generate characters and plot seeds, as well as the word of caution that this deck isn't meant to be used as a genuine Tarot deck, since it's been adjusted to better fit the source material. The suit of cups, for example, became the Nephandi-associated Primordialism suite, but isn't traditionally associated with typical notions of evil.
