The Dizygotic Tarot Deck - Paperback

by Paul Morris (Author)

The Dizygotic Tarot Deck is an 83-card set created with original art by Pollux. This guide provides interpretations of the cards and includes color illustrations and note pages. **This is just the guide. DOES NOT INCLUDE DECK. ** Dizygotic twins, more commonly known as fraternal twins, are connected to both temporal and spiritual forces. Myths of twin-brothers who are divine or semi-divine horsemen and heroes can be found across many cultures. Besides the standard 78 cards associated with a tarot deck, you'll find extra 5 cards in your tarot deck that depict five sets of divine twins. I've created images of divine twins from various cultures that serve as symbols for the suits of this tarot deck: the Greek and Roman Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux (Major Arcana); the Slavic and Baltic fertility twin-deities Lado and Lada (Pentacles); the Asvieniai, Lithuanian horse-twins, who pull the Chariot of the Sun across the sky (Swords); the Hindu deity pair Nara-Narayana, the incarnation of Vishnu (Cups); and the Welsh heroes Lleu Llaw Gyffes and Dylan ail Don (Wands). I hope the dual spirit of The Dizygotic Tarot Deck provides guidance, inspiration, and safe passage through turbulent seas, endless deserts, and cloud-piercing mountains for you.
