Description
Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing
The High Deck brings to life and explains a whole new deck of cards, with new games and a new take on symbolism and psychology. Included here are a beautifully conceived and illustrated card deck, explanatory manuscript containing wonderful games to play with the deck, an explanation of the fully formed symbolism of the deck with its far-reaching implications for users' lives, creating an archetypal mirror for personal use. The thirty-eight cards of the deck feature thirty-two characters divided into red and black houses and eight individual persons, including the Knight, Priest, Father, Lover, Vassal, Sinner, Child, and Maid. Together these cards form the mirror, with which users may peer deeply into themselves by creating "The Motley Player," a symbolic being in one's own image.
Includes cards and book.
