78 Nautical Tarot

The team that brought you 78 Tarot is back with a new deck--The Nautical Tarot!

A water-themed deck like this is replete with symbolism:

Anchors (Weighed Down - Stationary - Stabilized)

Pirates (Theft - Independence - Taking What You Want - Finding Treasure)

Fish (Fluidity - Subconscious - Intuitive Movement)

Waves (Flux - Ebb and Flow - Washed Up - Renewal)

Shells (Portable Home - Protection - Adornment - Collective Unconscious - Manifestation)

Pearls (Value - Wisdom - Beauty Out of Adversity)

Mermaids (Between Worlds - Grounded Dreams - Seduction)

Ships (Travel - Transportation - Merchants)

Tridents (Authority - Sharpness - Hard Rulership - Intimidation)

Of course, each varying sea creature has its own symbolism. After all, sharks convey something far different than starfish, jellyfish, seahorses, flounder, sea turtles or whales!

What aquatic symbols come to your mind? What do they mean to you?

Like its sister deck, the 78 Nautical Tarot is a collaboration of 80 artists. It's fully complete--and absolutely gorgeous. 

To see some of the vibrant card artwork, discover pledge goodies and back the 78 Tarot Nautical project on Kickstarter, click here. (I did...and snagged the last Sunken Treasure - Super Early Bird Special).
