The stars and constellations have long been regarded as gods, sacred ancestors, and powerful entities. This beautiful fifty-six-card deck is comprised of playing cards that have been revived and remastered from original illustrations by John Lenthall, published in 1717. The focus of the Starlore Arcana is the mythology and folklore of sixty-three constellations, including the zodiac. Although many of the constellations have their genesis in lore and myth stretching as far back as Egyptian, Babylonian, and Phoenician origins, most the of the interpretations in the companion book derive from Greek myth. By including associations with the minor arcana, the author invites a playful exploration between the tarot, the fixed stars, the zodiac, and playing card cartomancy.
