Rare and complete box. ISBN 9780572028107. Ten years in the making, The Atavist Tarot is an artistic and magical tour de force ? an original and truly remarkable interpretation of the Tarot for the 21st century created by two extraordinary women. Indicating a return to primitive or ancestral forms, ?atavist? perfectly describes the authors? intellectual and spiritual quest for fundamental principles. Having stripped away the irrelevancies accumulated over time, this fresh and vibrant new Tarot has emerged to enlighten and inspire a new generation of seekers after truth. Dynamic and colourful original paintings, etchings, photographs and sculptures have been skilfully re-mastered with the latest computer technology to create a stunning and contemporary deck suitable for beginners or seasoned practitioners seeking a challenging and thoroughly modern Tarot. Penetrating to the very heart of the Tarot tradition, this vibrant and expressive deck is ideal for meditation, spiritual inspiration and traditional Tarot readings. The Atavist Tarot presents a fresh reinterpretation of the Tarot tradition combining a richly illustrated book with a matching deck of 78 cards. Conceived over ten years, the project offers original artworks ? paintings, etchings, photographs and sculptures ? by Sally Annett, digitally enhanced and paired with textual commentary co-written with Rowena Shepherd. The book explains how to use the deck, explores the Major and Minor Arcana, the court cards and numbers, outlines the history of Tarot, and places the imagery in a contemporary context. The term ?atavist? signals a return to ancestral or elemental symbolism, echoing the authors? intention to strip away accumulated layers of interpretation to reach core meaning. The deck is designed to work both for beginners seeking intuitive inspiration and for seasoned Tarot practitioners looking for thematic depth. Its visual style, tense between ancient archetype and modern expression, invites meditation, divination and spiritual reflection while offering substantial interpretive commentary and historical grounding.
