‘Drolleries’, Marginalia, & Changelings – Decks (& People) Between Systems

This week’s video is, in part, an update on my tarot & art practice, projects, & preferences… as well as a discussion of archetypes, imagination, and social expectations. I find endless interest in how this comes to bear on decks that defy or exist tangential to traditional tarot systems.

I also briefly showed my current Oracle deck project, titled “Dreams of Pantagruel”. I will dedicate a video to introducing it properly soon but I must also say a special THANK YOU to Lennan Smith, who made me aware of these images in the first place! I’m still blissfully going down the rabbit hole on this one.

Experiments are on-going in terms of seeing how the deck feels to use. I’m currently focusing on exploring how it reads in conjunction with other decks. You can see a sneak peek of that in the video – I show it next to the Carnival at the End of the World Tarot – but here are some photos of other combinations explored this week:

Dreams of Pantagruel with The Deviant Moon (Paradoxical) by Patrick Valenza
Dreams of Pantagruel with a modded Crystal Tarot – incidentally, also an ‘in-between’ deck system…

You can also see it in the featured image for this post along with some very interesting input from the Golden Tarot by Kat Black.

Decks Shown in the video –

Trionfi della Luna Tarot – Pagan Otherworlds Tarot – Medieval Scapini Tarot (modded) – Crystal Tarot (modded) – Hush Tarot Magicae Daemonibus Tarot – Tarot of Mystical Moments – Lonely Dreamer Tarot – Carnival at the End of the World Tarot … deck mentioned but not shown: The Dreaming Way Tarot

Yours in Sincere Drollery,
