TESTIMONIALS:
“An extraordinarily original vision that carries tarot into a wholly new direction. A feast of colour and some of the most exciting images since Pamela Colman Smith.”
- John Matthews
Creator of The Byzantine Tarot and many more
“A powerful, eclectic and enlightening divination tool, drawing from rich and profound ancient cultural sources and steeped in the traditions of healing, musical vibrational frequencies and positive, universal creative forces. Dwina Murphy-Gibb effortlessly strode across this cultural and philosophical divide with grace, clarity, wisdom and blazing artistic flair!”
- Mark Ryan
Co-author of The Wildwood Tarot and The Sherwood Oracle
“Dwina Murphy Gibb’s tarot is sumptuous and delights as 80 individual pieces of art too. Every card will feed your senses and the multitude of images in each one means that however familiar you become with them, there will always be elements to add interest to every reading. The colours are rich, and the figures really do have an otherworldliness about them.They are all gracious and alert, seeing, listening, and responding to the questions asked of them and what gives them such authority is the rich world of mythology they represent. These cards have managed to capture oral traditions so our subconscious minds can use them as active tools in our lives. There is a depth and breadth of knowledge and profound understanding that has come from a lifetime enjoyed.”
