Praise for Tarot Disassembled “This deck is incredibly unique and genius.”—Brandy Rachelle, cohost of Keepin’ It Symbol podcast “Tarot Disassembled is an exciting new way to work with the tarot. Jennifer Cooper Steidley created the deck by isolating the traditional RWS symbols and rearranging them in a bold and colorful pattern on each card. This has the effect of liberating the symbols from time and place, allowing the reader to freely construct new meanings and stories.”—TarotArts “This vivid, solar-hued reimagining of Rider-Waite-Smith swept me off my witchy feet at first sight! What’s brilliant about this deck—aside from the eye-catching colors—is its ability to break each card down into symbolic pieces devoid of people or human characters (except for an artist mannequin contained within a few cards only). This adds a sense of intuitive freedom that might sometimes be lost with the detailed human elements common in most tarot systems.” About the Author Jennifer Cooper Steidley is a graphic designer by day and a tarot deck collector, creator, and enthusiast at all other times.
