Trust the wisdom, and that you yourself are the only judge: If it isn’t good, set it down. Other things will come, or nothing will come, and either is ok. In this moment, you are ok. Set it down.

Here is my handmade reproduction of an antique Minchiate tarot, dating to the late 1700s. This deck is distinctive for having 97 cards rather than 78, because it includes the 12 zodiac signs (see Cancer the Crab in the third pic), as well as the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) and the three graces. The antique linework is amazing and the colors are still super vibrant - I got these images from digitized records housed at the British Museum, then handmake and hand-antique every deck. In this pic you can see the antique Italian griffon pattern I created for the card backs.
