• Pond Life Tarot Deck & Booklet

  • 
  Pond Life Tarot deck and booklet made by me (Zach) in 2019 and 2020, originally collaged and homemade on single tone Home Hardware paint sample cards.
  
  This can be purchased on its own without having to listen to or associate with any of the music (but it does come with a digital download of the album Pond Life if you want that).
  
  Now reduced to low, low price of $15 because I want to get rid of these things.
  
  
  
  FROM THE INTRODUCTION BLURB:
  
  It is in the spirit of the “amateur” that this whole project was approached - not with expertise, devotion, or even very much familiarity with tarot's tradition and images, but instead with a persistence of learning and creative energy, however naive or distorted.
  
  The only truly necessary element to this kind of tarot reading is intention: you need to bring the energy and focus to make the connections between yourself and the language of the cards, and if it's useful then it's useful.
  
  Collage inherently is a de-sanctifying medium – it destroys the wholeness and context of its source images, fusing new meanings together with a kind of irreverent, fuck-the-sacred vibe. Meanwhile, Tarot decks (especially more traditional ones like the Ryder-Waite decks) rely so much on the power of the unbroken, cohesive language of their images – the rigid archetypes, the symbology, the official numbering and order of the cards, etc.
  
  So collage is kind of the perfect anti-medium to tarot. It allows for easy picking apart, experimenting with, and making fun of all of the mystical absoluteness within traditional tarot. That said, tarot has always been playful and inconsistent with card titles through its history, adapting to become what it needs to be depending on who is using it. Many card titles have been changed here to mess with unnecessarily rigid hierarchical and gender structures, resulting in maybe a confusing mess of card names. This deck is very imperfect but I’m happy with it.
