Chrysalis Tarot dives deeply into the waters of our collective unconscious, bringing up pearls of wisdom for our contemplation. Populated by an array of familiar characters from many mythologies, these guardians gently reveal synchronicity’s hand guiding your Tarot spreads, your life, and ultimately, your destiny. In the world of Chrysalis Tarot, The Empress and The Emperor are Gaia and The Green Man. Medieval and Celtic beings dance elegantly with characters from ancient Greek, Hindu, and Egyptian mythologies, and from Haitian Voudon. These archetypal beings come from all races and from many different times, brought together within the all-embracing diversity of Chrysalis Tarot. Chrysalis strikes a happy medium between conforming with the venerable RWS system, and re-visioning Tarot for today. Major Arcana cards are re-imagined, and the pips are unlike any you’ve seen before. The court cards are a charming troupe of medieval messengers. But Chrysalis is also similar enough to RWS style decks that it is easy to learn. Holly Sierra’s sumptuous art and Toney Brooks’ wit and wisdom make this deck really shine. *Intuitive, elegant interface is easy for beginners and experts *Gorgeous full screen, high-resolution card images *Full support for all current iOS devices *Sophisticated journal *Includes unabridged compact book *19 spreads built in *Design your own layout with Free Form *Allow reversed cards or not *Option to use Major Arcana only *Zoom in to enlarge card details *Share reading via Facebook, email and Twitter *Animated shuffle & cut *Optional voice prompts *Customize with your own card meanings & reading cloths *Many adjustable settings *Book and card meanings available in English only Chrysalis Tarot’s Gaian consciousness and universal spirituality will win your heart.
