PEARLESCENT BLUE TUCK, GILDED DECK IN METALLIC TEA GREEN
Stockholm17 has done it again with a rather splendid addition to the Odd Fellow family: Madame Laveau The Soothsayer. Inspired by the legendary New Orleans Voodoo Queen herself, this deck is a delightful cocktail of her mystical ways, featuring everything from voodoo to chiromancy (that’s palm reading for the uninitiated) — it’s like a mystery novel in card form!
Now, don’t fret — the deck is still poker-sized and familiar enough to play your usual games, but here’s the kicker: the court cards represent 12 of the 22 major arcana from the tarot, each linked to a zodiac sign and month. So, yes, astrology and tarot are now best mates (who knew?).
The suits each sport their own themed collection of mystifying symbols:
Hearts are decked out with astronomical symbols — think celestial bodies strutting their stuff.
Diamonds are all about the celestial spirits and angels (because diamonds are a spirit’s best friend).
Clubs showcase the African Nsibibi pictograms — a nod to the rich tapestry of culture.
Spades are adorned with alchemical symbols, adding a sprinkle of the esoteric to the mix.
