Episode Japan: The Spirit Moth | (Ga)In Japanese lore, the moth isn’t just a pesky insect—it's a soul carrier. Folks believe that departed souls transform into moths to find their way to the great beyond.
This deck pays tribute to the dual nature of these otherworldly creatures, drawing inspiration from the legendary Mothra—the cinema's gentle giant who champions both culture and nature. As Mothra lives, dies, and is reborn through her offspring, she embodies the eternal cycle of the spirit (and makes for a decent popcorn flick, too).
Episode USA: The MetamorphosisIn the States, the butterfly is a potent symbol of Transformation. Borrowing from Native American traditions and contemporary metaphors, this deck showcases the butterfly as a beacon of hope, comfort, and the "Great Circle of Life."
But let's not kid ourselves—metamorphosis has a darker side in urban folklore. It’s a sobering reminder that to embrace the new, the old must kick the bucket. Whether seen as a serene transition or a spine-chilling inevitability, the butterfly represents the one constant we all face: Change.
