TAROT OF NORTHERN SHADOWS by SYLVIA GAINSFORD

Copyright: A. G. Muller


 

THE MOON THE EMPEROR

 

THE MAGICIAN THE PAGE OF CUPS RODS

 

Tarot of Northern Shadows published by A. G. Muller, 1998 in sets of cards designed by the artist Sylvia Gainsford & accompanying book by Howard Rodway. Signed set £22.00. Following the success of "The Old Path"; the publishers contracted the artist & author to produce a second Tarot. The Northern Shadows embodies the Welsh Pembrokeshire landscape where the artist & her husband Leon Olin live. Historically this West Wales coast is a mixture of Celt & Norse, with a fine tradition of legends such as the medieval tales in "The Mabinogion".

The un-spoilt rugged landscape features ancient stone structures & castles, some of which are depicted in this Tarot. Sylvia has also included portraits of her friends in the Royal cards, & some traditional festivals & crafts. Tarot represents different aspects of life & people. The illustrated book gives details of the cards, & their reading, also the locations of the landscape featured. It is possible to use it as a theme for a holiday in Wales.

The original 78 paintings are in acrylic, each measuring 7.5 x 4.75 inches, un-mounted, with a reserve price of £7000.00.

Please contact the artist with questions regarding potential purchase.
