Beast oh Beast so burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

"And a Shape that moveth murkily
In mirrors of shadow and night,
Hath blanched with fear all beasts and birds,
As death and a shock of evil words
Blast a man's hair with white."

Finally got my copy of @sefirotgame.bsky.social in the mail!! It’s so beautiful—I’m so excited to read the art book & learn more about tarot through this deck! I’m glad it has two solo modes as well, since it’ll be a while before I find someone to play with me 🥰

A photo of many different Sefirot-related items. Spread open is an art book detailing how the Knight of Pentacles card was developed. It rests on a tarot altar cloth with an ouroboros pictured on it. On top of the cloth are two packs of cards—one the size of a normal set of playing cards, and the other traditional tarot size. The tarot card box is open, revealing the phrase “Don’t resist the call of the void” on the inside of the box lid. On the other side of the cloth is the folded game board, covered with six illustrations fanning out. The top illustration is a print version of the Magician.

A handful of preview packages that we created for influencers remain and are looking for a new home now. Printed and assembled in Odesa, they give a beautiful and rare preview of the product (albeit not with the actual cardstock and only selected 36 cards).

Here are a few glimpses from Mariya’s process while she works on the Ukrainian Night Tarot. She draws her inspirations from old photos of Ukrainians wearing traditional clothing from various regions.

On the darkest night of the summer, Kupala, when the forest goes silent and the veil between worlds is thinning, the Fern Blossom is blooming, burning with an eerie and unearthly light, luring the bravest to it with promises of wealth and forbidden knowledge.
