The SHADOW DECK Tarot Card NFT
We have created a unique set of Tarot Cards called the Shadow Deck. This deck contains the normal 78 cards associated with a Tarot Deck.
This includes the Major Arcana cards and the Minor Arcana cards that are divided into four groups. The cards within this group of 78 have the same names and values as a traditional Tarot deck.
Here are some of the traditional looking cards
Here are the same card from the Shadow Deck
Shadow Cards
The Shadow Deck also includes what are called Shadow Cards that represent different archetypes and the shadow versions of each archetype. We believe this adds a layer of interest to the Shadow Deck... BUT what makes this deck so unique is the artwork displayed on each card.
Here is what we decided to work with when adding Shadow Cards. Please understand that there are many versions of Archetypes and Shadow Archetypes. We are not suggesting this group is better or worse than any other group it is what rang true to us while creating this deck
Shadow Explorer Cards
After creating the entire 78 card Tara Deck and Shadow Cards using the Archetypes shown above we realized that we have many... many more paintings that we want to use in this format. We created the Shadow Explorer Cards which represent different areas of interest that we have and thought that many others may share our interests and do some investigating on their own. Each card has two sides to a similar point of interest and each will feature a new mirrored image from Ena's growing collection of art.
Every card features the art from ENA a talented artist that specializes in the acrylic liquid pour style of art. Every card was created by mirroring one of her paintings (and several we mirrored the mirrored version of the painting which I will demonstrate below)
"The Hidden Portal"
"The Gatekeeper"
This is the very 1st painting we mirrored. On the left is the original. We thought we could see half of a face it so we tried to make a whole face (Above) Then the bright top caused us to mirror it again (right). No paint brush was used either... and ENA had no idea that a year after painting this it would get mirrored
"The Gateway"
What makes ENA's work so special is that most (not all, and you will be able to tell which is which) of her paintings have been created using the poured technique only... so no brush, no markers, colored pencils etc. were used. Her preparation before doing her artwork has created an environment for some amazing things to take place and then mirroring the paintings just emphasized on this even more.
Here a paint brush was used
Here no brush was used
This may seem insignificant until you take a closer look... which people will get a very close look within the 3D VR rooms where these cards belong.
Here is an enlarged look at "Walking in the Desert" ENA paints the woman over the poured art but got something extra. (Remember this painting and look at her face on the card. We use mountainous 3D imaging on the NFT and it exposed something awesome)
Here is an enlarged look at EPIC.
You may see nothing but I doubt it.
The three painting below are just poured paint, tilting the canvas and use of a blow torch. You may not believe what I am explaining but I can assure it is the truth. If you can believe me... take a closer look at the three paintings below and you will get an idea on why ENA just might be a gifted artist. When they are mirrored the images that you don't already see become the focal point... this is the Shadow Deck
"The Absence of God"
Here no brush was used
"The Faces of Hades"
Here no brush was used
I have seen this under a magnifying glass. It terrifies me. I can't imagine it in VR and as large as I am...
"The Southern Guard"
Here no brush was used
