For The Love Of Tarot (Canceled)

The 'For The Love Of Tarot' project by Nayru (Cheriece) was conceived as an oracle deck designed to integrate into a tarot gift shop. Although the campaign was canceled, the concept aimed to create a divination tool that draws inspiration from the structure of both the Major and Minor Arcana, suggesting a system that would be familiar to tarot readers while offering an oracle-style interpretation.

The deck's intended purpose was to provide a unique offering for those interested in tarot and divination, potentially serving as an accessible entry point for new practitioners or an additional layer of insight for experienced readers. The campaign's brief description hints at a desire to blend traditional tarot elements with a more intuitive oracle format, allowing for a flexible reading experience that could either stand alone or be used in conjunction with a full tarot deck.

Details regarding the specific number of cards, card stock, or packaging were not explicitly outlined in the campaign story, beyond the mention of an 'oracle card' that could be custom-made as a reward. The project's early cancellation means many of these specifics remain conceptual, but the core idea was to create a deck rooted in the established arcana framework, presented through the creator's unique artistic vision.

The primary campaign image features a digitally processed portrait of a woman, possibly the creator, adorned with a vibrant floral crown and holding a bouquet. The art style applies a filter or effect that gives the image a mosaic-like, painterly texture with distinct, almost shattered-glass-like facets. The color palette is rich and warm, dominated by pinks, reds, and greens from the flowers, set against a soft, textured background. The overall aesthetic is colorful and somewhat dreamy, suggesting a personal and expressive artistic approach rather than a traditional or highly polished commercial style. The image serves as a visual representation of the creator's personal connection to the project and its floral, feminine themes.

This deck would have appealed to individuals interested in oracle decks that draw inspiration from tarot's Major and Minor Arcana structure. It would have been suitable for readers seeking a more intuitive or personalized divination experience, particularly those who appreciate a colorful, expressive, and possibly self-referential art style. Given the creator's personal story, it might also resonate with those who connect with projects born from personal journeys and a desire for creative expression.

Nayru, known as Cheriece, describes herself as a 'weird, animated, goofy human being' who has maintained her personality despite a challenging life. This project was a deeply personal endeavor, aimed at helping her 'recover [her] life' and make her dreams come true. Her journey into creating this oracle deck was a way to find her path in the world, infusing her resilience and unique spirit into the divination tool.
