What is the core concept of the Ink Stained Tarot?
The Ink Stained Tarot is inspired by synesthesia, aiming to translate the traditional meanings and energies of tarot cards into a visual language primarily expressed through color. This approach encourages an intuitive, color-based interpretation of the cards rather than relying on conventional imagery.
Who created the Ink Stained Tarot?
The Ink Stained Tarot was created by artist Sabine Gillespie. The deck represents her vision for a synesthesia-inspired approach to tarot, focusing on how colors can convey the feelings and meanings of each card.
Is the Ink Stained Tarot a traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck?
