About This Deck
The "Walk Through the Eternal Gardens" deck is a unique hybrid, offering both a 44-card oracle system and a complete 36-card Lenormand deck within a single package. Designed by Marcail Madorum, a graphic designer and creator of the "Guide to the Strange and Eternal" tarot, this deck blends her artistic vision with a dual-purpose divination tool. The campaign successfully raised $9,694 from 187 backers, indicating strong community interest in its distinctive concept.
The deck's aesthetic centers on "uncomfortable beauty," combining lush botanical illustrations with intricate jewels and various creatures, often depicted in different stages of life or decay. This thematic approach suggests an exploration of cycles, transformation, and the inherent beauty found in both growth and decline. The dual nature of the deck means it can be used for intuitive oracle readings or for the more structured, predictive readings characteristic of Lenormand, providing versatility for different reading styles and preferences.
While specific card materials are not detailed in the campaign, the offering of a digital guide and exclusive digital content suggests a comprehensive support system for users. The creator's background in graphic design and previous self-published tarot work points to a professionally crafted product. The deck aims to bring a "dash of magic" to everyday routines, appealing to those who appreciate artful and curiously crafted divination tools.
