The Quarterly Deck

This page of the website is devoted to the process of developing new Cards for the Minor Arcana of the Pirate Tarot of the Mystic Bootye. They are all in various stages of completion.
It consists of works-in-progress, including conceptualizing, capturing and saving potential visual imagery or new visual quotations, along with relevant symbols and interpretations regarding how they contribute to the meaning of each Card.
