This is the "monochrome" version of The Mythical Creatures Tarot which was published in 2016 and has been out of print for many years. The deck had been in process since - wait for it! - August 2005 -  so we wanted it to be an exceptional piece.

These decks are from our personal collection and so numbers are limited. Please note that having an item in your cart does not reserve it, as other people may be trying to purchase at the same time.

The images were painstakingly drawn in pen and ink by the brilliantly talented Russian artist, Lena Kozachuk, with a great deal of input and image editing by Alex Ukolov. It was a real partnership, with both enhancing the skills of the other. Karen Mahony designed the concept and structure of the deck.

It is based on a variety of magical and fascinating creatures from world mythology, ranging from the familiar, such as the unicorn and the giant, to the less known, like the Irish Amadán and the strange, conjoined alchemical rebus.

  • This is a signed and numbered Limited Edition. The print run was 500 decks. 
  • Large size - approx. 5.4 by 3.4 inches (13.7 by 8. 6 cm).
  • Majors and courts each have an illustration of a mythical creature. Minors ("pips") have highly decorative illustrations and show the suit symbols.
  • Printed by the small artisan printers in Prague who did the original Tarot of Prague for us back in 2003. They take great pride in their work and are known for doing small projects that need a lot of hand work.
  • Printed on heavy 350 gram art card (this is not carbon-core playing card stock, it's a more old-fashioned art card).
  • With a bronze ink overprint on the back (an old-fashioned ink that's more fitting for this deck than the cold-stamping that we have used recently on decks).
  • Varnished with matte varnish so that the varnish is not obvious.
  • Corners cut by a hand-process that results in slight unevenness - it's how antique cards were cut.
  • A detailed booklet is included which is comprehensive enough to allow you to knowledgeably use the deck.
  • Supplied in a sturdy wooden box specially designed for the deck and made in Czech Republic.
  • Supplied with a beautiful hand-made pouch in gilded linen (a gorgeous fabric made in Czech Republic).
