THE MAKING OF TAROT CELESTIO
Tarot Celestio marks the latest stage of a creative partnership lasting more than ten years. It has been a wild journey for us both as we immersed ourselves in an ever expanding world, plunged into a night full of stars and its many cloaked characters. We have spent the last years delving deeper into Celestio, world-building, illustrating, writing, designing and realising our vision, one of spirituality, philosophy and artistic expression.
Rachel had long wanted to illustrate her own tarot deck and late last year finally sat down and began work. As she embarked on the project, inspired by what came before, new ideas emerged, plans flickered and thoughts of building something beyond the traditional deck began to take shape. Thomas took up a pen and a novella was written, tales of Celestio to accompany the drawings, enriching the existing symbolism behind a beloved, ancient practice.
We have poured so much of what we love and hold dear into Celestio. In reality we are two melancholic souls, dreamers you could say, and the world we have built together is a new one full of possibility, a darkness illuminated for exploration, imagination, solace and reflection. We cannot wait to share it with you.
