Dining With the Major Arcana 2011 The Cook's Tarot

Dining With the Major Arcana by Judith Mackay Stirt & Nancy Boyes Major Arcana deck of 22 cards This deck is a precursor to the full-sized Cook's Tarot which has 78 cards. Super RARE deck from 2011. Outer packaging has been opened but the deck itself is still sealed in plastic and has never been used. Dining with the Major Arcana is a set of 22 double-sided, large cards that beautifully combine tarot with food. Each card sets the scene for dinner with the major arcana's character and provides a symbolically linked recipe as well. This lovely deck is a wonderful blend of cooking and tarot, designed to bring awareness into the preparation and serving of food and enrich one’s daily life. It’s the first deck from Canadian sisters, Judith Stirt and Nancy Boyes. There are 22 double-sided over-sized cards - big enough to use in the kitchen - with an original tarot painting on the front, along with a description of the image and an interpretation that beautifully links the traditional tarot meaning with the language of cooking. For example, with the Fool: “In the Cook’s Tarot, our Fool is seen as a young woman, dressed in a completely impractical outfit, dancing in the kitchen. She is joyful, enthusiastic, and happily oblivious to the possibility of failure. Our Fool is not concerned with formal recipes, accurate measurement, or any advanced preparations. She is not afraid, perhaps because she has the confidence of youth. And she has not yet learned consequences."
