All you need is an uninhibited imagination., A round, black-and-white Tarot deck that challenges convention--unapologetically feminine, fiercely imaginative, and unlike anything else on your shelf. The Gorgon's Tarot by Dolores Fitchie is a 79-card circular deck designed as a visual tool for reflection, not prediction. Created over the course of a decade, it offers a stark, symbolic alternative to conventional Tarot, blending traditional archetypes with dry wit, feminist spirit, and animal companions that act as familiars, witnesses, and occasional bodyguards. The deck features bold black-and-white illustrations with two restrained splashes of color. At its center is The Blind Gorgon--an unnumbered card that can function as a wildcard, significator, or atmosphere-setter. Some cards align with tradition; others stray. The round shape introduces a new kind of reading: orientation and tilt suggest motion, hesitation, or inversion--adding dimension where standard decks offer polarity. * 79 round cards, including The Blind Gorgon wildcard * 5 5/8" circular cards with black-and-white artwork and minimal color * Companion guidebook with narrative interpretations and reversed meanings * Suitable for intuitive, reflective, or story-based readings * Ideal for readers drawn to symbol, contrast, and visual thinking This is Tarot stripped of illusion.
