Stockholm17 presents unique addition to the Odd Fellow family: Madame Laveau The Soothsayer. This deck, inspired by the renowned New Orleans Voo-Doo Queen Marie Laveau, integrates her mystical practices into its design. Featuring voodoo, divination, chiromancy, and more, it's a blend of the arcane and the mystical.
Structurally, the deck mirrors a standard poker set, but with a twist: the court cards represent 12 of the 22 major arcana from the tarot, each linked to a zodiac sign and corresponding month, blending the worlds of astrology and tarot. The deck’s suits are each themed with a unique set of mystical or mysterious symbols.
Hearts are adorned with astronomical symbols, representing celestial bodies. Diamonds feature celestial symbols, depicting spirits and angels. Clubs showcase the African Nsibibi pictograms and pades are decorated with alchemical symbols, adding an esoteric touch to the deck.
There are two small errors to note. The Queen of Hearts mistakenly displays the major arcana number XVII, rather than the correct XVIII. And on the card with the table, Clubs have the African Nsbibi pictograms, not Spades. Therefore Spades have Alchemical symbols. You can read the correct info over on the Stockholm17 site.
