Tomorrow is a Bandcamp Friday meaning Bandcamp is giving their typical cut of shares directly to artists.
So, tomorrow is a great day to place your pre-order for Tarot for Tender Actions. You can order the physical deck (limited edition of 250) which comes with a digital download of the album, or just the digital album. Shipping out no later than March 1, 2021.
Tarot for Tender Actions began as a deck of ten embroidered tarot cards. Now as a physical deck with a soundtrack, Tarot for Tender Actions invites interaction through divination. In tarot practice, someone seeking answers pulls cards. The cards pulled are used to answer the seeker’s questions and to foretell the future. The direction of the card determines the interpretation of the meaning.
Tarot for Tender Actions is designed to propose possibilities. In the midst of isolation, violence, vitriol, and polarization, this deck offers cards that put forward tender, yet potent means for considering futures. Rather than providing answers or dictating destinies, each card is a call to action. This call is not violent or determinate, but like the embroidered cards themselves, soft and care-full. A set of questions and potential conditions is provided in text accompanying the named cards. Each card has an individual interpretation, dependent on direction.
Recommended spreads are included in the PDF booklet.
A note for seekers:
Take time with each card. Note your reaction to and interpretation of the image first, before reading the accompanying text. After reading, consider what tender actions you must take in your own life to realize what the cards call for. The future is not something that happens to you.
