ACE OF WANDS

“This card represents the essence of the element of Fire in its inception. It is a solar-phallic outburst of flame from which springs lightning in every direction. These flames are Yods, arranged in the form of the Tree of Life. It is the primordial energy of the divine manifesting in matter, at so early a stage that it is not yet definitely formulated as Will. The Ace of Wands is the beginning or seed of Fire, so that not even Will has formed.” —Aleister Crowley

all the aces

an ace up my sleeve

I present the final two Credo Tarot aces. The first, swords and cups, came fairly spontaneously, but these two took a little more head scratching to get right.


ACE OF WANDS



ACE OF DISKS

Following on from the Major Arcana interpretations of key characters in Credo, I have started to design the the Minor Arcana too. The archetypal narrative within the Tarot will play a big part in how the series is made and portrayed, so if you fancy genning up on what is going on I suggest you look into The Thoth Tarot


ACE OF SWORDS



ACE OF CUPS

Since the 2nd draft of the series is complete I decided to start sketching the Credo tarot deck, These cards are initially designed to depict characters, but they will also cover plot points. So without further ado I present:


THE CREDO TAROT



THE HOODIE



THE PROSTITUTE



THE SOCIAL WORKER



THE BUSINESSMAN



THE REVEREND



THE SUCCUBUS



THE GANGSTER
