Transparencies - an interview with Emily Carding

Emily Carding is a self-taught artist and author, as well as a Priestess, lyricist, actor, singer and mother! Her inspiration comes from the vibrant mythology of all cultures and the reality of magick and the Otherworld. It is for this reason that she considers herself not a fantasy artist, but a visionary artist, for her art is sourced from the truth and beauty of the inner realms. Her art has appeared on book covers and magazines, and she has fully illustrated a book on Norse Mythology, which should hopefully appear later this year. "Both Sides of Heaven", an anthology soon to be released by Avalonia Books features an essay by Emily as well as artwork, including the cover. Emily is becoming most well known for her tarot work, having now created three Tarot decks, with an Oracle deck on its way! These include the groundbreaking Transparent Tarot and the forthcoming Tarot of the Sidhe, a channeled work, which is currently available as a majors only collector's edition. She is currently working on The Transparent Oracle for Schiffer Books. A circular transparent deck inspired by the seven directions and the intricate interconnectivity of the universe and otherworld, it is designed to form mandala-type images when read in layers! The Transparent Oracle and accompanying book will be released in the summer of 2010. An amazing artist, with amazing ideas. We want to know everything about this fantastic transparent tarot! A wonderful time with a fantastic author and artist! You don't want to miss this!
