Details:
The deck has been in process since - wait for it! - August 2005 - so we want it to be an exceptional piece.

The images are painstakingly drawn in pen and ink by the brilliantly talented Russian artist, Lena Kozachuk, with a great deal of input and image editing by Alex Ukolov. It has been a real partnership, with both enhancing the skills of the other. Karen Mahony designed the concept and structure of the deck.

It is based on a variety of magical and fascinating creatures from world mythology, ranging from the familiar, such as the unicorn and the giant, to the less known, like the Irish Amandán and the strange, conjoined alchemical rebus.

This is an open edition, although it is definitely not mass-market and there will never be a large quantity of these decks printed.

- Short run as this is not a mass-market deck.

- 78 fully-illustrated cards, 128 * 78 mm (about 5 * 3 inches) plus a title card (79 cards in all).

- "Metallic ink overlay" - in fact, this is actually put under the varnish, so it does not wear off. It's also technically a plastic so does not cause any metal sensitivities when handled (we have been asked this so hope this clarifies).

- A few minor adjustments from the monotone deck - there are no major changes besides the colouring.

- Printed in Europe on high-quality 320 gram playing card stock with a carbon inner layer to protect against bending and creasing.

- Lightly varnished for durability without a plastic feeling - the finish is very matte so that there is a great contrast between the general finish and the cold-stamped areas.

- Sturdy hinged box for long-term storage. The second edition box is gold-foiled and is a new design.

- Booklet with meanings and guide for use.

- An extra three of Cups "mermaids" card (which is a scenic card)
