The art movement commonly known as Art Nouveau was created with a single vision - to create beauty through art in a way that was intended for the everyday use of all society members, not just the elite. Prior to this movement, mediums such as painting and sculpture were viewed as superior to other forms of expression such as illustration, design, and even architecture. Once the Art Nouveau movement was realized, this mentality was quickly debated by the artists and art critics of the time which resulted in some of the most influential work of the past century. Those artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Otto Wagner, and Koloman Moser perfected their style through hard work and dedication. The resulting work reflected this devotion to the craft and birthed an era of beauty through the fusion of art and nature. Today, we have entered a similar phase in which the quick way is considered as the best way. We have all but forgotten those lessons that the pioneers of the Art Nouveau movement had showed us. In art, there are no shortcuts and no quick solutions for an artist to truly convey their message. I have adopted this philosophy within my own work. I feel that there are no shortcuts to producing true Art Nouveau. I have chosen to take on this project and produce a unique tarot deck that will incorporate the Art Nouveau philosophy. It is my passion to create product that I will be proud of for years to come. Every line, every color application, and every sketch that has gone into this project is by hand. I have dedicated myself to the final touch of this project by the inclusion of illuminated gold foil on each card. I hope that, with your help, this campaign will become a reality. I am dedicated to this project and its completion!

The interest in the Norse gods has grown substantially in popularity from the emerging archeological finds, television shows, and Marvel movies. We are learning more about the Viking culture every day and people want more! We decided we wanted more as well - a playing card deck featuring a more authentic interpretation of the Norse gods. So, we went digging into the sagas and decided to create a deck based on the famous final battle of Ragnarök. Through that research, we discovered Dr. Jackson Crawford, Instructor of Nordic Studies and Nordic Program Coordinator at the University of Colorado Boulder and author of The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes and The Saga of the Volsungs: With the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok and a wealth of knowledge on everything Viking. With Dr. Crawford's personal consulting and guidance for this project we were able to incorporate the correct, strict Old Norse names and descriptions for these mighty figures of legend, depictions so accurate to the original sources that Dr. Crawford has even suggested they be used in an academic environment! The outcome of all this work is a stunning deck that the gods themselves would be proud of - GJALLARHORN! What is GJALLARHORN? GJALLARHORN, or the Yelling Horn, is known by many as the horn wielded by Heimdallr to announce the coming of Ragnarök.When sounded, all of the players of the final battle will gather; Odin, Thor, Loki, Hel, Tyr, and many others. Once gathered, the mighty battle will begin. Here, in this unique deck, we have gathered the deities and creatures who will play an important role in this battle. The GJALLARHORN is sounding! Will you join your fellow warriors in battle? A deck worthy of the gods! We have taken every step to ensure that the GJALLARHORN Deck will be the pinnacle of quality: ► High Quality 310 gsm German card stock ► Unique Norse mammen art style inspired box and card designs. ► Gold/Silver foiled, embossed tuck boxes ► 100% unique courts illustrated by hand in the Art Nouveau style ► Gold/Silver metallic inks for card backs ► 54 poker sized playing cards (52 cards + 2 jokers) ► Printed by NPCC with premium linen finish ► All artwork is complete and ready to print
