The Londa Tarot

"If you hear hoofbeats, think of a zebra."

​Paintings by Londa Marks (Febr. 26, 1952, in Marietta Ohio)

The Londa Tarot arose from the displeasure of the designer with the already existing decks with which she couldn’t connect. Experiences from a past as a creative designing costumes and make up for a rock band and an interest for Native Americans ultimately led to the unusual design of the cards that show an otherworldly style varying from gothic to classic Italian. The images also reflect a typical early nineties feeling: a lot of Big Hair is shown while the figurines are somewhat elfin. A bit like David Bowie going Bold and the Beautiful. These extraordinary cards possess all the qualities necessary to become true cult tarot cards.

From the accompanying booklet:
‘Londa’s characters appear in a state of theatrics; all in their own personal play, acting out their divinations. Some appear to be three-dimensional as they come out of their world into yours. Some wickedly seductive characters lure you into staring back at them. They bid you to define their emotions and once you have employed the emotions and really feel each card, you will find yourself investigating many of the thoughts you hold from a completely new perspective…’

The Londa Tarot was published in 1993 by US Games Systems Inc, Stamford USA. The copy shown on our site is a first 1993 edition.
