Starmaiden's Tarot 1974 - Psychedelic tarot

This tarot emerged from the circles around Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, a German Rock music producer in the early 1970's. His female companion Gille Lettman, who was interested in tarot and occult science, was nicknamed 'The Starmaiden'. Kaiser was drawn into LSD drug experiences through his meetings with Timothy Leary who was at that time exiled in Switzerland.

The artwork for this deck is reminiscent of the 'hippy' style found in alternative magazines of that period. Very Bowie-esque! Smoke free home

This piece is a facsimile reproduction printed in France from the original(Sternenmadchens Wahrsagespiel) printed in the 70's.

22 Major Arcana 124x90mm + 1 extra card

Some infos if you want to know a bit more about who is "the Star Girl":

"Star-maiden", in ancient Greek religion is is the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision.

Known as the "Star Maiden" or "Star Goddess". She is best known for being the last immortal to live among the humans on Earth before leaving in disgust of humanity's brutality and wickedness.

She is the daughter of either Zeus and Themis or of Eos and Astraeus. She is often depicted as a winged woman, carrying a torch and the scales of justice. She is also said to have helped Zeus in battle, and is sometimes portrayed carrying his lightning bolts with her.

Some believe that Astraea's image is the portrayed on the "Justice" card in the major arcana of the tarot. There is reason to believe that this is true. In the most famous rendition of the card's artwork, a winged woman carrying a torch and thunderbolts stands beside the throne of Zeus. The name "Astrape" is inscribed above her.

When she left Earth for the heavens, she essentially took the "Golden Age of Man" with her. Later literature inferred that once humanity realized what it had done, they hoped for her to return, inferring that she would bring the Golden Age back with her. This is notably similar to the "return of the messiah" in Christian mythology.

Though not one of the most well-known the Greek gods and goddesses, the Star Maiden's influence has lasted throughout the years. Greek epics and English literature refer to her in poems over several centuries, including one by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
