Description

Day 9 of our Kickstarter:  The Legend of Tarot , a Tarot deck that uses the visual language of video games.

Meet the Hierophant!

"Hierophant is a Greek word for the high priest of a mystery religion, and has since been used to describe a person who explains things--especially the mysteries... its presence raises issues that engage your conscience, spiritual values, morals, and sense of duty."

Tarot for a New Generation by Janina Renee

We chose The Great Deku Tree as inspiration for our Hierophant for obvious reasons.  Any fan of OoT will recall that it was the Great Deku Tree that revealed the mysteries of the Golden Goddesses, the origin of the world, and the coming of darkness to Link as well as engaging Link's conscience and essentially calling him to fulfill his destiny as the Hero of Time.

I wish I had a great Deku Tree.   We would just sit together and watch the world go by ^^

Makes sense for the Deku Tree to be the Hierophant.

The title ‘A View from World’s End’ came to mind when I saw this piece.
