Victoria Regina Tarot

A beautiful tarot deck, made from “engravings used in commercial illustration of the late 19th century”. Look for the Happy Squirrel card.

Perhaps you are wondering why there’s a card in the deck called The Happy Squirrel. The card is a reference to an episode of The Simpsons in which Lisa gets a Tarot reading from a gypsy fortune teller. The first card is Death: Lisa screams in the fear, and the reader reassures her that “Death is good. Death means change.” Then the second card is the Happy Squirrel. Lisa says “Oh how cute,” and the reader screams in fear! I thought that was hysterical so I put a tribute to it on my site. The Happy Squirrel card won’t be in the published deck.
