**Purchase the deck alone or as part of a bundle with Madam Lulu's Book Of Fate: A Guide To The Carnival At The End Of The World Tarot by Sarah Falkner.

Carnival at the End of the World Tarot is a contemporary tarot deck summoned from the same mythologies artist duo Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick have been exploring in their recent photographs, paintings and book project. In 2006, their multimedia project Eisbergfreistadt included a poker deck that when laid out in a long line, revealed a panoramic narrative of climate change and environmental devastation. In 2017, as the stakes of the Great Game have grown greater and the Anthropocene has exponentially brought change and chaos to many lives around the world, they have moved from making cards for jovial pastimes to those for divination: the Tarot, which in its traditional uses has been consulted to forecast disaster, anticipate risk, and navigate life-choices through backstage access to the Unseen. However, worry not if you don't wish to dabble in sortilege and oracular query to peruse a glimpse of what the future may have in store for you--you may also ruminate upon the cards one by one in a linear fashion, and meditate upon the views from the Fool's Journey as one would read a Pilgrim's Progress; or, just as seekers and wanderers once stowed painted icons and gilded relics in the pockets of their cloaks, the Tarot can be a portable trove of mystifying talismanic images to accompany, inspire and entertain you on your own peregrinations.

Madam Lulu's Book Of Fate: A Guide To The Carnival At The End Of The World Tarot 
The Essential guidebook to the meanings and mysteries of the Carnival at the End of the World Tarot as channeled and transcribed by author and Tarot scholar Sarah Falkner. This updated and redesigned version of the guidebook includes interpretations of the bonus cards unique to this deck, as well as a brief history on the origins of the Tarot. Paperback, approximately 196 pages.

Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick, both born in 1964, are a collaborative artist team who work primarily in the fields of photography and installation art. They specialize in fictitious histories set in both the past and future. The artists have participated in over 100 solo and group exhibitions worldwide and have work in over 20 collections including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution. Portfolios of their work have appeared in fine art and photography magazines worldwide.
