 Bio: Mr. la-luna (aka Stefan Spelkens) is a 36 years young tarot-enthousiast/addict/holic/… (Call or define it any way you like I’m sure it fits me) living in Belgium. The only thing limiting my tarot acquiring is my budget – but I still manage to get some gems regularly.


Chariot: As with all my cards this one is made by mixing photo’s I took with royalty free images. Here I played with the idea of a strong hard base – the stone image of the chariot with its charioteers mixed with the alchemical sun and moon for the dynamic power they represent and also the astrologic symbol of the card namely Cancer (linked to water and the sea – hence also a link, tough not explicitly shown with Poseidon)

Page of Swords: As basis for this page and to emphasize its role as messenger and it’s youthfulness I used an old begin of the 20th century photograph of a young postal boy. Combined with elements from ancient and modern times (the sword wielding angel beneath him as a symbol for his passion and quick to (re)act mentality – and the computer motherboard as a sign of modernity, curiosity and the present & new and coming times.

Page of Pentacles: Once again I used a very old image here (pre WW I if I remember correctly) (it’s an image I’ve also used in a personal deck I’m creating – with some modifications made for our deck here) I wanted to make an image that shows this page as a child of nature ready and willing to harvest it’s fruits.
