Pair with our Notes From the Pagan Otherworlds - Tarot Book - this book walks you through the artist's interpretation of each of the 84 cards

The deck is produced by Uusi founders Linnea Gits and Peter Dunham, themselves also designers and artists. It introduces a 23rd Higher Arcana card, "The Seeker" and five "Luna Cards" – all original introductions to the tarot format created by Uusi and found exclusively in Uusi's Pagan Otherworld's Tarot.

All imagery in this 84-card deck is hand painted using traditional oils by Linnea Gits and all copy is hand lettered by Peter Dunham. The deck is inspired by the visual beauty of nature, early Celtic mysticism and the luminous beauty of Renaissance paintings.

Traditional craftsmanship is of utmost importance to Uusi; they work with small family-owned companies still producing in the US.

Untranslatable Words Card Set

A set of 20 cards which explain the meaning behind untranslatable words from around the world.

We’re hugely dependent on language to express how we really feel, and yet words often feel curiously vague or frustratingly inaccurate. There are lots of moods, needs and feelings that our own language has not yet properly pinned down. The perfect word - even if it comes from abroad - helps us explain ourselves to other people, and its existence quietly reassures us (and everyone else) that a state of mind is not really rare, just rarely spoken of.

This set of cards define some of our favourite words from the world's languages and married them up with complementary images to create cards that bring some of our most important feelings into focus. We’ve created them to prompt greater reflection about the nature of language and the emotions.

Example Cards

DUENDE (Spanish): A heightened sense of emotion created by a moving piece of art.

FORELSKET (Norwegian): The euphoric feeling at the beginning of love. We can’t believe someone so perfect has wandered into our lives. They enhance and complete us. We might report: ‘I was overpowered by forelsket as our fingers interlaced…’

YŪGEN (Japanese): Gives a name to a mood in which one feels that the universe as a whole possesses a mysterious and elusive beauty. Moonlight, snow on distant mountains, birds flying very high in the evening sky, and watching the sun rise over the ocean all feed this sensibility.

20 cards in box | 159mm x 115mm x 20mm.

Games For Grown -Ups

0 activities to draw us away from static conversation and cast aside reserve to get in touch with the neglected imaginative aspects of ourselves.

We are used to thinking of good conversation as the glue that holds friendships together, but we shouldn’t forget the immense value of playing games, with some of the same spirit of fun and adventure that we once deployed when we were children.
