Introduction:
This deck inherits the symbolic framework and core meanings of the Rider-Waite Tarot system. While maintaining the original interpretations of the 78 cards, it combines partial astrology and integrates the author's understanding of semiotics. It is particularly suitable for researchers who have mastered basic Tarot knowledge and desire multi-dimensional perspectives in card interpretation practice.
Some cards, especially the Major Arcana, showcase the creator's philosophical thinking about Tarot through artistic narrative by reconstructing symbolic elements. Newly added imagery elements and the author's personal understanding are explicitly marked in handwritten annotations, retaining the certainty of traditional spread interpretations while providing open associative space for intuitive readers.
[Note: In Court Cards (Representative Zodiac Sign: Cancer/Venus Mercury Cancer, Sun Gemini), it means this Court Card can correspond to the sign of Cancer, but its Cancer traits are more prominent with Venus/Mercury, and Gemini traits are prominent with the Sun. This correspondence form is adopted from the Golden Dawn System.]

Author's Message:
"The Tarot of Hand-Classic Edition" was inspired by an early painting of mine themed around hands. It was a painting I personally liked very much, so I always hoped it could be seen by more people (finally, this painting was added to the entire deck in the form of blank cards) — this is one aspect; on the other hand, among the decks I have seen so far, there is no Tarot deck themed around hands, so I believe this creative theme possesses certain innovation. I wanted to paint some less common themes.
Among them, the Fool card depicts the hand of an infant congealed out of the void, with an opened eye in the hand gazing upward — meaning born from the void, opening eyes to see the world. This is the tone I wish to convey to everyone with this whole deck. I hope this deck can bring users a different perspective and different feelings, as the saying goes: Seeing mountains as mountains, seeing water as water; seeing mountains not as mountains, seeing water not as water; seeing mountains still as mountains, seeing water still as water.
The black background of the whole deck is the chaotic night sky, while the white lines are the light emerging from within. This is the light illuminating the unknown road ahead, and also the spark of inspiration bursting forth in the mind. Although the overall deck content is relatively simple and plain, I hope this simple "light" can be direct and effective like a flashlight in the dark night, dispelling the confusion in every user's heart.
