Tarot Sirene available now.
The very first Tarot Sirene has now shipped. As the rest of the pre-orders get packaged, labelled and stamped I can’t help being swept by the wave of joy that this project holds for me and my brother.
My brother Emilio and I have a long history of collaboration, from our Trick or Treating adventures, bad behaviour in boarding school, crazy road trips in Romania, late nights out, our love for good TV entertainment to when I cast him in all my film school projects (eventually leading him to pursue an acting career), and the glorious time we put on a major play together in Mexico City. (Right around when I started Wandering Oracle)
On to our first card printing project, the (now out of print) Spooktacular Halloween Lenormand, which was sparked by both our love for magic and an amazing birthday Lenormand deck my brother hand illustrated for me that eventually led to the creation almost four years ago of the Marshmallow Marseille Tarot.
You could say we are close. It would be an understatement. We recently gave a speech at our best friend’s wedding where we spoke of how when we were kids we declared ourselves witches, not willing to wait until sixteen like Sabrina. Committing ourselves to a life of magic. That spell holds strong, through our projects, life decisions and experiences. We work with the principle that we are united.

The Tarot Sirene, our latest project brings together many of the magics we have gathered whilst working and living in various places around the world. From the friends we have been fortunate to meet and be connected with to the fictional worlds which so often have augmented our realities to the point of breaking our beliefs.
Stories, people, mermaids, colour, adventure, discovery, travel, the sea. These are a few of our favorite things. May the iridescent waves of the Tarot Sirene take you places you’ve never been before.

It’s a beautiful deck — both of them. Hope you re-release your halloween lenormand! Would love to see a post or an interview about your artistic process and the mediums used to create the original cards.
Hi Tamara, big ๐! We were planning to do something with the Spooktacular Lenormand this year but the re-print of the Tarot decks ended up taking the Halloween slot and most of our time. It is definitely still in our plans though. That’s a great suggestion, my brother is the artist and we would love to do something like that together. Stay tuned!
Looking forward to it! ๐
Jorge — can you tell me the medium Emilio uses to color the original cards? Is it a paint? Thanks!
Hi Tamara, he uses watercolours.
