When we envisioned this deck and began the mental/psychic process of creation prior to the actual physical work, we quickly agreed
on several things. The most important ones were that we wanted to use symbols associated with Hekate since antiquity for the Minor
Arcana suits and that the Major Arcana would all be related to aspects or epithets of Hekate. We knew that this could mean that our
deck would not conform to a classic tarot of 78 cards with 13 of each Minor suit and 22 Majors. Having our vision clearly in mind, we
were not dismayed by this and quickly resolved the symbols we would use and the elemental associations each would correspond with
for purposes of associating them with the typical suits of the tarot. With this issue settled, we began to plan the Deck in earnest.
