Madame Laveau Playing Cards is the latest edition to the Odd Fellow Line up by Stockholm 17. Madame Laveau The Soothsayer Edition deck features metallic green gilded playing cards and fully custom illustrations by Lorenzo.
Inspired by the renowned New Orleans Voo-Doo Queen Marie Laveau this deck of cards integrates her mystical practices into its design and features voodoo, divination, chiromancy, and more, it's a blend of the arcane and the mystical.
This unique addition to the Odd Fellow family features blue tuck box and 3D lens holographic sticker mimicking the crystal ball, with reveal card.
While the deck looks and like a standard poker set, as with all Stockholm17 cards there is an artistic twist. The Court Cards of the Madame Laveau Playing Cards represent 12 of the 22 major arcana from the tarot.
Each linked to a zodiac sign and corresponding month, blending the worlds of astrology and tarot.
The deck's suits are each themed with a unique set of mystical or mysterious symbols:
Hearts are adorned with astronomical symbols, representing celestial bodies.
Diamonds feature celestial symbols, depicting spirits and angels.
Clubs showcase the African Nsibibi pictograms.
Spades are decorated with alchemical symbols, adding an esoteric touch to the deck.
There are two small errors to note. The Queen of Hearts mistakenly displays the major arcana number XVII, rather than the correct XVIII. And on the card with the table, Clubs have the African Nsbibi pictograms, not Spades. Therefore Spades have Alchemical symbols.
