AN INSIGHT BY THE ARTIST DAVID HIGGINS

It has been said that, rather than discovering the tarot yourself- it chooses to make itself known to you!
The tarot made itself known to me many years ago, when a collector of my paintings asked me if i would care to produce a painting illustrating the four wands card for a deck called "the fantasy showcase tarot". Following the publication of this deck i was asked to produce a set called "the interstellar role playing tarot" for u.s. games systems inc. Some of the pencil drawings for the uncompleted deck appear in the Encyclopedia of Tarot vol 3 by Stuart R. Kaplan.
The 22 major arcana cards of the Sacred Isle Tarot deck relate to the world within ourselves. I have kept to the general concensus as to what is believed to be the true meanings of each card, although my pictorial interpretations may vary a little from many decks.
Painting these pictures has been a labour of love which has been rewarded with new insights and discoveries every step of the way and also an indefinable sense of fascination and pleasure.
I hope that anyone who enjoys tarot art will find joy in meditating upon these ancient and deep symbolic images. The cards and prints are self published using the highest quality bubble jet prints, using the best quality inks and high grade papers, the cards are laquered and waxed.
