Background
The Exile Tarot features a calm yet poignant aesthetics with its gentle color palette and a duo of romantically intertwined designs. "Exile" is a metaphor for life, alluding to the nature of human existence as an unending quest of identity-building and rebuilding: we must break in a labyrinth of trials and errors and mend our fragmented selves in a perpetual cycle of renewal. Each time of bidding farewell brings us incrementally closer to a state of fulfillment.
Dual Designs
To capture this bittersweet journey of growing up, each card is drawn twice. In the "Silent" version, all figures are featureless with erased faces. In the "Awaken" version, they have their eyes open with lively expressions. The names "Silent" and "Awaken" not only describe the characters but also the energy states of each scene. The depiction in "Silent" is dormant with dark undercurrents, while "Awaken" uses more lively and vibrant brushstrokes to depict the same scene, thereby creating two either progressive or complementary visual experiences.

The deck is very high quality and the art is very unique and beautiful. Very very happy with the purchase. Will definitely purchase more decks from the creator.
Perfect
I purchased the mini and the delux editions and they are wonderful. The cards feel loverly to shuffle and the guilded edging on the larger cards looks amazing. The artwork is so interesting and the guidebook for each card and how it’s been written in perspective of the writer is very insightful as to what’s gone into these cards. The mini edition is such a good travel size and still has all the quality material as the larger deck. I love the fact they’ve given you the option to have face and faceless cards allowing more room for you to interpret the scene.
Absolutely gorgeous set! I couldn't make a choice between Awaken and Silent version so decided to take both of them. They are really different and give different messages.
The deck ended up being one of my favorites in my collection. I love how it's a fine balance between RWS imagery and brand new compositions which are actually much deeper and packed with more meanings than I expected. The personality of the figures in the art pops out and 'speaks' clearly, telling a story when put into a spread. The cardstock is very durable and easy to shuffle, which is very helpful in the 'mini' version, as it feels so durable and strong - very easy to carry with you and do readings on the go, or outside. I purchased the mini edition and already want to buy the regular to go along with it since there is much detail in many of the card arts that deserve to be seen 'full size'.
Shipping arrived faster than I expected too. Great service, thank you!
