Product Description
From their website:
Have you ever walked through a historic cemetery and wondered about the art on the stone monuments? The weeping angels, the anchors, the scrolls and doves…what do they all mean, aside from being beautiful ways to wish a loving farewell? The markers in Victorian-era cemeteries often carry powerful stories about the deceased, and were never meant to be mysterious. In their time, they were a common language of expression, but as trends have changed and modernity has set in, we no longer find them common or clear. If you’re willing to learn the meanings of a handful of symbols, you will find layers of cultural history in those shapes and figures, and being receptive to them is like hearing the dead speak.
Roses, Dust & Ashes — an artist-made 36-card deck
With richly hand-painted illustrations of cemetery symbols, this very unique oracle taps into the evocative language of Victorian mourning symbolism.
Oracle decks come with 36 tarot-sized cards. Also includes a "little pink book" with detailed descriptions of the cards, complete with an extensive glossary of cemetery symbols that makes the book a handy guide to bring on road trips.
Comes in a large hard-shell coffin box.
Smooth-coated cards in tarot size, with an easy-to-shuffle finish. Cards are edged in antique gold metallic gilding.
