Welcome to Archetypical, a site featuring tarot decks conceived by and created by Nendil and Elwen. Currently we have Nendil's Harry Potter deck and Elwen's X deck. Choose one from the left or learn about the site at the bottom. Enjoy your stay.

If you are using Netscape, the card pages are going to look really weird. We're working on a solution, but in the meantime, Elwen would like to say that Netscape 4.x sucks, so you should either upgrade or get IE anyway. :P Other than that, try viewing the source code to read text and using view image to see the cards.

          Updates
01.09.08 - Harry Potter: And that's the rest of the descriptions for the Major Arcana!  Also put up a FAQ in the Site section about the deck.  - Nendil

11.16.07 - Harry Potter: Card descriptions are up for over half of the Major Arcana!  More to come, of course.  - Nendil

11.07.07 - Harry Potter: The seventh book is done, and the deck is finalized!  Seeing how I'm now a busy CG student, I don't know when I'd be able to work on the illustrations more, but this project is definitely not forgotten.  You can now see the finalized list in the HP section.  Most of the descriptions aren't ready yet, but I'm working as fast as I can to get the complete deck up for you - keep watching this space!  - Nendil

04.03.03 - Harry Potter: Whoa... I return!  I haven't abandoned the deck, just took a break from it for lack of artistic inspiration.  However, now my art skills have been honed quite a bit more, and I've updated all the old cards with better, improved artwork.  Enjoy!  Oh, there are also a few new card interpretations up, though no new illustrations yet.  - Nendil

03.12.03 - X: Added some more minors -- all but one of the ones I originally had, now rescanned and with the new designs.  I'll get to the Majors eventually... it's just hard to fathom what CLAMP was thinking sometimes.  - Elwen

02.22.03 - X: Started redoing the cards, added two card back designs.  A bunch of the old cards were taken down, but there are some new ones, too.  My primary goal was to get up one Minor from each suit, so you can see the suit designs.  Next, I'm going to try to finish interpreting the existing Majors.  - Elwen

02.17.03 - No, we're actually not dead!  I'm back into my tarot obsession, and I've redesigned the X cards and will be working on them.  In the meantime, a bit of site reoganization -- namely, the Middle Earth deck is gone, because I don't think I'll be able to do anything with it anytime soon -- and there's a new thing for spreads in the site section, which will also someday be part of the aforementioned separate site, hopefully.  - Elwen

01.07.02 - Harry Potter: Not one, but TWO new cards, laden with special effects!  Strength and The Star are now illustrated.
   If you would like to see full-sized versions of the original illustrations, tell me about it.  I was considering this feature eventually anyways, but more e-mails will drive me to quicker action. =) - Nendil
