Mirrors of the Heart–some of the cards in the deck–by Lily S. May, copyright 1994Like it or not, it’s Valentine’s Day. And because of that, I’m offering up some hearts from the card deck I made in 1994. Mirrors of the Heart grew out of my interest at that time in tarot cards. I thought of each card as being a quality that the heart, or at least my heart, desires. It’s an oracle deck, a deck for storytelling.
The deck has been the largest single project I’ve ever created. I remember feeling a strong sense of accomplishment in taking the deck from the stages of thought and intuition through to carving the 44 linocuts that comprise it.

May the heart be with you and may you be graced by love.
If you’d like more information about the Mirrors Deck, see my site or my etsy store. Thanks!
