I feel like Jane Eyre is the ultimate gothic romance, makes me excited that I backed that gothic lit tarot ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@tarotgeektv]

Hi Teslagoth. I totally agree, I am going to go see Jane Eyre next month at the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. That was part of the inspiration behind the tag. I am also super excited about the gothic lit tarot. That one is going to be fun to read by candlelight with. ❣

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

Fabulous thoughtful prompt. I hope to see many responses. I always love seeing your decks and your thoughts behind them.

Thank you Jess. 🥰

[@tehsmom]

thanks for th3 suggestion about Jeremy Hush, I love that deck, and feel so connected to the art, so a bit more insight is very appreciated.

[@tarotgeektv]

You are welcome. Last rites gallery in NYC was one of the places that had some info about some of the works, but they closed in 2020 and I don't think they reopened. They might still have information on their site. The museum sites were the places I found the most information. I just looked at where Jeremys' art was on display on Jeremy's instagram and then followed those links, usually museums. I found a ton of information about the individual art pieces. I did this a few years ago so I don't know what is still online but I am sure you can find some information that will be helpful. Good hunting. ❣

This is a great tag. Plus I want to mention I love your table or background, it just looks cozy, somewhere you'd want to light a candle and do a reading at. 😊

Thanks so much Carrie! 🥰

[@annasmith6651]

A great label - I wonder who coined it? But I really enjoyed your tag, the prompts and your choices. Thank for fronting this one.

[@tarotgeektv]

Thanks Anna. 💖

The label "dark academia" gained traction during the height of Tumblr's influence around 2012-2013, or at least that is when I first started noticing it. It quickly became a popular aesthetic. In the tarot community, I began seeing it a few years before the pandemic, but it truly surged within the TarotTube space at the start of the pandemic when many were at home, searching for deeper connections and intellectual engagement-though some of us were already immersed in those vibes. I feel like it is now a very mainstream label, funny how fast that can happen.

[@annasmith6651]

Wow thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ve been asleep!
