Madame LaVeau the Soothsayer, released as part of Stockholm’s 2023 Patron Awards.

I had in mind a new odd fellow and finally I found some inspiration and started to sketch some odd court cards based on a concept.

The way I am distributing characteristics of the characters is displayed in the black table. Long story short: I picked the number of court cards (12) and I am matching them with the 12 houses of the zodiac, the 12 months, and 12 major arcana associated to that month (like my Keymaster Tarot Calendar). Suits are associated to seasons, and this will affect the color palette difference between red and black cards.

Who is Madame Laveau? find Marie Laveau on wikipedia. I did not take everything from the original character, just the last name and the mystic aspect.
