Underland Arcana Deck One

There are four aspects of the eternal spark: the numinous the esoteric the supernatural and the weird. These are the ways that hope manifests. These are the ways we keep ourselves engaged. These are the ways by which we learn how to fight monsters. We stand with cup shield sword and stick. This is the iconography of Arcana. These are the four quarters of the whole. These are the ways we heal harbor howl and hum.. This then is the first deck of the Arcana: thirty-eight stories that celebrate these aspects.
