The eggs that we decorate today along with the image of the Easter bunny have strong pagan roots, with Saxon people rejoicing at the arrival of eggs, more plentiful game and fresh plants once more becoming available on the sun's return. Eostremonth was one of the most important dates on the calendar, and as we celebrate the sun's return here in the northern hemisphere we'll learn about the Celtic herbalist goddess Airmed, the guardian spirit Aibell and the Anglo-Saxon god Tiw, cognate of the famous Tyr from Norse mythology. 56 fully custom playing cards designed by the incredibly talented Evgenia Zhade and Alessandra Gagliano Printed on slimline card stock with premium B9 linen finish by Cartamundi Luxury matte tuck boxes with our regular collaborator Boschiero & Newton in a traditional style with metallic foil accents and interior foiling Produced in Italy, cards printed in Belgium and boxes printed in Italy
