Leopoldo María Panero (born Madrid, 1948), is a Spanish poet, commonly placed in the Novísimos poetic group. He has experiences with drugs from alcohol to heroin, to which he would dedicate an impressive collection of poems in 1992. In the decade of the 70's he is admitted for the first time in a psychiatric hospital. Nevertheless, his constant internments do not prevent him from developing a copious bibliography not only as a poet, but as a translator, essayist and even narrator.

This is a deck and book set. Each card is accompanied by a poem, a description and an interpretation. The main themes that Panero explores are alchemy, magic, psychoanalysis, homosexuality, madness and death.

Regretsy Tarot

Creator(s): April's Army Artist Collective
Date: 2011
Country: USA
Publisher: Moon & Star
Number of Cards: 79
ISBN:
Type: RWS
Reference: Caboosterkit







Notes:
This deck is being designed by 25 Regretsy fans and artists all over the world, who call themselves 'April's Army'. Regretsy is an online community created by April Winchell that parodies the handmade crafts that are shown on Etsy.

The Regretsy Tarot is a limited-edition tarot deck of 1200 copies. The 79-card deck follows the RWS pattern and is divided up into major and minor arcana. The cards depict the vocabulary and culture of Regretsy. The suits are Tools, Genitalia, WTF, and Whimsicles (F*ckery). "Whimsical" is often spelled wrong on Etsy, so that particular typo has become a running joke amongst Regretsians.

Both the majors and minors give a title for each card as well as the promotional information for the artist who designed the card. The deck comes with an extra card called "Towel Mike".

The backs of the cards appear from a distance like black and white diamond and square patterns with a flower image in the center. On a closer look they are human genitalia, a circle of penises surrounds a circle of vaginas.

In the Regretsy Tarot, the major arcana cards represent people and things of special significance to the Regretsy community. The Majors have been renamed as follows:

The Fool	The Cupcake		Justice	Judge Judy
The Magician	Sir Flounce of the Forest		The Hanged Man	Turkey Skants
The High Priestess	Helen Killer		Death	Skull Fascinator
The Empress	The Vagoo		Temperance	The Flounce
The Emperor	Bronc Drywall		The Devil	The Reseller
The Hierophant	The Hellephant		The Tower	Never Forgetsy
The Lovers	The Owl and the Octopus		The Star	Peck of the Day
The Chariot	The Chariot (Level 4 Cat)		The Moon	Accidental Goatse
Strength	Goatse		The Sun	Coleslaw
The Hermit	The Sad Hipster		Judgment	The Rapture
Wheel of Fortune	Steampunk		The World	April’s Army
