To the best of my knowledge, no one has created a Black Metal Tarot deck. I think it would be a great idea!
I'm inspired by the dark nature art of some of my favourite ambient/atmospheric black metal bands.
I'd love to complete the whole 22 cards in the major arcana set.

(i know this depiction isn't exactly a 'wheel' as such, but it seem to fit best for what i wanted).

Wheel of Fortune (La Roue de Fortune)
The Lord of the Forces of Life

Divinatory meaning:
Upright - Effortless success. Good fortune that is unexpected. Coincidences. Luck. The beginning of a new cycle. Advancement. Positive upheaval. Change. A card of good fortune, the appearance of destiny and Karmic change.
Reversed - Bad luck that is unexpected. Resistance to change. Unexpected interruptions. A warning against gambling. Difficulties. Delays.

Love the work you did on my personality card but honestly i'm missing some kind of balanced symbolism, the 'good vs the bad' that keeps the wheel going etc... but i keep resembling this to crowley and that isn't a black metal deck so, nice one!

thanks! i originally intended something else for this, so perhaps i missed an element or two, and plus i will admit of not having perfect knowledge of the tarot :P

Good idea to use the pentagram on this one. I just wonder the reason of the presence of the tree on this card.

you do have a point... maybe the tree looks a bit odd.
