VICKI Noble, who with Karen Vogel created the Motherpeace Tarot Deck in the late 1970s, hasn't really kept up with the latest happenings in the community of divinatory playing cards. But when Maria Grazia Chiuri, artistic director of Christian Dior, called and said she wanted to incorporate the Motherpeace into a fashion line, she and Vogel agreed. Both felt it could breathe new life into their 40-year-old deck.
Almost six months after Dior's fashion show in Santa Monica, California, Motherpeace sales have skyrocketed, up 263 per cent from last year, according to Stuart Kaplan, chairman and owner of US Games Systems, a global distributor.
"I feel like this is a wave, and we should catch it," Noble said.
