D
uring 15th century Florence, Italy, Cosimo de’ Medici said, “Art and Magick always call to each other.
Creating magical worlds is what Londa does best.
And, Way Of The Sword (Via della Spada) where Londa's studio is located in Florence, Italy, is where her world's are created. After all, art is usually by Way Of The Sword.
Florence, Italy's ancient knowledge, code and ages old symbolism is the Renaissance village's way of life and a magnificent source for her studies and inspiration. Londa is a visionary of art, music, technology and cryptography: the art of writing codes or solving codes = tarot.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
—Arthur C. Clarke

Card: I MAGICIAN - VISCONTI-SFORZA TAROT
Tarocchi decks were invented in Italy in the 1430s by adding to the existing four-suited pack a fifth suit of 21 specially illustrated cards called trionfi (“triumphs”) and an odd card called il matto (“the fool”). The cards were used to play a bridge-like game known as tarocchi, popular at the time among nobles and other leisure lovers. Tarot cards likely originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century. The oldest surviving set, known as the Visconti-Sforza deck, was created for the Duke of Milan's family around 1440.
