In the grand cosmic saga, where the solar system emerged from the crucible of fire, over 4.5 billion years have shaped our existence. Earth, now cooled and sustained by the radiant heat of the sun, witnesses the intricate dance of life entwined with the cosmic flame. A new deck pays homage to this elemental force, revered as one of the cornerstones of the universe: AGNI.
AGNI (fire in Sanskrit) has been forged by Orion Playing cards and entirely designed by Bivas Bhattacharjee (Old Gravity). The genesis of Agni lies in the deep connection between human history, culture, technology, and mythology with the transformative power of fire. As ancient sages recognised fire as a life force, Agni immortalises this reverence through captivating cards.
In the court cards, each suit represents a different facet of humanity’s relationship with fire. Clubs embody natural fire, celebrating Homo Erectus’ discovery that reshaped human evolution. Diamonds, symbolizing discovered fire, pay tribute to visionary pioneers of nuclear science. Spades delve into mythical fire, representing iconic figures like Prometheus, an eternal symbol of stolen fire. Hearts, representing passionate fire, capture the emotional intensity of artists and maidens.
