Inspired by Maya mythology, the deck comes in two variations differentiated by color scheme, named "The Sun Deck" and "The Moon Deck":

The Mayans were ardent astronomers. They believed that celestial bodies were gods and interpreted their movements as gods traveling among Earth, the underworld, and other celestial destinations. Since these gods were greatly involved in human affairs (to the point that many events were planned according to certain celestial moments; dynasties often claimed to have descended from the sun or the moon), the Mayans heavily studied every aspect of the sky, especially the sun and the moon.

About the Maya sun:

• The sun was of utmost importance to the Mayans.
• The Maya sun god, Kinich Ahau, is one of the most powerful gods of the Mayan pantheon. He shines in the sky all day before transforming into a jaguar at night to roam the Maya underworld.
• The Mayans were experts at predicting solar phenomena such as eclipses, solstices, and equinoxes.
• The solar cycles formed the basis of the Maya calendar.

About the Maya moon:

• The moon was one of the most enigmatic and important elements of Maya mythology, which often associated it with a maiden, an old woman, or a rabbit.
• The Maya moon goddess is Ixchel, the patroness of fertility and the creation of life.
• The Mayans were aware of the moon's influence on tidal waves, harvests, and fertility, so they dedicated themselves to identifying and recording its phases.
