My husband sent me a link to a video by Peter Schilling: http://youtu.be/4mhaPdURg7Y
If you watch it, be warned, it is a cheese-fest :D Lipizzaner stallions, twins, ballet dancers, and "more hair shaking than a shampoo ad" as he put it
But there's also a tarot deck. This Peter Schilling fellow is German, so it's probably a European deck. The first shot in which you see it, there's a big Eye in black and white, surrounded by sun rays. Unfortunately this is the only place where a card is shown clearly. See the first attachment.
The Eye shows up as a symbol here and there in the video. Then, for like two or three seconds, you can see cards scattered and the Eye card is in the middle. Unfortunately, it's blurry. But a couple of the cards are fairly clear. To the right, there's one that could be The Lovers, and to the left, one that might be the Hierophant or possibly the Hermit. I've uploaded two shots of this.
I would have thought the Eye card was from a different deck entirely (or created for the video) since it looks very different from the others, but it seems to have the same border treatment. The cards seem to have titles at the bottoms -- they put me in mind of Lo Scarabeo multi-lingual titles, though unfortunately they're impossible to read.
I included the YouTube player frame so you can see at what point in the video each frame comes from.
Any ideas?
