View Full Version : Identify This Deck Game~ Round #2
Black dragon
17-01-2006, 18:21
This is the new site for the "Identify this deck game originally started by Scorpion on the 01/02/05 almost 1 year ago. (we needed to create a new thread due to over 5,000 post on the previous one.):D
(old site = http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=36762)
For those who come to this thread without seeing the previous the game is basically as follows:
Someone places a clip of a tarot card and everyone else has to guess which deck the clip comes from, as time passes either clues or larger snippets of the card are given until someone guesses it correctly, then that person then places the next clip.
(edited to add) and the original person then places a picture of the whole card, so people can see how the clip relates to the whole card(/ or add the deck to their wishlist}))
However as only subscribers can place attachments, if your not a subscriber you'll have to ask for assistance from one of the wonderful other people, (who are all very nice people) (this can be e-mailed to the person then they place it for you) or you can add a link to a page contanining your picture.

Hmmm small but looks kind of familiar.... not in collection but seen it online
Let's make a guess..............."Gummy Bear Tarot"? It's the orange i think.

Ah, that was quick, I was expecting that to last so much longer, oh well Yep thats the one.
Up to you now La-Luna.
(if it was the fact i used that deck in a different thread, that gave it away, in my defence this one was planned first)

Well that was very fast (and i wasn't even sure about it - note to self trust even more intuition)
Ok new round here is my snippet good luck

Very fast reply but also very wrong but feel free to try some more
Black dragon
17-01-2006, 22:07
very wrong huh, how about a compleate change of direction with the Kalazar (not sure on the spelling)
Black Dragon
Not the "Kazanlar tarot"
But you're kind of sort of getting warmer

I don't know why I think it might be, but is this from the Wheel of Change deck?
weaver
nope
hint it's a deck from my collection and gregory has it also

ok another hint it is a deck published in europe
Another wild guess...Tarot of Hellen?
weaver
Or...might it be from the I Am One Tarot?
This is my final guess. I am operating under the "3 strikes and you're out" approach to this game! :laugh:
weaver
no and no
and still some time to go before i post a bigger snippit
time for a bigger one

I shouldn't guess AGAIN :bugeyed: but this clip just looks so familiar...I keep thinking I know it!
Is this from the Tarot du Roy Nissanka? (I haven't checked your profile or gregory's to see if you both have this one. I am imagining you both do...)
weaver
Someone places a clip of a tarot card and everyone else has to guess which deck the clip comes from, as time passes either clues or larger snippets of the card are given until someone guesses it correctly, then that person then places the next clip.
Black Dragon
Ahem.....Tiny Detail Here...... In all the excitement I think you forgot to mention that the "guessed" card is posted so everyone who doesn't have that deck can add it to their wishlist.....except gregory, who has it already, of course! :D :*

Opps sorry, (I did realise last night, that i hadn't put the whole card in but then i had no way of doing it till this morning) I've edited my previous posts to keep it in with the normal flow.
My excuss is that i was so surprised that it was guessed at that stage and so quickly, that it compleatly threw me.
Black Dragon

Thanks, la-luna! Your clip wriggled around in my head all day yesterday. I just was certain I knew the deck! It took me a while to finally wrap my brain around the correct guess.
Well on to a new round. Will someone guess one this right off? Let's find out! :)

Well, I have no idea what deck this clever clip comes from but that has never stopped me from hazarding a guess before, so here goes nothing.
This is an odd little snippet so I am going to guess an odd little deck. Is this from the Bosch Tarot?
weaver
Looks dark perhaps the "Akron Tarot" ?
BlueLotus
18-01-2006, 23:54
No, weaver and la-luna this is not a clip either from the Bosch or Akron tarots .
And for the record it is not from any LS decks. I hope this saves you time folks. It is though a major arcana card, published by a major publishing press.
Is it the "DAS GOLDEN GOMERA TAROT " aka "New Century Tarot" ?
BlueLotus
19-01-2006, 00:08
Is it the "DAS GOLDEN GOMERA TAROT " aka "New Century Tarot" ?
I don't know about the first part, but YES it is the New Century deck la-luna; that was quite fast.
Here is the Lovers' card from this deck.
Over to you la-luna
Finally home where I can scan something from my collection.
Let’s see what you make out of this one:
http://www.fotothing.com/thumbs/47b/47ba377c362e81aaa195933439caeb39.jpg
Wild guess here---is it from the "Lover's Path" tarot?
...............or, to hedge my bet, is it from the "Goddess" tarot, by the same artist?
still nothing...
hint it's a majors only deck
I know you have several collaborative efforts from Italy. Is this from the 22 Artisti Liguri in 22 Arcani?
weaver
no not
another hint or 2
- Not Italian
- after more than 2 decades still in print
Here's yet another guess inspired by a thread found elsewhere on the Forum. Is this from the Ansata Tarot?
weaver
BlueLotus
19-01-2006, 13:39
Could this clip possibly be from the Gaian Tarot ?
Here's yet another guess inspired by a thread found elsewhere on the Forum. Is this from the Ansata Tarot?

Yes it is!
I had hoped it would have lasted a bit longer.....
Over to you again for the next clip
And here is the entire card it's the emperor from the "Ansata Tarot"

Thanks la-luna! I am surprised to have guessed this one correctly. It was your clues, not the clip itself, that directed my guess.
Well, I'll begin the day with a pretty clip! My last offering here was identified in minutes. Let's see how this one fairs!
Have fun and good luck!
weaver
Don't know the deck, but could this be a 3 of Wands? ;)

No idea yet with one this could be but i get an Asian vibe from it so perhaps the "Tarot of the Journey to the Orient"
Note to self: next time fewer clues

Clues are good, la-luna! They help keep us from getting too frustrated to play the game!
This is not from the Tarot of the Journey of the Orient but your observation of this card is well taken.
This is not a 3 of Wands card, Leo, but the scene shown here sure would make a good one! This clip is from a Minor Arcana card, however, so I'll award a half of a Karma point! :)
Any more guesses?!

(it looks a little like a dragon swimming in the golden waters. but i can't be asked to look at the deck)

Black Dragon
Good guess, Black Dragon, but no. I am not sure what that thing is, but this is not from any deck with a dragon theme.
weaver
for some unknown reason (and ppl knowing how my brains work will totally agree with that statement), the ancestral path tarot came to my mind...
kissa
You have it, Kissa! Congratulations! (I just received this deck yesterday. I got it from the trades section here!)
Here is the entire card...
Over to you, Kissa! :D
oooch! i don't want to win! i cannot win! i am not allowed to win!!!!
but still, i'm happy! :) i really have to use the ancestral path more.
re: the next snippet -> hubby (the real one) still hasn't fixed the relationship problem between my scanner and the computer....
well, i'll try and find something from the internet...
see you in a sec!
kissa
let's see if this one goes...
edited to add: i'll let you have some fun now, it is 0.30am here... i'll check in about 8 hours how you guys are coping, but i'm pretty sure it will have been discovered till then... play nice :D
I think this is the 7 of Wands from the Ferret Tarot! :)
weaver
well well, it looks like a ping pong party between you and me, weaver...
indeed, this is the whimsical self-published (by ATF member HudsonGray) 78 card Ferret Tarot, you even got the card right!!!
congratulations are in order and it's over to you, dear weaver! :)
kissa
indeed, this is the whimsical self-published (by ATF member HudsonGray) 78 card Ferret Tarot, you even got the card right!!!
Thanks, Kissa! I had no idea this deck was created by a fellow ATF member! Another one for the wish list! :laugh:
OK then, on to the next round. Does the image on this new clip look familiar?
Good luck and have fun everyone!
weaver
I just realized it has been 6 hours since I posted my very pretty clip and there has yet to be a single guess put forth. It must be time for a hint or two!
This deck is in print and put out by a big publisher. It is only available as a deck/book set.
Does that help? If needed, would more hints or a larger clip be preferred?
I aim to please! :D
weaver
If I didn't know better I'd say it was the Green Man Tree Oracle...
Perhaps the Druidcraft?
On second thoughts, maybe the Secret Forest...
It is neither of your guesses, Leo but you are warm. This is, as you have guessed, a theme deck.
edited to add: I suppose it goes without saying that my clip differs a bit from the overall look of the deck!
weaver
How about the forest folklore?
Or better yet, the LS fairies? :D
.......and then there are the LS Druids........? :bugeyed:
Sorry, Magpie, this isn't from the Forest Folklore deck nor is it published by LS. All of your guesses are certainly warmish though!
Here is a larger clip. Again, this comes from a theme deck that is only available as a deck/book set. It is a fairly recent arrival, too!
weaver
I know I've seen this...but I haven't dug through decks yet...is it Celtic Wisdom? nevermind...it is not. I was thinking of the 7 adventure of skill...but it's not the right one. drat!

Here is another clue before I pack it in. This deck's artist has done the artwork for two other decks. That said, there is an organic difference between this deck and the other two.
Night all!
weaver
This has got to be the druidcraft!
GeorgiePorgie
21-01-2006, 15:00
This deck is in print and put out by a big publisher. It is only available as a deck/book set.
Is the Druidcraft put out by a big publisher?? I am flicking through my cards and I can't see anything like it, although it is 39 degrees Celcius and I am a bit heat affected.
What about Animals Divine? No, I don't think so, geez I'm hot...I'm melting, I'm melting.......
P.S. Leo62 guessed Druidcraft and weaver said no.
What about Animals Divine? No, I don't think so, geez I'm hot...I'm melting, I'm melting.......
You are not only hot, GP, you are on fire...Would this, then, be a guess?!
weaver
GeorgiePorgie
21-01-2006, 18:44
I am hot (40degrees Celcius here today, sheeeeeeesh) this is a guess, why not!! I did go look at online images but couldn't see this cute little critter. But based on your clues this is what I came up with.
I shall do it formally:
Weaver, is this Animals Divine? :)

Edited to say, I am off to beddy byes now, so will be back in 9 or so hours to see if:
a./ anyone has won
or
b./ I need to give hints or clues.
Oh my gosh, I know this one! (I have been really getting lucky in this game lately!) I'll be pretty busy today so am going to sit this one out. Still, I look forward to seeing who will get this one first! :)
weaver
Looks familiar (perhaps even in my collection)
the yellow makes me think of th "Old English"
Chronata
22-01-2006, 01:18
Hmmm...makes me think of the POMO for some reason.
But that can't be it...can it?
GeorgiePorgie
22-01-2006, 05:18
Not the Pomo or the Old English.
Wanna see a bigger clip? Ok A bigger bit (http://www.img2host.info/img/Jan21B.jpg).
Nigel Jackson's tarot, re-titled Medieval Enchantment. The Magician card, I think.
Yes, this is an official guess!
GeorgiePorgie
22-01-2006, 10:45
Yes Magpie!! You are right, and I am relieved (hope this posts) my internet is seriously spacy today and not just Aeclectic, all over the place, getting timed out all the time. Grrrr!
Anyway here is the full clip Juggler.jpg (http://www.img2host.info/img/MA01Juggler.jpg)
Over to you...
And here's my offering....
GeorgiePorgie
22-01-2006, 11:31
I get it, I get it!! Its the nothing card from Osho Zen.
ROFLMAO - Magpie come back!! Add an attachment! Magpie? Magpiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
GeorgiePorgie
22-01-2006, 11:32
LOL, thanks Magpie (I swear there was nothing there before folks)
....I'm thinking maybe we ought to take up a little collection to help with GeorgiePorgie's mental health expenses.....:bugeyed:
GeorgiePorgie
22-01-2006, 14:40
Hey! I resemble that remark....:laugh: (In my defence current temp = 41 Celcius)
I have no idea what the clip is - something gothicy?
The tempeture is hot, but you are cold.
No doubt I am cold, too, but might this be from the Secret Tarot by LoS?
weaver
Ice cold my dear........that deck is mass market, and this one isn't. But do try again.......})
I wonder why I typically play this game when I DON'T know the identity of the deck and often sit back to let others play when I do?! I think I need to rethink my approach!
Anyway, this is a great clip, Magpie. I am so sure I have seen this card somewhere. I am just hoping I don't own the deck! :laugh:
edited to add: Is this deck currently available?
weaver
Very astute, weaver. It is not currently available, according to Tarot Gardens database and its Tarot Passages review.
Hmmm.............18 views, and no guesses in the last 6 hours. Looks like time to post a new snippet.
See if this helps any...
OakDragon
23-01-2006, 11:29
*raises hand*
Oooooooo, I know, I know, I know!!!
It's the "Gothic Laurel Birch Cat Tarot of the Pacific Northwest Peoples"!
:eek: What's that you say? Detention?! See you after class??? No way! My Mom will freak!!!
Thanks for the laugh, OakDragon! :laugh:
This one has me stumped!
weaver
This definitely looks vampiric...I'm going to guess Vampire Tarot...even though I'm fairly certain that's not it...this is a toughie!
Sorry keigh, no vampires here......and, Oakie, it looks really Pacific Northwest to me too in this card, but the deck as a whole isn't. Weaver, I suspect you have this deck, being a collector and all.
Hmmmmm.......this deck is published by the artist in a limited edition, and there was quite a lot of flap and drool about it here on ATF around a year and a half ago....
Care to guess again???
Well here I go all droopy off to bed.....I'll check in here in the (my) morning, and if no one has solved it will either post more snippet or another clue. G'Night, all!
No idea (yet) with deck this could be but i thinks it's a devil's card?
Hi Mags,
I think the Forum is playing some funny tricks again. Your latest larger bit was just there and now it isn't. I am experiencing what GeorgiePorgie did yesterday but in reverse! :bugeyed:
(That said, I still have no clue as to what this deck might be!)
weaver
Take another look.....I posted the wrong bit, unposted it and then posted he right bit. sorry for the confusion. this one will stay put.
Care to take a wild guess?
Take another look.....I posted the wrong bit, unposted it and then posted he right bit. sorry for the confusion. this one will stay put.
Care to take a wild guess?I think I liked the first one better!!! :D
I just can't think of any deck to guess, especially based upon your hints thus far. Still, I have a funny feeling that you think I own this one which is a disconcerting thought!
weaver
What a minute...I just had a flash...Is this from Tarot of the Crone?!
weaver
Ah, weaver~I knew I could depend on you! It is the Magician from Tarot of the Crone!!
...........do you have it??
I WORKED for that one, Magpie! (Great clip, BTW!) Ironically, what proved to be the correct answer just came to me out of the blue. I kept thinking your clip looked familiar but just couldn't remember where I'd seen it! Every deck I considered didn't fit your other clues.
To answer your question, I don't own Tarot of the Crone but once had the opportunity to look at some of the deck's cards while attending a class at Omega. It is certainly a powerful deck!
OK then, we are on to another round! Be assured, dear players, that unlike the Tarot of the Crone, there are more than 100 copies of this deck knocking around! :laugh:
weaver
I'm glad you liked it--I would have mentioned there were only 100 copies......sooner or later..})
hmmmmm looks celtic or no viking could this be the viking tarot ?
hmmmmm looks celtic or no viking could this be the viking tarot ?
Good guess la-luna, but no it isn't. This deck has neither a celtic or viking theme, though individual cards in it might.

Hi Chronata and gregory! This isn't one of those manga decks nor is it the Druidcraft (though I think it IS a pretty deck, too!).

Black dragon
26-01-2006, 01:03
Well if i expand it it seems to become too pixelated. but it does seem to of shrunk since i originally placed it there. hmm, oh well. couple of guesses (or 40 mins whichever comes first) then i'll place a "bit" bigger pic.
And not the pixel tarot :P
Edited: Been playing around with the clip. got it back up to the size i had it before. lets see if it stays this time.

The Minors are illustrated (i.e. not just Pip's)
Is in print.

NOTHING???he stares at it in amazement. has my computer stopped working, as it appears not a single guess. I've lasted the night Woo-hoo:D finally lotz longer than 10 mins and it only took four attempt:D
Oh well lets give it away with a simple enlargement. (p.s. i think there can be seen a little more on the bottom of the third pic, but i didn't do that one on my comp so i havn't got it here)

Sorry no more clues, as i don't know too much about giving (or using when others have given) clues, and the only other ones i can think of would give it away, so i'm sticking to enlargements you shold know it with this one.

Robin Wood Death
Yep, Congrats, I tried using a deck i was hoping people would think to common to think about. And knew that as soon as the red would be touched it would be guessed.
http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1899/2501064rl.jpg
p.s. the other clue i wasn't sure of would be saying it's a llewellyn deck, would that have been too big a clue?
Your up Georgie.

Try this one (http://www.img2host.info/img/Jan26A.jpg) :)
P.S. when I saw the butterfly Robin Wood didnt even occur to me, it was the red and the better view of the trees...
Hmmm first deck that comes to mind would be"tarocco delle vetrate" aka "Stained-Glass Windows Tarot" ??? could it be that easy ???

26-01-2006, 18:41
Is that like a record, a 30 second round? Stunning (http://www.img2host.info/img/PentaclesQueen.jpg) La-luna..Obviously it could be, and was, that easy.
Ok not that surprising just a case of coincidence i did a reading with that deck yesterday so it was fresh in my mind….. but I was fast !!!!
So let's see how long this one will last……and good luck to you all you will perhaps need it i think })

Is this from the Apple Tarot?
weaver
No not at all
but feel free to try some more
OK, one more guess before getting productive here. I think this is way too obvious, but might this be from the Tarot of the Dead?

I'm pretty sure I've never seen this card, at least not in RL, since I don't have many decks (or friends who have :)). But I'd love to post a clip so I'll launch some random guesses! ;)
I've a funny feeling this might be from a Chariot or High Priest card... is it?
Anna~
Edited to say: I mean an EMPEROR card not High Priest...

Aaaaah but I knew those were fingers... but no I still haven't seen the card before... :( will have to bide my time with this thread. Hmm... is it a court card? Just in case...
The hints so far
- themed
- OOP
- this card is a majors but deck has 78 cards

Oh I'll have one more go then, if you say it's major... the Devil? (I know I'm supposed to guess the deck, but since it's not within my reach AND oop I'd have a hard time looking through online pictures of ALL cards of possible decks... :))
I don't know the deck...but I'm guessing a magician or high priestess for the card...very tricky la luna!
It might possibly be a Judgment card, too. I have no idea what deck it it's from, though! (It looks a little like it might have been from the Cosmic Tarot but that deck isn't OOP. :bugeyed:)

Wow, that is an interesting view on a temperance card, it looks a lot more like a judgement card to me, is the rest of the deck like it?

The whole deck is full of interesting cards with sometimes nice twists on a theme and this around the norse gods sagas and legends

Well, here is my contribution everyone.
This will probably be an easy one (IMHO) , but let's see how it goes . . .
I have been to busy to look, but is this from the Stone Tarot?

It sure is the Stone Tarot weaver. Your turn next. I wish you a happy time deciding upon an image . . .
Here is the whole card ( The Chariot, VII )
Here is a funny little one to begin the day. Lightening round, perhaps?! :laugh:
weaver
Not entirely awake yet but the first thing that comes to my (fogy) mind is "Niki de St Phalle tarot”?
Not entirely awake yet but the first thing that comes to my (fogy) mind is "Niki de St Phalle tarot”?No, but there are one or two aspects of your guess that put it in the "warm" category! Any other ideas?
(Now where is that expresso maker?! Back later to see if there are any more guesses!)
weaver
Ok I thought of the “New tarot” by Hurley it’s the only deck that I own that comes near it…..
If it’s not that one I assume it will be one that hasn’t reached my little collection yet
I don't think you do have this one, la-luna. Here is a hint though, it is a Majors only deck.
I'll be gone for a few hours but will be online again later this afternoon to see if anyone has guessed this correctly.
weaver
Here is a larger clip! Again, this is a Majors only deck. The deck, but not this card, is featured on the Tarot Garden site.

Sorry, Keigh, it is not.
As a final hint for the day, this deck is published in France and is in print.

I am too busy to play today but had to write to inquire how on earth you guessed that last one, la-luna! Looking at the clip I couldn't even make out what it was I was seeing!
I am dazzled!!!! :laugh:
weaver
Well I don't know myself how I did it so fast it must be a combination of the following elements
- I saw an "Egyptian eye" with an yellow pupil surrounded by flashy colours and I’m very sensible with colours
- I have this deck in my collection
- I listen to my subconscious voice with I also use when working with my decks

I rather liked Leo's guesses! :D
weaver
OK Let's try this...
Is this the Pythagorean Tarot?
(In the oddball event this guess is correct, would anyone be willing to step up and take this round? Perhaps you, Leo? Computer access is going to be difficult for me today. I am sharing the computer formerly known as "mine" with my husband. :()

Well to your surprise IT IS the Pythagorean

Weaver - unless someone else wants to step in, I'll post a card just before I go offline in about 20 mins :) But then I'll be away from the computer for a few hours so y'all will have to suffer in silence...})
OK - in honour of weaver, here's the next round :)
No guesses? OK here's a bit more. This is a mainstream, in-print 78-card themed deck. ;)
Hi, Leo! Thanks again for posting this challenge! (I actually have access to "my" computer for a little while but it won't last long!)
I don't know what deck this clip is from is but it sure is pretty! (Where is my thinking cap...:laugh:)

Not the Gaian or the Forest Folklore...this deck has (I think) been around longer than either of those. }) Here's some more:

Thank you, Leo! What a great card! Do you like the deck? In looking over clips from it, I think I would a lot....
weaver - the Legend is one of my favourite decks; beautiful, gentle and feminine without being "cutesy". The book that comes with it - "A Keeper of Words" - is very good too. My only criticism is that the cards are a little too small to show up some of the detail in the paintings.
As for your clip - is it the Old English?

Hi Anna! Thanks so much for posting here! If, as the clip's image has a chance to settle in a bit, you have a flash of insight as to a possible identity of the deck, regardless of how far fetched the guess might seem to you, do post your guess! Some of what I have thought at the time were my most "off the wall" guesses have ended up being correct! Plus, incorrect guesses help narrow the field for everyone. Two rounds ago, Leo guessed two decks which were decks I would have guessed for the clip in question, too, except didn't because her guesses had already been shot down by la-luna.
At the end of the day, this game is just supposed to be fun for everyone. If a clip looks kind of like a deck you have seen, go ahead and give it a shot!
weaver
As for your clip - is it the Old English?
Thanks for your insights regarding Legend. I think I have another one for my wish list! :D
This isn't from the Old English (which IS on my wish list, BTW!). The deck this clip come from was published after that deck was.

Arh but it's the being around for the follow up thats the prob with me so if i'm guessing it can only be in the morning time, +it's monthly report time at work :(
p.s. not making guess as it's nearly time to leave all you wonderful people, but it does look very familiar, i'd say it looks like a clip from a card that has already been posted at some point, but that could have been many months ago. so no real clue.

I don't know about how others feel, but I think it is OK to ask another person to "pitch hit" for the period(s) you are not able to play. That was what I did last round. Leo graciously stepped up to bat for me. We can always continue play and wait for the entire clip to be posted when doing so is convenient for the player in question. After all, even those of us who don't have jobs outside of the home can not be available all the time. :)

You beat me to it, Leo62---I really think it's lover's path, too. But if you're right I'm lucky--I have to go off to work today!

Oh my gosh! This is the Quest Fool card. It's funny I didn't get this one right off. This is one of my favorite Fool cards and the reason I traded for the deck!

Yeah gregory, I might - and I've still got two undiscovered decks lying around! Anyway I keep guessing. I have not an inkling of what deck this pizza thing (:D @OakDragon) is, but the style reminds me of Van Gogh paintings a bit (just a bit). I'll have a go at the card though, to make the search easier: is this the 6 of Wands (or whatever they're called in this deck)?

So... I think this deck may be little known because the English version appeared only two years ago. The cards are rather large.

Here is the entire lovely card and now you, dear la-luna, get to "lead the troops" again! :laugh:

Wow to my own surprise that was fast !!
I seem to get beter at this

LOL, I am back. I surprised myself with that guess.
On to a New Round (http://www.img2host.info/img/Feb05A.jpg) then!
not sure at all but is it "Legend the arturian tarot" ?
GeorgiePorgie
06-02-2006, 05:49
Hi la-luna, no it isn't...
I'm guessing everyone is busy with their weekend (or Monday depending on where you live) so I will be back with a bigger bit a little later.
This reminds me of the artwork of Lisa Hunt. In that we just had a clip from the Animals Divine deck, I am wondering if it might be from either the Celtic Dragon or Shapeshifter deck?
weaver
GeorgiePorgie
06-02-2006, 06:23
Hi Weaver,
Nothing by Lisa Hunt.
ain't that from the druidcraft?
kissa
edited to add: nope sorry, just checked: the fish on the five of cups is in the other direction in the druidcraft...
GeorgiePorgie
06-02-2006, 08:49
Hi Kissa, like you already worked out, is not the Druidcraft.
Here's a bit more (http://www.img2host.info/img/Feb05B.jpg).
GeorgiePorgie
06-02-2006, 14:30
Clue?
It's a court card...
Is this from a deck that is currently in print?
weaver
GeorgiePorgie
07-02-2006, 05:57
Hi Weaver,
As far as I know it is readily available on Amazon as well as other online places. It is shown on Aeclectics deck page (though not this card).
Back with a larger pic a little later on (she says grabbing her bag and heading out the door) but keep guessing, peoples!!
Is it the Legend: Arthurian Tarot?
GeorgiePorgie
07-02-2006, 15:32
Hi Tabi, no it isn't.
GeorgiePorgie
07-02-2006, 15:53

It looks so sweet and innocent is it the Fairytale tarot ?
something by kris waldherr? goddess tarot?
GeorgiePorgie

Nope and Nope. Is anyone sick of this round yet? Sick of me?

07-02-2006, 18:30
Georgie,
could it be the Celtic Tarot by Justin De Burgh? I like this round, you seem to have even la-luna stumped ;) (And really, some day I will get to know aaaaall the decks on Aeclectic by heart...!)

GP, Is this image from a Majors'-only deck, such as Ansata perhaps ?It can't be a Majors only deck because GP said this is a Court Card.
I am looking forward to someone guessing this one. The clip is so pretty. I am really curious as to what deck it is from!

It's not the Mythic is it?
I don't know the deck...but wonder if it's the Knight of Cups?
BlueLotus
08-02-2006, 00:39
Although this deck is probably out-of-print, I thought I may as well throw in my 2 cents; is it the Arthurian Tarot, aka the Hallowquest ?
Annabelle
08-02-2006, 01:17
I know it was mentioned that this isn't a Celtic-themed deck . . . but it sure does look like it's from the Merlin tarot . . .
GeorgiePorgie
08-02-2006, 05:39
It's not the Mythic is it?
It REALLY is!! Thanks for all the other guesses (while I was sleeping) but Leo has it.
Keigh was right about it being a Knight of Cups, btw.

Black Dragon
Great guessing weaver! :eek:
Over to you...
BTW, what do people think of this deck? I'm quite tempted by it...
Thanks Leo! I, too, have been interested in the Forest Folklore deck because I simply adore some of the cards in the deck (including the one you selected to use here). Especially the Moon card that features two dogs that look a lot like our pooches! This sort of thing is subjective, of course, but I think I have decided that I don't like enough of the deck's images to acquire it. Still, I'll also be interested to hear the thoughts of anyone that actually works with the Forest Folklore!
Shifting gears, on to a brand new round! I hope you enjoy this challenge! :)
weaver
I don't know what this is, weaver, but I'll take a potshot...Ancestral Path?
don't know what that is but i want it. seriously. weaver, i am out of the game and promise NOT to give anybody any clue but could you tell me by PM what this stunning deck is ???????

That is a great guess, la-luna, but it isn't Transformational. (I am looking forward the the US Games edition being published, though!)
weaver
BTW, what do people think of this deck? I'm quite tempted by it...I have this deck and like it but not as much as i like most of my other decks. Partly, I think it has to do with the little red Imps (they look like little demons) on all the swords cards. I somehow find that this makes the swords suit harder to read. Why are they on all the cards and not just some? They are disconcerting and distracting for me. I have used it for intuitive readings and it is much better for that than book readings....There is some beautiful artwork as well...all watercolors and soft. Book meanings are not "tied" to RWS though many are similar.
Hope that helps!
Keigh
One card I really love in the Forest Folklore deck is the Moon card because the dogs in it look so much like our two dogs. I doubt I'll ever purchase the deck, but might try to access it in a trade just for that card!

ok a new guess from me is it the "The Hero's Journey" by Arnell Ando ?
Nice image weaver.
I wonder if it's from the Artist's Inner Vision deck ?
It is indeed, BlueLotus, congratulations!!!!
La luna, you were really close with both of your guesses because Arnell is a contributor to this deck!
Keigh, if you end up ordering this deck because of this round, you'll be the second one do do so. Kissa ordered it yesterday! :laugh:
Well, anyway, here is the complete card. I think it is a rather nice depiction of the 2 of Swords. Over to you, BlusLotus!

I honestly didn't expect to win, as this was just a 'wild' guess, and I never got around to adding this deck to my collection. Well, maybe some day I will . . .
I will be right back with my snippet.

I had been meaning to post this 'snippet' for a while, but since I was not lucky enough to win lately, it was put on hold.
As far as I am concerned, I don't think this deck was featured here any time in the near past.
Here goes, wishing everyone happy hunting
A lot of wild guesses are bouncing around in my head, but I'll start out by guessing that it might be the Self Guided Tarot.

The Hermit's my favourite card from that deck! My Cosmic Tribe has just taken up residence in a new bag - an astounding psychadelic print in all the primary colours, with a six-colour matching cord and string of funky beads ending in a pentacle with Zuni bears and a thunderbird on. It seems pretty happy!
Here's a deck that I don't think I've seen in the game before, so it'll either be a lightning round or y'all need some clues!

Hello folks,
hey what a coincidence - as I said before I hardly know six decks well enough to hazard guesses, but I recently came across the Phoenix Tarot and thought that I was going to use it myself after my next lucky guess...! ;) Well, and lucky too that the World card is one of those shown on the Aeclectic website under Phoenix Tarot.

I have a mix of lavender and peppermint oil with menthol that's meant to cool your forehead and give some relief, but it tends to make my eyes water! Best thing to do, I find, is lie down in a quiet, dark room until the pain and nausea go away. It's cleared this morning, but I still feel a bit groggy.
As for your clip, SotS, it looks very familiar! I do find that every bit posted in this thread looks familiar, so that isn't really much help! ;) Looks a bit like water or part of a wing.

Tabby - sympathies from a fellow sufferer. :) The thing that worked best for me is a pressure point recommended to me by a Shiatsu practitioner. If you press down in the gap between your thumb and forefinger, and hold the pressure there, it may help relieve the nausea and also the pain of the headache. It works brilliantly for me - in fact, if I catch it early enough, it can fend off an attack altogether. This is the ONLY thing that has ever really worked for me, as I can never keep down painkillers and the smell of oils or anything like that just makes the nausea worse.
As for the clip... :bugeyed: ...can't even hazard a guess.

One of OH's internet harem (he seems to be in contact with lots of women in all four corners of the globe, most of whom are called Debbie. His excuse is that women chat more than men and have more interesting things to say!) had a piercing there with a ring through the skin web and claimed it stopped her headaches. When it grew out - like eyebrows and tongues they do, apparently, even if you keep the ring/stud in place - her migraines came back.
As for this clip, I'm sure I ought to know it! I keep kicking myself to jog the memory, but it's not helping!
I find a bag of frozen peas to the back of the neck helps. And you must lie down while you do it. And make damn sure it is properly sealed. Clearing up loose peas afterwards does nothing to speed recovery ! Sadly, I know this.....
Also, at the very first hint (that niggly thing I get - do you ? - where things look slightly wiggly in the middle of your eye - or whatever your very first inkling is) I take a couple of Nurofen and use that great stick 4head, available in Boots, Asda, etc.

Though this deck is not listed on your profile, I imagine you likely own it or have owned it...

Still no guesses?! I must admit that I am surprised! I thought this was a clip that would likely be identified right away!
Here is more of the card. Note that this deck is widely reviewed but somewhat hard to find despite still being in print.

So many views , but not one single guess.
Time for more of it and a few hints.
This deck is in-print ( according to Tarotgarden ) although barely known around here with only a handful of people owning it ( I think ), but it is available , probably not so much in the US , since it is published by a European publisher ( not LS ) well over a couple of decades ago.
The Cards are not the regular size, and the names on each card is written in three different languages, including English.
This is a court card although the name is not a RWS clone, but most of the order and meanings of the cards are pretty close; moreover, there is something different about this deck that makes it quite unique .
Here's a bigger one ( More time to download, so bear with me ) :!:

Well, BlueLotus, I have absolutely no idea. But I will definitely have a good close look at this deck as soon as I know where to find it - the clip is marvellous!
Meanwhile, let's guess around a bit... are the other two languages on the cards French and German, by any chance? Is this something like the Queen of Orbs (or Pentacles respectively)? And it's not from Koenigsfurt Verlag either. Right?
I'll keep digging... I love this clip!

Yes Anna for your first inquiry.
As for the second one, no, this is not the Queen in this deck.
I am not sure what Koenigsfurt Verlag stands for, but I assume it is a name of a deck. If so, then it is not it.
You are welcome for more information, if you just ask ;)
skinofthesoul
17-02-2006, 19:45
Oh sorry BlueLotus, I should have said. "Verlag" is German for "publisher" and Koenigsfurt have a fine selection of tarot decks in their range, many from LoScarabeo but some others as well, like the Margarete Petersen Tarot. But they're not the publishers, then.
You say it's "not the Queen", I take that to mean that it would be the Queen in another deck but the name is different. Is that right? If so... hmm, maybe this deck goes for the family depiction so it would be the Mother?
And was I right with the assumption of the Earth suit - orbs, pentacles, coins, balls, or whatever it's called?
Still haven't found anything likely enough for even a random guess...

Well, Anna, this deck is not published by a German publisher. Try again.
And this card although not a Queen in this deck, is a Princess, aka Page in most other decks, and yes it is an Earth suit, aka Disks in this deck, the deck being rather Thoth based in the most.
The Major's names are pretty much traditional except for four of them, and the Minors are unillustrated pips.

I appreciate that. My time for forum fun has been, alas, all too scarce lately.

Interesting clip! I truly have no idea. Looks like someone riding a bicycle, and the art looks digitally enhanced. But no decks come immediately to mind....
WEIRD clip. It does look like a pedal.....
It's not my ISP, it's my *%(^&*^(***^&$% phone line. It crackles a lot - and every time it does, even a pop, the connection drops. You think playing this game is a problem - on-line banking is really scary... I am having to do it at work (with permission; my visits here are less overt !)

Annabelle: you are pretty much spot-on with your assessment. Remove the charcter string "ly enhanced" from your post, and you'd be 100%.

The first clip is sort of atypical of the rest of the deck's theme .
Here's a larger one, but in case it still remains an enigma, I will start dropping a few hints every now and then or as requested .
ace of cups i presume? collage deck?
BlueLotus
18-02-2006, 20:15
ace of cups i presume? collage deck?
It is indeed a collage deck and the card is ace of cups. Karma points for you :thumbsup:
Let me add in this context that my deck has gone out-of-print after being published twice; once by a famous publisher.
Although this deck comes with no accompanying book by the original artists, a tarot grand master has authored one, but since has also gone out-of-print .
It's The "Tarot Universal Dali"

Great guess, and yes it is indeed the Tarot Universal Dali. I wonder if you got it from my last clue :!:
Below is the entire Ace of Cups card from that deck, .

Well the clue about the book did it: in a flash I knew what is was, but for security I still checked and yes it was!!!

hmmm interesing clip don't know why but i'm thinking major arcana perhaps the empress.
as for your phone line perhaps the saga will end soon (hopefully for you) it has been going on for quite enough, and each time you wrote about it I remembered the time when the phone line system was updated in my region even a simple phone call was impossible grrrr and then from one day to another when I had given up hope of thing ever going back to normal…..

This is not a clip from the Fairy tarot, is it gregory?
It is a major, but not the Empress. It is not the Fairy.
At least I gather we are getting compensation (when it is all fixed) on the basis of NO phone service since it was first reported (before Christmas :D) - this because we have to pay our ISP of course - that's a contract and it isn't their fault, so although we can (usually) make voice calls, being on line is very dodgy.
I have missed this game - but we do stand to do quite well out of it in the end ..... :P
I just hope if someone guesses it, we don't run into BIG trouble - it occurs to me I am off work next week ! :eek:
Oh gregory, how nice to "see" you, and your charming squirrel as well. Is it a LoS deck?
I like squirrels.... Happy Squirrel.... !!
Nope, not LS. (Rule out about half the collection !)
Nothing recently ? I am going to bed now - so here is a bigger bit to keep you busy through the night ! If nothing is coming to your little minds by breakfast I will post - a CLUE !
I can't imagine this guess will be correct but the clip's background really reminds me of the Der Jen Tarot. Might this clip be from that deck?
weaver
Is it from the Forest Folklore deck? It's got that sort of watercolor feel to it.....and a little bit cute, besides.
It might be the der Jen, but it isn't. It isn't the Forest Folklore either. And I am beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable.... I haven't yet found the image on line; I was so sure it would be....
I will say: There are two possible answers to this, as the deck was first published in Europe in 2001 (there's a nice thing to research, peeps !) under another name, and then republished..... I will accept either answer. (Well, I'd have to !!!)
And here is a bigger clip.
For the purpose of clarity, do you mean that you haven't been able to find an image from the deck online, or are you referring to the card?
weaver
Assuming the deck is reviewed online, is it, perhaps, the Tarot of Eden?
weaver
I meant an image of the card, and yes indeed it is (praise the lord......) Congratulations.
The Hanged Man. A rather good image, I think. Poor squirrel.... no nuts on that tree - well, not in the usual sense.... })
Here you go and over to you, weaver.
Thank you, gregory! It's great seeing you here again! You have been missed! :love: Don't worry about possibly losing your internet connection. If you win and don't reply to guesses right away, we will all know to sit tight!
Well, on to a new round! Have fun, all!
weaver
Oh dear! It has been 6 hours since I posted the latest clip and thus far there have been no guesses. Let's see...I'll give a few hints first and post a larger clip later today if there isn't a correct guess.
This deck is very popular and is in print. It would be my bet that a good number of you own this one and that everyone playing this game has at least seen online images of some of the deck's cards.

Catlin, it's not the Gilded, but I can see why you might think it was. And Leo62 . . . count again, and I think you'll find that there are 6 pentacles in the most recent clip :). (Edited to add - Argh! Actually, 7 pentacles - I can't count today, apparently!)
I'm going to toss out another clue . . . this deck is only available as part of a set with a book. Also, not only is it NOT a U.S. Games deck, it is also NOT a Llewellyn deck.
Is it a AGMüller deck then?

I take it that you do not own this deck, but probably found some images online.
I did like this deck a lot, in fact I drooled over it for a long time before I got it and after I started reading with it.
The majors and some court cards are gorgeous, but later the androgynous figures got to me. The accompanying book is not an easy read, to say the least. But I keep this deck for collection purposes and to look at the artwork once in a while.
i get an asian vibe from this clip ist it the "Tarot of the Journey to the Orient" ?
Sorry la luna, it isn't. Though I hadn't noticed it before, this clip does have an Asian look to it! That said, there isn't really anything Asian about this deck.
(Thanks for your thoughts on the Navigators deck, BlueLotus! You are right, I don't own the deck. I guessed it last round because of the colors found in your clip.)

Excellent guess, skinofthesoul, but no, it isn't. Though this deck does not have a Native American theme, it IS deeply rooted to the earth in the way I imagine the Vision Quest deck likely is. Also, the deck my clip comes from was published after the Vision Quest deck.
Do you have any other guesses?!

I am going to be signing off for the evening so I thought I'd leave a couple of hints before doing so. The suits and cards in this deck have been renamed. Also, it is only available as a book/deck set.

Well, good greif. Either you all lhave much more interesting wekends than I do (..not really difficult...) OR I've come up with a real stumper. so here's a bigger pix, and more clues.
Clue: Theme Deck - Mass Market - Published this Century - 78 Cards- this pix on the Web Site.
How about a few guesses, gang? It's getting lonely out here...
Hello knitting granny, old thing. I recognise this. I just have no immediate idea what it is and it has been such a bitch getting on line today I couldn't be bothered to fight for it !!! (also I owed some study stuff and some readings ....)
But don't be lonely, sweety; you have just baffled us ! THat's CLEVER !
Does it have sort of alchemical leanings ??? (me trying to say something sensible here...) Shall go check database for things published this century (do you include the year 2000 as THIS century or last LOL ! :( :confused:
2000 is this century, wicked Granny, and I don't see this deck as particulary alchemical. There is a fairly faint astrological connection, if you push it pretty hard. })
BTW, you have it. I checked. :D
...........................all guesses welcome......
Magpie - I reeeeelly haven't a clue! *flails around* Is it a Strength card?

I've got absolutely no idea - didn't have any idea about the last couple of rounds either, but this one has me really flummoxed. I did look on the deck page but thats a bit like looking in the dictionary to see how to spell a unknown word (where do you start?)....
LEO 62
It's not a strength card, it is a major. The lions are just kinda hanging out being misleading. :D
BIG CLUE:
You not only don't have this deck, you don't have any decks that start with the first letter of this deck.
I did look on the deck page but thats a bit like looking in the dictionary to see how to spell a unknown word (where do you start?)....
With the Alphabet.

Hmm... the colors look about right...
Is this the Babylonian Tarot?
For some reason, I get a Thoth kind of feeling with this. Could it be the Intuitive Tarot?
Hmm... the colors look about right...

YAAAAAY OAKIE!! You Got It!
It's the Moon from the very-recently-out Babylonian tarot--and here's the whole card....

Perusing the decklists of regulars to this thread, I am shocked to find that Annabelle and gregory apparently do not own this deck! I would think it would be right up their alley, though. (That's more of a clue than it sounds! }))
However, at least one regular DOES own this deck (and it's not me! :P)
Well I don't think it's me either. Is it the Feng Shui (sp)? It seems to be either oriental or Celtic.....
Or it could be the Courthey Davis Celtic Tarot....yes, that's a guess!
OakDragon
02-03-2006, 07:26
Sorry, magpie, that's not it. Keep guessing! :)
Can we have a bigger clip please? ;) I can't believe that gregory doesn't own it...surely some mistake! })
OakDragon
02-03-2006, 07:52
Ooops... it turns out gregory does have it. I goofed. Sorry. I wish the Mad Granny would alphabetize her deck list... or at least sort it somehow! :( :P

Ok, here.... how's that?

Since my one "clue" so far fell flat on its face, I'll give another. This is a limited edition deck from the '70's.

Ooops... it turns out gregory does have it. I goofed. Sorry. I wish the Mad Granny would alphabetize her deck list... or at least sort it somehow! :( :P
It IS alphabetised. Numbers come first. Then names. Some may not be where you expect because (e.g.) Marseilles decks hang best as a group.... and I moved a couple after complaints that they should be called something else and so on...
Ed: Caramba. I see my latest update wasn't. I am fixing it right now..... (a couple to add anyway !)
70s. Hm. And I was just going to bed.
In that case it has to be the Tarocchino of Menegazzi - Ace Swords. And I shall go to bed now.
Ed: Oh rats - Jeannette was typing while I went up to check it and fixing my profile on the side. Never mind - less effort for MOI !

Here's the full card.
Jeannette
02-03-2006, 09:14
Actually, Oakie, I was perusing the latest posts, but didn't get it until your clue about the deck being a limited edition from the 70s.
Wow. Now the responsibility falls on my shoulders, eh? Okie-dokey... back in a few with a new round.

Okie, kind of a toughie here, maybe. I haven't checked profiles, but if more than one or two other people out there owns this deck, I'd be surprised.
However, despite the scarcity of owners, it seems to be one that has a relatively high profile, based on the number of inquiries we get about it. The first clip will probably be trickier than later ones, if the round lasts that long.
Good luck!

OH GAKKK!
this is soo familiar--something about the outline borders....it's like having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your brain...
However-for Karma Points, I think it's the Hermit.
Jeannette
02-03-2006, 11:07
It's not the "Peanut Butter on the Brain" tarot, mags... but you indeed nab the karma points for IDing the card.
-- Jeannette
The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
Looks a bit William Blake-ish, though the colours don't seem quite right....
(I guess that's a guess ;))
It does look familiar............. it's the colours...........
When you say you'd be surprised if many owned it - is/was it a limited edition then ???
Looks a bit William Blake-ish, though the colours don't seem quite right....
(I guess that's a guess ;))
Doesn't look quite detailed enough, to me........
The colours, is it Albano-Waite?
Jeannette
02-03-2006, 23:15
Hi, Folks!
Sorry for the delay -- I meant to post another clip before going to bed last night, but then got so tired, I forgot!
OK, the story so far:
Sorry, Leo -- not the Blake.
Catlin: Not the Albano-Waite, but that's what I would have guessed if I didn't already know what it was! The artwork in that portion of the clip seemed very "Pixie-ish" to me.
gregory: Limited edition, yes. Not an ultra-ultra-low run -- but smaller than your typical il Meneghello limited edition release (OK, that's a clue... it's not from a Meneghello deck).
Larger clip attached for those who care to take another shot at it.

Is it an Asian themed deck?
Jeannette
02-03-2006, 23:29
Is it an Asian themed deck?
Hmmm... believe it or not, that's a bit of a tricky question to answer.
I guess I'll put it this way: I don't find the illustrations of the deck to be particularly evocative of any Asian culture.
-- Jeannette
The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
So the deck claims to be Asian inspired?
Jeannette
02-03-2006, 23:54
So the deck claims to be Asian inspired?
Oh, now you're going to make me get out my Kaplan III and look something up... LOL!
Um... okay. I just looked it up to get some clarification. And your question still falls in a "gray area." Let's say this: the deck includes some ideas which were taken from a particular Asian spiritual philosophy.
How's that for being helpful and obsfucating at the same time?
-- Jeannette
The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
MMMM not really asian-themed or inspired but could it be the "Angel Tarot" by the Angel Playing Card Company ?
Jeannette
03-03-2006, 00:00
Sorry -- not the Angel Tarot, la-luna. But a good guess, based on the clues thus far.
I'll be leaving shortly for my morning DDR workout (I go over to a friend's house... it's more fun to do with a friend!), but will check the thread for guesses when I get back. If no one's pegged it by then, I'll post more hints and/or another clip.

The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
Jeannette
03-03-2006, 02:18
Not the Phoenix Tarot, catlin. But I would say that there's definitely stylistic similarities. Both have a very "geometric" feel, I think -- although the Phoenix Tarot's is more "angular."
Hint time: in addition to being a limited edition, this deck (like the Phoenix Tarot) was self-published by the artist. That ought to narrow the field quite a bit. If it's not enough to bring forth a winner, however, I'll post a larger clip in a few hours.

Apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I did try earlier, but apparently the forums were offline for some reason. At least, I couldn't get the site to load up here for a while.
Anyway, here's a much bigger chunk o' the card. If folks don't get it from this clip, then I'll have to resort to REALLY BIG HINTS, I guess. I'm not sure expanding the clip much beyond what I have here (which is shown at about 4x actual size, BTW) will elucidate things any further on its own.
Good luck!

Wow, weaver... what timing! You were obviously posting while I was fighting with the image upload ('twas a hair too big the first time I tried it).
Yes, indeedy -- we're lookin' at the Kashmir Tarot "Hermit" card (actually called "The Pilgrim" in this deck). I'll get a scan of the whole card prepped and posted in a moment.
In the meantime, you can mull over which deck you'll be teasing us with next, weaver!

Thanks, Jeannette! Despite all of your really great hints, I had to work for that one!
Well, for this round, let's try something different. Does this one look familiar?! (This is an in print, mass produced deck. :))
weaver
Is it the tarot of the mermaids?
Good morning! Though they are both good guesses, this isn't from the Tarot of the Mermaids or Tarot of Paris. I believe this deck would be considered a bit darker than either of those are.
weaver
Gothic Tarot by Varga?
Sorry, catlin, it is not, but you are certainly getting warmer!
weaver
It isn't Vertigo, but it is the Devil from Luis Royo's, Black Tarot! Congratulations, Leo! :)
Here is the complete card. Take it away, Leo!!!! :laugh:
weaver
Wow I never expected to win that one! Thanks for the PM weaver :)
OK try this one for size. Fairly new mainstream deck...
GeorgiePorgie
04-03-2006, 06:23
Druidcraft? Actually now I don't even believe it is...
Not the Druidcraft or the Harmonious. The Druidcraft is the warmer of the two...
I'm off to bed now, so one more clip then you'll have to suffer for a few hours...})
Celtic Dragon, maybe?
weaver
Animal Divine?
You've got it, Mags! It is the Judgement card! :)
weaver
O WoW!! How nice!
I'm going out this evening to the movies (Goblet of Fire at the dollar theatre!) But I'll try to get something up before I go :)
OK, here you go--this is a very popular deck, I'll be surprized if no one gets it by the time I'm back from the movies.
Good Luck, All!
-------oops! Sorry about the size, but I don't know how to get it bigger...:(
Whoops! I owe an apology to Leo. It was not my intention to officially pronounce a winner last round. I was just trying to congratulate Magpie. It should have been Leo to officially confirm the win.
I am really sorry for the mixup.
weaver
BlueLotus
04-03-2006, 13:34
Though the snippet is way too minute to identify at this point, here's my wild guess anyway
Is it from the Palladini deck ?
*O dear. I owe an apology to Leo, too. I've gone and jumped the gun. What to do ?? :(
Blue Lotus, it's not the Pallidini, but it does have that "flowing" quality to the Art.
crap, please delete, sorry >(
*O dear. I owe an apology to Leo, too. I've gone and jumped the gun. What to do ?? :(
No apology necessary magpie - you were dead right...and I was fast asleep ;)
Here's the whole card ...
Well... The first deck I thought of when I saw this clip was the Russian Tarot of St Petersburg followed by the Egorov Tarot, which is less well known, I think. I doubt either guess is correct, but they are the best I can come up with thus far! :)
weaver
bump.
This thread (and others) really don't need all these bumps.... :) If you want to watch them you can use "thread tools", you don't have to post !!
It has a strange look of Paschkis' Nova deck....
Such nice educated guesses---but none of them are right, yet. Here's a bigger slice for your appraisal. I will be looking around for a larger copy of this card to work with. I had no idea that this one was going to be so damn tiny!
Well m'dears, I'm tucking in for the night. I'll be surprised if one of you hasn't solved this puzzle by morning.
It is a full 78 card deck, and the artist has one other deck--but it's an Oracle.
Have fun! :D
BlueLotus
05-03-2006, 14:34
The Elemental Tarot perhaps..???
Is this a Justice card????
The Elemental Tarot perhaps..???
I thknk you may be on to something - in which case the artist has done 2 tarots and an oracle..... If you ARE right - Mags, see me after school !!! :P
PS then again I can't see it there..... then again again I am in a foul mood, so maybe....
My you have been busy!
Keigh--karma points for you--it is a Justice card.
Blue Lotus--it's not the Elemental--but like the Elemental, it's not a standard sort of deck.
Dear Gregory, I do have the deck count right on this artist, but you would have been right if it had been the elemental! Bonus points to you for alertness and tarot artist trivia!
Here's a hint: some of the majors names are changed in this deck...as are the names of 2 of the minor suits. ;)
I may not check in again tonight--so her's a bigger slice to keep you going.
Good guess, Catlin--but no.
Did I mention this deck is OP?
Annabelle
07-03-2006, 03:14
This is a bit off the wall, I know . . . .but is it the Greenwood?
It is OOP, and the artist has only one other deck, an oracle deck . . . so it matches those two clues.
Ah, Annabelle---your off the wall is anybody else's home run :D
Yes it's the Greenwood, the (in)justice card.......and over to you!
Annabelle
07-03-2006, 03:50
Eeek! Wow, I didn't expect to win . . . I have the Greenwood, but it's been ages since I've looked through the cards.
May take a few hours before I can post a clip . . . in meetings all afternoon . . .

07-03-2006, 05:01
Okay folks, here we go - onto a new round!
I'm not sure how many people own this deck, but I'm pretty sure most of us have at least seen it online :D.
I have absolutely no real idea as to what deck your clip comes from, Annabelle, but it puts me in mind of the artwork of the Eclectic Tarot. Might this clip be from that deck?
(BTW Great last round, Magpie! I would have never guessed your clip came from the Greenwood deck.)
weaver
Annabelle
07-03-2006, 05:51
Wow, weaver, that was fast!!! Congratulations!! Yes, you are right, it is from the Tower card in the Eclectic tarot :). Since it's the featured Aeclectic deck of the week right now, I figured folks might be familiar with the art style!
A scan of the full card is attached . . . and now over to you, weaver!
WOW!!! What a surprise! Thank you, Annabelle! Well, off to find a new clip. I'll be back soon. :)
(Annabelle, do you own this deck? If so, please share your thoughts about it!)

OK! Here we go! This clip is from a mass produced, in print deck.

No, I don't own the Eclectic . . . the majors look interesting, but the minors and courts don't impress me, from what I've seen in the scans. Incidentally, I got the scan of the Tower card from http://********.multiply.com/.
Is this the Nigel Jackson on a bad day?
Is this the Nigel Jackson on a bad day?
LOL! :laugh: No, Magpie, it isn't! Actually, this clip notwithstanding, generally the artwork found in this deck is quite dissimilar to that found in the Nigel Jackson Tarot.

Gotta scan it at work, it'll be several hours yet :| sry
I'm hoping this isn't too easy or too hard... I tried to strike the right balance :) And no, that's not a hint that it's a Justice or Temperance, nice try tho :D
is it Servants of the Light?
nope :) wish i had that thing though
I don't know...Maybe the Karma Tarot?
weaver
It's not the Karma. It isn't a Magician :)
Is it a LoS deck?
For that matter, is it in print?
(Hints or a larger clip would be greatly appreciated. :))
weaver
It is not an LS deck, and it is in print. I will post a bigger clip tonight if still no answer.
Um, hints. It is a modern deck that has been in print for quite a while but has never been super-popular.
Its LWB is very large and unusual. There, that's practically a giveaway if you own the thing.
Is this from the Sharman-Caselli Tarot?
weaver
How about the Wheel of Change??
OK here is a bigger one... Remember, I said it has a really unique LWB, not book
...And here is a bigger one. :| If this doersn't work soon I will pick another deck and image, I think
GeorgiePorgie
13-03-2006, 15:39
Can we have some more written clues? Hints? The picture does seem familiar (I know, I know, they ALL do :confused: ) but I need to be guided a bit more. Please.
Is it that Photographic RW that has a CD instead of a book ??? though that has not been out for long.... :(
Black dragon
13-03-2006, 18:11
Don't know bout the LWB, but the card looks like the Emperor from the Tavaglione tarot.
Black Dragon
...And here is a bigger one. :| If this doersn't work soon I will pick another deck and image, I think
Good challenge, Zhritza! If Black Dragon's guess isn't correct, simply posting more clues (and potentially even larger clips later on) is all that is needed, I think. Heck, we have even had the full cards featured here before anyone guessed the deck correctly! Still, the LWB hint is only really useful for those that own the deck so more hints would be most helpful and likely reactivate the round!
weaver
The LWB with the Tavaglione is perfectly normal... :( I am going home to look and see what LWBs are particularly large.
BlueLotus
14-03-2006, 00:28
The LWB with the Tavaglione is perfectly normal... :( I am going home to look and see what LWBs are particularly large.
Unless Zhritza means another form of a LWB :confused: I can think of the following decks with largish LWBs although I wouldn't exactly call them as such but rather accompanying booklets ;)
- Faery Wicca
- Nigel Jackson
- Spirit World
- Golden Tarot
- Merlin
And probably a few others that are not in my collection. I am not sure that this snippet is in any of the above decks though as I checked.
Just being large isn't that striking, I thought - that was why I wondered about the CD RW..... (I have gone rapidly through most of mine that simply have very fat LWBs, though, just in case.....)
And it looks like a strangely conventional image.
An Emperor, I'd say ? Wild stab - the Saints (Place) - Guessing now and then will go and look :D
Ed. Nope. :(
i'm sure i found it : the Emperor from the "Stairs of gold tarot"
But what is so special about the LWB then ? Mine is perfectly normal - well, it's in unusual lettering, but not BIG. But I'm sure you're right - though the orb on mine is paler than the clip. I never got it out after we heard the book was so big.... Puzzled.... :confused:
So Black Dragon was extremely close but no cigar ! (there being the Tavaglione aka Enoil Gavat as well.....)

indeed an there is also the "delle stelle" none of the LWB are really big but have a bit more pages than most tarots perhaps that is what is ment by big ?
Don't know bout the LWB, but the card looks like the Emperor from the Tavaglione tarot.
No BlackDragon you got it! I am sorry the LWB thing was so confusing. I figured if I called it an LWB you'd know it was in regular LWB format... It's rather thick and handwritten, so I thought that would help. Sorry all :/
OK so I guess it's back on you BlackDragon ;) And if I win again I will try to do better
ACK! Again, sorry, yes it's the Emperor and here he is...
Not that I care, as long as this keeps going - but let's hope that's the card BD meant ! :D

Damn, I'm not at work at the moment and thats where my clips are, (I have no internet, i've just stopped into a comp room at uni, while waiting to pick someone up for a lift,) So i'm sorry about the wait, as can't check answers till tomoorow morn, (GMT) but heres a new clip you can work with.

Oh well, all i can say is i hope someone does get it, The whole deck is shown on one of the sites i use for this game.

Okay Skin....time for another snippet. I've been all over the web looking at decks and cannot find this parched earth! (well, obviously not ALL over - or I'd have found it!!) :D It looks photo realistic or computer generated....but again, that hasn't helped me. Any clues would be appreciated!

Right, sorry folks to have you waiting, my day is crammed full. So you'll get a bigger (and more interesting ;)) snippet here (http://thedreamersmaze.org/extra/snip3.jpg) AND some clues! :) See if you can find it then...
So: I can say for sure that the deck is neither photolike nor computer generated, it has the distinct hand-drawn style of cartoons maybe. It's nothing fancy, suits are the usual, and so far I haven't seen any wild unusual stuff in the pictures. What else can I say... I'll see what you've come up with just before I go to bed, and post another snippet if you haven't guessed it by then.

16-03-2006, 03:20
Well I'm not sure about "one of those curled-up Indian or majaraji shoes", but it's a bit of a sandalled foot, yes. :) And I'll also add a bit to the hints: I've had another look at some of the cards, and they do quite often differ from RWS symbolism. They definitely draw on Greek mythology.
skinofthesoul~
Based upon your hint, might this be from the Olympus Tarot?
weaver
or perhaps the Pythagorean tarot ?
skinofthesoul
16-03-2006, 04:20
Neither guess is correct, but the art style of the Pythagorean is quite similar, it also has this coloured pencil look.
Well, perhaps this is from the Mythic Tarot?
(I am wondering if this deck mass-produced and/or in print?)
weaver
Is it the Alchemical Tarot ?
skinofthesoul
16-03-2006, 05:14
Yes indeed, weaver, you've got it! It is, I'm relieved to find, the Mythic. :):):):):)
Here is the full card: http://********.multiply.com/photos/photo/70/53.jpg
And finally I can tell you why I was so worried no one would guess it: I was browsing for a nice clip to use and looked through all the decks listed on ********'s site (see URL above). This one caught my eye so I happily cut the Five of Pentacles apart and posted it here. Imagine now my rising panic when I googled for "Mitologic" (which is the name given on ********) and couldn't find a SINGLE useful bit of information on that deck! :eek:
Well, I did think it must have a different name, I mean not even Gregory had "Mitologic" on her list...! ;), but how was I to find out? Glad you guessed it weaver - even more so since I quite like that deck by now and with the real name I can go looking for it. :D
Over to you! :love:
skinofthesoul~
Thanks, skinofthesoul!
I can't believe I guessed this one correctly! It was your hints, not the clip that pointed me in the right direction. The Mythic deck is one of those decks
in which I "think" I know the artwork but NEVER seem to identify correctly when a clip from it appears in this game!
Well, on to a brand new round! Just to get things going, this deck is mass produced and in print. Good luck, everyone!
weaver
I am going offline soon for the evening. There have been views of this latest clip but no guesses yet. By way of a final hint before I sign off, this deck is only available as a deck/book set.
Failing a correct guess tonight, I'll post a larger clip in the morning!

First gues for this round : is it the "The Sacred Circle Tarot"

Ha cackle shriek etc………….
WELL it’s like this. They got wayleaves for the poles for the new line.
Then they phoned and said that the ground was waterlogged, so the engineers couldn’t do it till it dried out – so I pointed out that waterlogged is the state of the nation around here, so unless I had to wait till there were 12 weeks of rainless summer – NOT likely….
So then they phoned back and said fine, and gave me a date (last Thurs and Fri.) It POURED all day. (You couldn't make it up, could you ??)
Then on Saturday they phoned (they were FURIOUS, to be fair !!!) to say the farmer would not allow access in that weather and they had to set another date (this week, allegedly. It is now snowing. :D)
And I am packing in my job in July, so then I can’t even use my connection at work…..
The good news – we are due for compensation based on no service since before Christmas. (and this is immutable, because we still have to pay our ISP, whose fault it isn’t !) And also – they are currently waiving all our bills – including the calls – we can mostly manage voice calls, even though they are ever so noisy…..
I will keep y’all informed…. I was GOING to raffle a deck. I may yet…. :D
Blimey that is small. Looks like a board room with fancy curtains.... :?: :(

And maybe that's how my voice sounds. Someday someone here may find out (Milfoil looks the likeliest just now !)
I am not exactly sure how, but I think the enlarged clip made matters worse! :D

OK, clue time. This is an inprint, themed deck that comes as a set. The naming of the suits and majors is non-standard.

It looks like the BACK side of my Morgan Greer! LOL - Is there a "super hero" deck? With all those stars it likes it belongs to a marvel comic...

Readily available as far as I am aware. I believe (and I will come back to discipline and correct myself if I am wrong) it comes as a deck alone, and also as a deck&set, although that doesn't really tell you anything does it.

Everyone else – this is my revenge for everyone talking about US TV shows we UK members don’t recognise. Casualty is the UK’s answer to ER, I guess…
BUT – a molar pregnancy is not ectopic; it’s way worse, it isn’t a pregnancy at all, it is a malignant growth and pretty nasty. Not different here; the first time I met the term was when I worked in doctor’s office in Canada. The lady died…..

OK, then, here is the next clip. :) It comes from an in print, mass produced deck. Does it look familiar?!

Well of course it does. Have we ever had one that didn't ???
Not that I know what it is, of course..... :(

Is it Egyptian?
Actually, it doesn't look at all familiar to me....does that make me better of or worse off, I wonder?
looks a bit celtic to me ......perhaps the "The Druid Craft Tarot " ?
Good guesses, la-luna and Keigh, but his deck isn't the Druidcraft nor does it specifically have an Egyptian or Druid theme.
Here is a larger clip! :)
weaver
Not one guess??? I think some hints may be called for. Let's see...
Other than the LWB, there is no book available for this deck. Also, in addition to having a theme, this deck is multicultural. :)
weaver
OK, then here goes nothing....
Tarot of the Ages ?
OK, then here goes nothing....
Tarot of the Ages ?
It isn't from the Tarot of the Ages, gregory, but it is a deck you are conversant with!
weaver
Does that just mean I own it, or have you reason to suppose I have looked at it recently.....!! (I do hope it isn't the Bruegel !!! but that isn't multiculti !)
Wild guessing as I don't have time to check....is it the Ancestral Path?
Nevermind....I looked through it, but did not find it in that deck. It is multicultural though :) - Off topic....does anyone know if that deck comes with a book other than the LWB - cuz if so, I'd sure like to get my hands on one!
The review on Passages refers to a deck/book set..... and says
there is a book written specifically for this deck by Tracey Hoover
I've not seen it myself.... but Tarotgarden says it is available with and without softcover book, too.
As, it appears you have already ascertained, this is not from the Ancestral Path deck, nor is it from the Bruegel deck. To recap, this is a multicultural deck that has a distinct theme but no accompanying book. It is in print.
This is a Major Arcana card and is featured on this site.
Do I feel a correct identification coming on?!

Why ISN'T there a gingerbread tarot ?
But there isn't, so it isn't - nor is it the tarot of the dairymaid (bought milk yesterday - want some of mine ?)
Has anyone actually eaten the gummy bears that come with the deck ? I can't decide whether to, but they must be pretty stale by now :(. It seems to sort of lessen the deck to take away its added assets but on the other hand I live in fear of them going soft and leaking onto the cards..... :eek:

Arrrggghhh! Another one of "those" clips! I recognize those initials from somewhere. Darn.
As to gummi bears, my deck didn't come with them! *pout*

Tarot of the Gnomes (just for the sake of a flippin' guess) ??!!!??!??!
None of the above (however many guesses there are up there.) Sorry about the gummies, Oakie....
I won't give a clue JUST yet..... so:
Second clip. This is not a huge part of the card, and it is pretty centrally placed.
mmmm looks celtic perhaps a throne so i'm thinking it could be an emperess but the deck......????
OakDragon
22-03-2006, 01:18
Shot in the dark...
It's not the Gay Tarot, is it?
Turn the lights on Oakie - it isn't. And it isn't an Empress either. But it is a major. Bigger clip now, and maybe a clue before I go to bed then.....
(Wow - at last I set one that isn't solved instantly.)
It is easily available and has the full 78 cards - not a majors deck.
i don't think but you never now is it the "Vikings Tarot"
Don't know the deck but is it a Chariot card? :)
Karma heading your way.... Well done. A Chariot it is !
No it isn't - and it has taken me AGES to get back on line. Goodness knows when I shall manage again. At work, likely !
OK – here's another clip. Clue. Ummmmmm……
There is a genuine and well known historical face on one (major) card in this deck – not this card though ! and much less well known ones on others. The artist died not long after it was completed, and I THINK before it was published though I can't actually verify that ! And this image is available on line without going to one of those vast all decks sites !
And a significantly bigger clip would probably be a real giveaway, for reasons which will become obvious if and when I have to post one !!! :cool4:
What, STILL no guesses ?
It was indeed the artist's last work; it had to be completed by someone else after he died at the age of 51 (I have his exact dates here; he hadn't made it to his 52nd birthday !)
This even larger clip shows a characteristic feature of the deck that will probably give it away to everyone who has ever seen it.
Oh - and just for the heck of it - it isn't an LS. But it is from a Big Name Publisher.
Hurry up people - I go forth away from computer access tomorrow morning !
Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg?
weaver
Praise the Lord ! Yes it is. Which bit gave it away ???
Here's the card. Over to you, dear girl :D (I shall just watch, in case I carelessly win just as I drive down the motorway !)
Praise the Lord ! Yes it is. Which bit gave it away ???
The bit of black between the horses. I am afraid all of your very telling clues regarding the deck's background were lost on me! BTW What famous figure is featured in the deck? What card is he or she? (Inquiring minds want to know! :laugh:)
At any rate, thanks gregory! It is great having you back here! :love:
(I'll be back in a bit with a new challenge. :))
weaver
OK! Here is the new challenge! :) Once again, this comes from a mass-produced, in print deck. Good luck!
weaver

I thought the black would do it for someone ! It is such a giveaway - and it is surprisingly hard to find a good bit that doesn't show it !
Stalin's face features as the Devil !!!!!!! - available on line I think; I will scan it anyway (I am at work and -----)
Yours is very familiar - and WHAT card is pretty obvious....! Karma for not saying right off ??? but deck? - I may look....

Those Chariot horses look inflatable. Weird. Like their fat has been liposuctioned, but not fully vaccumed out.....liquid cellulite....Note to self: Must remember to not wear a bathing suit this year. :cool5:

It sure is! Good eye, Magpie! ( I just received this deck in a trade and like it very much. :))
At any rate, here is the complete card. Over to you, Magpie!

Well well - I think she's got it ! :P (ed. I am sick of this phone line. Congrats Esmeralda ! Cluck cluck :P)
Good Greif! I had better hop to it and find something to put up! I'll be back in a while.
Here it is. By contrast with some of the recent clips, this is from a non-mainstream deck. It's a little change of pace for us all! :D

Just a wild guess. Is this from the Ironwing Tarot perhaps?
Nope, no the Ironwing, despite the color scheme. Try again?
I'm off to bed now, will check in the morning to see if someone has guessed it. By way of a hint to keep you busy--I did get the image from this site. :)
It's the eight of sticks from the Poet's Tarot!
WOW - is it ? That IS non-mainstream.
No time to look as I am off south. But I didn't know hardly none-one but me and Gerbear even knew that one existed !!! VERY odd deck ! Bye, folks.
It's the eight of sticks from the Poet's Tarot!
Good on you, Keigh! Thats the one, and here's the Full Monty ! Was it the clip, or the clue that showed you the way?

Sorry light it is not the minchiate ethurian....but please, guess again!
What? No more guesses? Okay....this is a 78 card deck....and here's another clip...
Annabelle
24-03-2006, 06:48
Looks a lot like Williams' Renaissance tarot to me . . .
Edited to add: Actually, it looks a lot like the Moon (La Luna) card from the Renaissance tarot :).
Yes indeed, it is Annabelle....and here's la luna in it's entirety:
Annabelle
24-03-2006, 11:35
Sorry for the delay, folks :). I went out to dinner and have only just arrived back home.
Anyway, on to the next round. This is from a pretty well-known deck - good luck everyone :)!!

Cosmic Tarot?
Annabelle
24-03-2006, 21:45
Ooo . . . very good guess, but no, it's not from the Cosmic. Like the Cosmic, though, this is a U.S. Games deck with 78 cards.
Here's a slightly bigger clip . . .
skinofthesoul
25-03-2006, 02:19
Hahaaaaaaa - it's The World from my new favourite, the Fantastical Tarot! :D
Annabelle
25-03-2006, 04:38
Congratulations skinofthesoul!!!! You are quite correct, it is the World card from the Fantastical tarot. A full scan is attached.
And now over to you . . .
skinofthesoul
25-03-2006, 07:33
Yeah well Annabelle4, I'm using the Cosmic and the Fantastical in the current Intuitive Study... :)
On to a new round then! This one should be fairly easy, the fourth snippet will give it away at the very latest. But here's a small one (http://thedreamersmaze.org/extra/snipsnip1.jpg) to start with.
Happy guessing! :love:

skinofthesoul
26-03-2006, 03:05
Two nos again, but good guesses. Time for some hints I reckon... It is a themed deck, sort of an RWS for specialists in something. It's not by Lo Scarabeo, but by another major company.
If no one guesses it in the next couple of hours, I'll post another clip before I go to bed tonight. :)
skinofthesoul
26-03-2006, 08:56
Right, seems like I got you all stumped. Well... here's (http://thedreamersmaze.org/extra/snipsnip11.jpg) another snippet, we're getting close to revealing the main characteristic of this deck now. It is quite possible that few of you have it and even fewer read with it, as I said before, it has a special theme. What else? It's in print, according to Tarot Garden, and the card is from the Majors. There, back on track? :)
Chronata
26-03-2006, 09:06
ahhhhggggggg!
This one is driving me crazy!
It looks so very familiar...
But I have no idea!
edited to make a random guess...
the Epicurian?

Hanson Roberts??
You have me completely stumped, like Chronata, I am sure I know it, but at the same time; don't!

26-03-2006, 09:29
I'd guess the Granny Jones, except I thought that was OOP.
Scratch that ... besides, the tips you've given prove me wrong. I'm stumped.
Is it the Edyta Gadek Tarot?
light2000
26-03-2006, 12:29
herbal tarot?
BlueLotus
26-03-2006, 15:18
It seems that light2000 has got it :thumbsup:
Upon checking I found that snippet in the hem of The High Priest's robe in the HT deck ;)
skinofthesoul
26-03-2006, 19:55
Indeed - light2000 is right, and it is the High Priest from the Herbal Tarot (http://thedreamersmaze.org/extra/HerbalV.jpg). Congratulations, light2000, and over to you!
:) skinofthesoul~
Just a heads up. I have PM'd Light to see if she is able to post the next round and asked her to reply here. In the past she has not been able to head a round. I'll be out tomorrow but for those ready and willing to play, I expect Light will connect here and let others know if she would like some help!

Not the Fey....try again!
Sorry magpie - it's not the LS Native American either.
Annabelle
27-03-2006, 10:35
Full Moon Dreams, perhaps?
Full Moon Dreams, perhaps?
Yes, it was the Full Moon Dreams (and we didn't even get to clues yet!) Here's the full card.
Well done Annabelle! Your turn.
Annabelle
27-03-2006, 10:45
Hehehe . . . it's one of my favorite decks, so it's no wonder I recognized the clip.
So, here we go - a new clip for a new round!
light2000
27-03-2006, 10:53
Lol anabella i don't have a clue at that one.
But is an ace of wands?
Annabelle
27-03-2006, 10:54
No, Light2000, it isn't an Ace of Wands . . . however, it is a card from the Wands suit, so you are on the right track!
Annabelle
27-03-2006, 13:24
I'm about to head off to bed for the night, but here's a clue: According to Tarot Garden, this deck is in print, although it's been around for quite some time.
Also, here's a slightly larger clip. If anyone guesses it correctly while I'm asleep and is sure of it/can prove it, feel free to continue on to a new round if you like :).
Well, I suppose I should get some of the dragon decks out of the way first, before we're able to get down to really guessing...
So......Is it the Dagon tarot?
Is it the Celtic dragon Tarot?
Dragons seem a good guess! It can't be the Celtic Dragon though...cuz they're basically grey colored cards. Beautiful artwork in vibrant colors, but nothing yellow like that (I'll eat my socks if I'm wrong :D). This clip has me stumped.
Black dragon
27-03-2006, 20:24
What do you mean grey coloured card, what with the pure colours of the emperor card, or the georgeous vibrant yelowing in the two and three of wands, thats nicely vibrant And yellow!
I don't think it is a celtic dragon, without checking i cant be sure however, but thats not the point, huh grey coloured card indeed.
Sorry just had to make a statement, please ignore me.
Black Dragon
Annabelle
27-03-2006, 23:30
Sorry, but it's neither the Dragon tarot nor the Celtic Dragon tarot. In fact, this deck is not dragon-themed at all :). It is a deck with some unusual features, however . . . personally, I find it difficult to shuffle ;).
Here's a bigger clip to get the guesses going again . . .
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 01:46
Hmm, I've never even heard of that one before, Psyndi . . . which is weird for me, as I like to think that I've heard of most of them :).
No, it's definitely not the Tarot of the Rishis, but thanks for guessing!
The clip I posted a little while earlier shows the main portion of the middle of the card - i.e. what you are seeing is the most prominent part of the card. This is a deck that has what I would call illustrated minors, but not fully scenic in the RWS sense. Oh, and if it helps at all, this is a deck that I own and have listed in my profile.
light2000
28-03-2006, 01:57
lol Annabelle, i think even if you show the all card i won't get this one :)
Is the egypcian tarot?
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 02:03
Great guess, light2000, but no.
Hmmm, I'm not sure what else I can give in the way of clues without outright "giving it away." I can tell you that this is not a U.S. Games or a Lo Scarabeo deck, and I don't think it's ever been very popular, although it is mass-produced (definitely NOT rare or limited, etc.).
Here's a bigger snippet :).
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 05:51
Three hours, nine views, and no additional guesses. Looks to me as if it's time for another clue :)!
Although this deck is not truly a Thoth clone, it is based somewhat on the Thoth, and you can see the resemblance in many of the cards. Well, I can see the resemblance, anyway - I hope others can as well :).
I could post a bigger clip, but then it would be kind of hard not to include the card title in the picture.
light2000
28-03-2006, 06:07
Connoly deck?
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 06:18
Good guess, but no. Although the Connolly does have bright colors, so I can see why the yellow background in this clip reminded you of it.
Just to summarize the clues so far:
- It is a mass-produced deck.
- It is in print according to Tarot Garden.
- It is in my deck list in my profile.
- It is not published by U.S. Games or Lo Scarabeo.
- It does not have a dragon theme.
- It has illustrated minors and is based at least partially on the Thoth.
- It has some unique physical features.
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 07:01
Oh! You're close, but it's not the Via. You are thinking on the right track, though!! Here's another hint . . . this deck has something extra that the Via tarot doesn't have :).
- It has some unique physical features.
Now You've got me guessing -- is it in a wheelchair? Does it have a second head? Does it's Mommy dress it funny? does sit have a loong scaly tail?
Inquiring minds want to know....})
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 08:50
Does it's Mommy dress it funny?
Well, it's funny you should ask about how it is dressed ;). It does seem that Mommy gave it an extra suit - perhaps to help cover its bulky shape? I find it darned near impossible to shuffle this deck by any means.
Deva Tarot, perhaps?
weaver
How about the "Infinite Tarot"?
Annabelle
28-03-2006, 11:09
'Fraid it's not the Infinite, Magpie . . . Weaver has it right, it's the Deva tarot!! The cards are square, and made of very thick, inflexible cardstock, and there's an extra suit - Triax.
Here's a full scan of the 5 of Wands from the Deva . . . and now over to you, Weaver! Congratulations! :)
Thanks, Annabelle! Your good hints were the only reason I managed to guess this one!
Well, on to a new round, folks! This clip comes from an in print, mass produced deck. I am off to bed. Perhaps there will be a winner by morning?
weaver
No guesses?! I thought this one would be identified right away. With this larger clip, perhaps it will be! :)

Looks like a multicultural deck to me, perhaps Maya themed?
I would not consider this to be a multicultural deck nor does it have a Maya theme. I am not certain one would say that it has a theme, per se. If not a theme, though, this deck certainly has a distinct voice and approach to the subject of Tarot.

You speak in riddles, weaver. I guess it it no LS deck?

Thanks, Weaver! PM'ing you about possibly posting a clip for me.
About the theme, I'm not too sure. If there was one, it'd be a hard one to describe ...
About the theme, I'm not too sure. If there was one, it'd be a hard one to describe ...Yes. it is confusing, isn't it? The Gill Tarot is certainly strongly based upon the Tree of Life but I am not sure that would constitute a theme!
At any rate, on with the game! The very sweet QoP has asked that this beautiful clip be posted on her behalf. Over to you QoP! :)

jackdaw*
29-03-2006, 00:42
No it's not, BlueLotus, but you're in the right neighbourhood.
So I guess this counts as the first clue: it is a collage deck.
And big thanks to Weaver for her kindness :)
Odyssey ????? (I may regret this as I am leaving the country on Friday...)
jackdaw*

Not Odyssey either. Another hint (for Gregory, as she's leaving the country): it was released last year. And yes, I do have it.

Going to bed now, will check back in the morning :)
jackdaw*
29-03-2006, 22:05
Still no guesses? Sheesh ... I can't post a bigger clip and Weaver has said she would be at work, so I'll recap the hints:
1. It's a collage deck.
2. It was released last year.
3. I have it.
4. It's from the Queen of Pentacles card - although it may not be called that in the deck.
Anyone?
It is Full Moon Dreams. Queen of Earth. (LOVELY deck !) And since you have no scanner, QoP, I will be helpful here:
This is the whole card. (http://www.lunaea.com/tarot/tarottour5/tour76.html)
Unless I am insane.
Damn.
I hope I can keep this working; I will scan one RIGHT NOW and be ready.... and you all better be ready - you have only 36 hours at most ! (and the phone has just dropped.....) Worst case scenario I will go out tomorrow and give someone details from another machine, if I have to....

30-03-2006, 01:31
Gregory's right, and thanks for posting the link!
Fingers crossed for your computer staying cooperative :)
OK ------ this may be specially easy for a couple of people (if they are watching...) that's the only clue for now. I have it - well, duh.... :P
Not a majors only.....
Oh now look, someone must have some ideas ? The image is on line – but not in the 'usual places' – though it is on a 'usual site'. If you follow me.
Here is a bigger bit. It is a deck that has been used in in this game before – though I can’t remember whether in this thread or the old one. Not published by any of the Big Guys.
Computer is being FRIGHTFUL..................
Have a bigger clip.
Looks kinda LS-y to me, is it?
SweetyChicken - I did say not one of the big publishers. I would have called LS big. But if you disagree - well, not LS anyway !
I will tell y'all - the image IS somewhere on AT. But not in the decks area..... :P
Well, sneaky greggers, does that mean you've used an image from one of the Aeclectic tarot decks that we members made? That would be really sneaky........ that would be just tooo evil...})
Oh wow that WOULD be evil. (plots... }))
No I didn't. Though I THINK all the cards from those are here somewhere.....
The DECK is listed in the deck section, but there is no review, only pix. This card isn't there. BUT - this card has been posted in a thread here. Now why would that be ? And how would I know ??? (did I post it ? - well, yes, OK, I did. And NOT in this game, neither.) I don't know if our profiles show all our attachments; I hope not - that would be boring.
Clues:
If Netzach shows up she will spot it at once (I think...) (now where could THAT mean I posted it ?) How many people here are into that ?
There is an extra card in each suit.
It’s not a Thoth close, but uses many Thoth elements/symbols.
There is no date on my copy, nor does TG list one, but I bought it in 2002 and was told it was recently out. It was published by the artist.
It’s not themed but there is just one thing that appears on every single card.
Bigger clip.
I will post an even bigger one around lunch time (my time) if no-one has it by then.
Signed: worried ! :(
Who has just (OH YUK) just managed to make a cup of coffee that tastes like fish. HOW ??? Arrrrggghhh. (looks for spitting smilie...) :P
could it be it's a deck made by a member of AT ? i wonder.....
skinofthesoul
30-03-2006, 18:02
... but no, profiles do not list all attachments posted by that member. But your hints are rather helpful, gregory, at least I think so...
... is it from the Babylonian Tarot? I don't think it is but I've had success with random guesses before :D
EDIT: Can't be, that was published only this year says AT. Hmmm...
skinofthesoul
30-03-2006, 18:30

Well...I am not really sure what it is I am looking at but the first deck that crossed my mind upon looking at this new clip was the Gendron Tarot. Might this be from that deck?
weaver
tabbycat
01-04-2006, 07:12
No, not the Gendron.
In that there have been no guesses here for over a day, it appears that everyone is stuck. Would it be possible to provide some clues and/or a larger clip to help keep the game rolling, Tabbycat?
weaver
is it the Celestial? I don't think it is...yet it's the only deck that comes to mind. The image is a bit small pixelated so it's really hard to tell.
I have no idea what this could be, let alone what deck it comes from........help us out a little bit here, Tabbycat, please!
tabbycat
02-04-2006, 18:07
Not by one of the major publishers, based on the RWS, done in 1999 and OOP. I'll post a bigger snippet later.
Apologies for not visiting the thread much yesterday - I was collecting my father from the hospital and taking him home. He's been in all week with an irregular heartbeat which suddenly switched back to normal, so they decided he could go.
tabbycat
02-04-2006, 18:20
Here's a bigger section of the card. And, Keigh, the messiness of the image is in itself a clue!

Hmm... the Star from the Millennium by Folchi? Looks like van Gogh's stars in Starry Night, and I think that's the card van Gogh appears on. (I'll know for sure when my Millennium arrives!)
tabbycat
02-04-2006, 22:17
Yes, QoP, it is Folchi's Millennium deck, but Vincent Van Gogh is on the Moon card, not the Star. Congratulations, and more congrats on getting the deck. Did it cost you a lot? It's one I'd like, but I haven't tracked one down yet.
jackdaw*
03-04-2006, 21:11
Woo ... so sorry to be away so long!
No, mine did not cost much - um, less than $40 Canadian with shipping from a German seller.
Tabbycat, am PMing you re: a new clip, as I don't have posting privileges.
jackdaw*
03-04-2006, 21:30
I've held the game up so long ... I'm so sorry! Should have known better than to guess on a clip the weekend my in-laws are in town!
I've had no reply from Tabbycat yet ... in the interest of getting the game rolling again, would anyone be so kind to post a clip for me? PM me, or just post one, please.

Hi QoP! I'll be happy to help you. Is there anything specific you would like posted? PM me if you do. If I have the deck I'll be delighted to help out!

Very much appreciated :)
Hint: out of print, in my collection. More to come if necessary.
Anyone?
I think this (very wonderful) clip is of a drawing as opposed to being a photograph. Still, just to get it out of the way more than anything else; is this from the Mountain Dream Tarot?!
weaver
jackdaw*
03-04-2006, 22:15
Nope. And no, it's not a drawn deck.
I am not sure if this deck is in print or not but here goes...Is this from the Inner Landscape Tarot?
weaver
jackdaw*
03-04-2006, 23:46
No again :)
Oh my goodness...I am pretty certain this comes from the Flying Hearts Tarot! (The print on the picture is small but I think it is from the Pan/Devil card.)

Here is the new clip. :) Does it look familiar? It very well might as it comes from an in print mass produced deck. Good luck players!
weaver
I think this is from the Druidcraft, from the card replacing Temperance in that deck.
Well Mags, you are only half correct BUT it is the half that counts! Congratulations! :) This is from the Death card from the Druidcraft Tarot. :laugh:
Over to you, dear Magpie!

Love that druidcraft! thank you, weaver!
Here's my entry for a lightening round. It's in print, and popular. :D Have fun!
Queen of Pentacles has this deck...and I was wrong --sorry--it has recently gone out of print.
Guesses are free!
I'm off to bed now, so here's a larger clip to keep you warm. I realy hope somebody gets this tonite because I'll be working tommorrow. The Artist has a second, majors only deck out now.
Without looking this up, I am going to take a wild guess that this is from the Ancestral Path Tarot. This guess is based upon your clues, not the clip itself!
Edited to add: I just checked and, sure enough, this clip is from AP's Queen of Sacred Circles. (Good one, Magpie!) I work today as well so regardless of when Magpie posts, I'll not be able to put up anything until this afternoon. Until then...
weaver
Ahhh weaver, you're just showboatin'----but you're right.
I'm beginning to think she can do this blindfolded and with one arm tied behind her back. Dazzling Performance!
It is the Ancestral Path and it is the Queen of Pentacles.
Thanks Magpie! (You do realize that it was your great hints that pointed me in the right direction!)
I think this one will go pretty quickly. The deck this clip comes from is in print and widely available. :)

No, sorry light2000 , it's not the GT.
As I mentioned my deck is a recent reprint of another deck. Both were published in Europe by a not-so-major publisher .
I think it's the Forest Folklore. Is it?
Deleted....I realized my guess is put out by one of the larger publishers...:bugeyed:

Is this from the Tarot of Eden? If it is, I am guessing that this clip may be a portion of the Star card, perhaps?
weaver
enquiring minds want to know....WHAT, exactly, is a gypsy chicken?
Sorry to take so long to get back to your delightful and intelligent question, Keigh.
Perhaps I should explain that Esmiralda is not just any chicken, but a world-famous astonishingly talented Gypsy chicken of Blessed Memory, and my totem animal spirit guide, to boot. She's always been the brains of this operation, (according to those who know us both well) anyway. She's in my email signature line:
"Esmiralda the Gypsy Chicken Blesses You."
My picky sister says that her name is spelled wrong, ought to be EsmirElda, but I say that's just silly, everybody knows that chickens can't spell. And Besides, everybody has the right to spell their name any way they want to. It's in the constitution. :D
Any other questions?
BTW, I totally fail to have any idea whatsoever of what deck the current clip is from. No surprise there, BlueLotus always stumps me.
My dear Magpie, you are, indeed, a most FASCINATING woman!!!! :laugh:

Just one (or two...but they're related).....:D......how does a gypsy chicken talk? And is it in English, in Poultish? Just curious....~K
Actually, she speaks both, but her English has a heavy gypsy accent sometimes, depending on how sober she is. Most people can't understand her English, but I have no problems with it, due to our close bond and the fact that I speak Da Langwidge of Da Boids, being a Magpie and all.
For instance,
"Vy doo yew vant to kneeow da vutchoor? Fur yew, it kan onlee git verse unlez yoe himprez miy chuman dere wit da coleer ov yer monee, furst."
Roughly translated, means,
"Waddya wanta know the future for? It's not going to improve unless you give me lots of money or else blueberry pancakes."
I should point out that she uses only real Maple Syrup.
Hope this helps. :D

Well, inspired by the subject matter of the last round, I offer you this clip! Note that this deck, while mass produced, is not currently in print. The deck's artwork is, to my eye, rather distinctive.
This is a work day for me so unless someone guesses it correctly right away, I'll not be able to check back until this afternoon.
Good luck, everyone!

No guesses yet? Well, OK, here is a larger clip to help things along. This deck was put out by one of the larger Tarot publishers around a decade ago. It would be considered a theme deck.

weaver this image looks great and the deck must be beautiful . I wonder why it's not in print anymore :confused:
OK Illustrious players! This clip is...half the card! Any guesses?!
weaver
Let's see...This deck is linked to a place as well as a piece of literature. It has an accompanying book. (I am not certain if it was also available as a deck alone.) Just to recap, it was put out by one of the large publishers of Tarot decks around 10 years ago but is currently out of print.
weaver
Ok I’m sure I don’t have it in my personal collection
The description makes me think of something Celtic perhaps the Glastonbury Tarot…(but I thought that one was still in print….)

(Edited....Stop the presses...You DO have this one!!! I didn't see it initially.)
I just checked, and this one IS in your very impressive collection of decks. It isn't the Glastonbury but you are moving in the right direction. My deck is connected not just with a place though, but, quite specifically, with a famous, regional piece of literature.
By the way, I love your profile picture! For those who haven't gone to la-luna's profile, check it out. "Our" la-luna is a cutie! :)
weaver
Well la-luna is blushing from your compliment and completely puzzled about the deck

Congratulations and well done!!! :laugh: Because of its quite identifiable artwork, I think this is a tough deck to find an image from that doesn't give the deck's identity away immediately. In that this card isn't posted in any of the usual places, I guess it was just too obscure, though. :bugeyed:
Ah well, I'll try to do better next time....Here is the card in its entirety. Over to you, la-luna!

Thank you weaver for some reason I was all the time thinking only of Celtic decks.
Ok lets see if I can make a tough round.
A small clip to begin with.
Still nothing ?

Is it the Etruscian tarot, laluna?

Gawd I love it when I spot a deck I actually own....usually they go by me unrecognized. Back in a bit with a clip.
Here we go, this is in honor of la-una's toughie--it has something in common with it. :D
I'll be back in a few hours to see how it's going. If someone gets it before then, please don't hold up the game on my account--just go ahead.
god Luck to All!
Perhaps a hint? This is a 78 card deck, out of print according to Tarotgarden, in an unusual and distintive art style. I'll check back in awhile and post a bigger clip.
BTW---guesses are free--really. ;)
Here's a bigger clip. I'm going to Santa Fe tomorrow, so I hope someone gets this soon......or at least guesses....pretty please? Is it something I said...do I have bad breath?
It is a mass market deck from a big publisher. There is a literary connection...that probably gave it away...:eek:
Your hint did give it away! This is the Dante Tarot!

It is amazing but three, VERY different from each other, decks popped into my mind upon first seeing your clip, la-luna. Doubtless, none of them is correct! :laugh:
My first guess is Liber T: Tarot of the Stars Eternal.

Ummm...Bosch Tarot, maybe?
(This is not one of my first three ideas but, I think I am losing confidence...:bugeyed:)

Might this be from the Atavist Tarot?

Well before deciding on this deck I was thinking about the Atavist tarot.
Keep on with the guesswork.

Well, here is a new clip for a new round! The deck this clip comes from is in print and has been knocking around a while. Though mass-produced, I don't think it has ever really been all that popular.
Any guesses?!
weaver
I am going off line until tomorrow so I thought it might be good to post a few hints first. The first version of this deck was published over ten years ago. Despite changes to the deck itself, it has always solely been available as a deck/book set.
Will there be some guesses tonight? I hope so! Until tomorrow....
weaver
Still no guesses? Let's try a larger clip. This is a work day for me so, lacking a correct guess in the next hour or so, I'll not be able to respond until later this afternoon.

one VERY WILD guess is it the "Bosch Tarot"

Nice to see you posting againn Jeannette, I was in fact wondering if you were on leave.
Actually, I was, more-or-less. While Dan was here, he basically took over my computer ('cuz he had to, to get the orders processed). I could log on to AT on the computer I was on, but I didn't really do that much, since I had my nose buried in programming code for most of those two weeks, putting in the next round of site upgrades. Still, I checked my email every morning (I had to get up early to get the kids off to school, so I had a little time in the a.m. before Dan was up-and-about and ready to work), and I think maybe I only saw one notification come through about this thread during that time. 'Tis true I wasn't really on the boards, but as long as I hit the thread once the notification came in (and I always do), I should have gotten another notification the next time someone posted, shouldn't I?
Well, at this point, 'tis neither here nor there. Dan's gone home (actually, he's on his way to San Francisco now for the BATS conference), so I'm back at my own regular little terminal. And the notification for your post came through, so maybe it had something to do with having my computer logged into AT for a couple of weeks under someone else's handle. No matter.

Yes, I was feeling squirrely. I considered waiting a whole 5 minutes before posting the second, actual clip... but I just couldn't bring myself to be that mean, however briefly and humorously intended.
Since the objects in the second clip are (I think) readily identifiable, even if the deck itself is not, I'll comment that the first eensy-weensy clip is the tip of the thumb from the hand holding the sphrere.

(Jeannette, if you're reading this, thank you ever so much for posting the Lover's Tarot Moon card for me!)

Not the Express, la-luna (not sure which one that is...)
... and not the Elemental, Weaver!
Ok...didn't know if I would need hints or not...
It's a 78 card deck.
It's a recent release.
and I know several regulars to this game have it listed in thier profile! :)
It's been a day, Chronata--how about a bigger clip? :bugeyed: Please??
Chronata
14-04-2006, 02:46
HHMMMMM...I 'm not sure if I can post anything bigger...but I will try!
in the meantime,
more clues...
It's not a major publisher...
This particular card appears somewhere on AT...
:D
I will do my best to get a bigger clip in the computer (I thought for sure someone would have gotten it by now!!)

This plus clues should give it away!
It's a limited edition deck.

14-04-2006, 10:01
It's the Minute deck, of course! Sheesh.
Card ... umm, my deck is at home and I'm not. Um. 9 of Cups?
LOL Of course! This is the 7 of Swords card from the very wonderful Minute deck by...Chronata!
weaver
jackdaw*
14-04-2006, 10:49
Yes, that yellow! Of course, Weaver, it must be the 7 of Swords :)
Poor Chronata, thinking this would be a lightning round - it was so obvious none of us thought about it! Very sly, our Chronata.
Tell ya what, Weaver: I'm at work and still have the usual posting issues anyway. If you/we are right (and I think we are), we each got half of it. I got the church, you got the pew, so to speak. So if you will post the next clip from your own choice that'd be fair.
QofP
You won this round fair and square, dear QoP! Good eye! Once Chronata declares you the winner, I'll be delighted to help you post a clip if you like. (I do go to work quite early in the morning, though, so I may be out of commission until I return home in the afternoon.)

PM on the way, Weaver :)
I am somewhat embarrassed. I KNEW I recognized this clip....but didn't for a single second think that Chronata would be so tricky! I have been drooling over this deck - and her Midnight Masquerade for some time now....can't believe I didn't make the connection instantly! *doh*!
Chronata
15-04-2006, 01:47
Hee hee hee! Q of P gets this one!
though Weaver gets the karma points for the 7 of swords!
Heh. Gregory once dared me to put one of my own decks up there...didn't guess it would be so tricky! :)
And incidently I have no idea why there's an eye on that card...my subconcious is a strange beast!
Congratulations Queen Of Pentacles!
Here's the whole card...
over to you ...both!
And incidently I have no idea why there's an eye on that card...my subconcious is a strange beast!
Perhaps it's that eye in the sky....watching the sneaky guy run off with the swords - you know - the eye of judgement sees all.
jackdaw*
15-04-2006, 02:04
And Chronata definitely gets points for this one! If anyone else had posted this clip I bet it really WOULD have been a lightning round!
The lovely and talented Weaver has offered to post a clip for me. As soon as she has done so the game is back on.

I love getting new interpretations of my own creations!
OK Here is yet another VERY clever challenge. On behalf of QueenofPentacles, this is the first clip in what should be a fun round.
QoP, do let me know if you want more of the card posted. I am off work for the next three days and will be able to be completely at your command! :laugh:

Hint: I don't think we've ever had a clip from this aspect of a Tarot deck before!
And this is a 78-card deck, not from one of the bigger publishers.
Looks pre-Raphaelite...I don't suppose there is a pre-Raphaelite tarot... (yet!)
There are some pre-ralf images in LoS' Celtic Tarot, in the major arcana, as I recall. This could be one of them, but probably isn't--we're dealing with some very twisted and tricky minds here.
Here's your devils, Q of P:

Ok 2 thinks pop into my mind perhaps a deck by Arnell Ando and the aspect not yet had before perhaps a box or back of a card???????????
Knight of Wands
15-04-2006, 20:18
Is it the Queen of Pentacles?
jackdaw*
15-04-2006, 22:39
la-luna, you're on to something there!
It's not the Queen of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, it's not a Celtic Tarot, magpie, and while it's not pre-Raphaelite, Leo, it has pre-Raphaelite images in it. It has a pretty eclectic mix of imagery.
jackdaw*
15-04-2006, 23:04
Gregory has it! It's the back from the Artist's Inner Vision. I knew the clue would be a giveaway ...
Until Weaver is back around, here's a dark scan of the back that doesn't do it justice at all ...
http://www.tarotpassages.com/aivbk.jpg
Over to you, Gregory!
Oh wow - I just came back to add the word Artists'....
Before I get knocked off again - this may be too easy...
As requested, here is QoP's full card! (What a great deck...even the card backs are outstanding!)
Now...what devilish challenge has gregory posted?! })

Tisn't devilish at all, tis lovely..... I thought you had got it when I saw you had posted !

Thank you, Weaver!
Tisn't devilish at all, tis lovely..... I thought you had got it when I saw you had posted !
No...this old bat's eyes are far too gone to see your clip! I'll need to wait for some hints or an enlargement of the image in order to play this round. This, by the way, is not a complaint about the size of the clip. It is, rather, a comment about my lousy eyesight! :laugh:
(QoP, you are most welcome. :))
weaver
OK then – for old bats and others :D – a larger bit.
I like this deck a lot…..
Oh gregory, you sly one! This is the Page of Swords in the Baroque Bohemian Cat deck!
BTW Even with the enlargement, the only way I got this one was knowing your fondness for this deck! :laugh:
weaver
Indeed I thought that a good clue. But your eyesight is a bit dodgy still; Page of WANDS…… :D
Card attached (with luck; I will post this FIRST and then edit to add the card, the way the phone line is !)
Indeed I thought that a good clue. But your eyesight is a bit dodgy still; Page of WANDS…… :D
LOL Ummmm....I think we can't blame my eyes on this one. Apparently my thinking skills are a bit dodgy, too! When I identified the card, I looked carefully to determine that it was a wands (as opposed to a swords) card, and then wrote the wrong suit in in spite of correctly identifying it!
Whew boy.... :bugeyed: Everything seems to be going belly up!!!!! :laugh: I am living proof that the dumb and blind can play this game. :)
Well anyway, on to the next round! This one comes from a fairly recently released, mass produced deck. Does it look familiar?
weaver
Well of COURSE it does. They ALL do. :P
I thought maybe the Transformational - based on YOUR current affections and the date…. But no…..
– the line just dropped anyway…. So it will do so again in a minute. So I best just watch - it is being spectacularly awful today and I have a reading to do and the 78 card study and….. Sigh…..
Well of COURSE it does. They ALL do. :P
I thought maybe the Transformational - based on YOUR current affections and the date…. But no…...
LOL! No, I haven't posted the Transformational here yet (emphasis on the word yet) thinking it is a bit too newly released. I once caught some flack for posting a clip from the Klimt too close to its publication here in the States so I am holding off using the TT for a while.
While a fairly recently released Tarot, the deck my clip comes from is not brand spanking new. I just checked and it has been around better than a year.

16-04-2006, 22:51
The Fairytale? I want to say the Queen of Pentacles, but it seems that card has been used/guessed pretty often here lately :D
Ummmmmmmm that's interesting. Nothing to do with the game - but on the Comparative forum there has been some discussion about whether the baba decks count as mass produced or as self published. Any thoughts ?
jackdaw*
16-04-2006, 23:24
Hmmmm ... good point. Because they're a small publisher they don't publish in the same VAST quantities of US Games, Lo Scarabeo, etc. I was thinking "mass produced" as opposed to "limited edition". So now I'm not sure...
BlueLotus

It's most probably the Four of Cups from the Lover's Path deck
It's most probably the Four of Cups from the Lover's Path deckRight you are, Blue Lotus! Good eye!!!
On another note altogether, just to avoid possible confusion, I am not sure if I would personally use the words "mass produced" when playing any of the decks published by Magic Realist Press. Then again, I might... I do think they could be referred to as being mass-produced compared with, say, limited edition decks. At any rate, I would certainly feel very comfortable indicating any of the MRP decks are "commonly available".
Ah well...On with the game!!! Here is the complete Lover's Path card.
Over to you BlueLotus! :)

No, sorry weaver it's not MT. In fact it's not even from an LS deck. That should exclude a whole lot of decks.
The artist of this deck has more than one deck to his credit. One had been published by a large publisher.
BlueLotus
17-04-2006, 04:42
Since I'm soon going to disappear for a few hours, and as images of this larger-sized deck are not available on most of your favorite sites, I guess it's fair enough to post a bigger snippet.
I'll be online though for a little while longer to check if anyone may remember it being mentioned on this forum recently.
Is this something by A. Folchi, perhaps?
The only deck I can find of his with large cards listed is the Tarocchi Omaggio a Federico ll. I don't know if it is a recent release, though. At any rate, might this clip be from that deck?
weaver
Stop the presses! Despite the fact that I should be sound asleep, I just had a flash...Is this from the Bacchus Tarot by Luigi Scapini?!

WOW weaver you did it again. :thumbsup:
It's indeed from the Bacchus deck, and the King of Batons/Wands for this matter. Very well done.
Here is the whole card, as I turn the game over to you. I wish you good hunting. . .
Thanks, BlueLotus! The Bacchus Tarot looks to be an interesting deck! Do you like it? Though I love Scapini's artwork, I traded my Medieval Scapini Tarot because I just couldn't easily make out the deck's intricate artwork. Thus, this deck being printed on larger than usual cards is really appealing!
On to a brand new round! Despite the fact that this mass-produced deck was not released all that very long ago, it is currently OOP. The card I have selected is featured in (at least) one of the usual places.
Good luck! (How about some guesses from you lurkers?! :))

Well, weaver I tend to prefer the artwork on the Bacchus as many of the images are really gorgeous, and the size of the cards helps to bring these out, which allows a wider and clearer view of them. I believe that his artwork had matured ;) since his previous decks such as the Lukumi, and the Medieval Scapini.
I am not familiar though with his other decks, i.e. the Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare and the Tarocco delle Vetrate .

Oh, yes... 'tis an actual deck, real and true. And quite RWS-like, in its way. There are so, so, SO many clips I could have posted from this deck that would have given it away immediately, even to those folks who don't own the deck. Heck, with the right clip, a person could simply guess the name without even having heard of the deck.
But, enough teasing. Let me go get an expanded clip, and I'll post it in a moment.

Not the Hallowquest / Legend: Arthurian deck, sorry. But you ought to get beaucoup karma points, BlueLotus, for being the first one to attempt a guess after all this time. :D
Hmmm... can I come up with another hint that doesn't completely give it all away? (Actually, I thought a winner would emerge after the broad pun-hints in GeorgiePorgie's post!)
OK, let's try a few of the basics: 78 cards, fully illustrated, not published by a major publisher.
It's after midnight here; I gotta hit the hay. But if someone guesses it before sunrise here, Georgie can declare a winner (if you're online, Georgie). Or if the guesser is pretty confident in the guess, feel free to proceed with the next round, and I'll post the full card after I get back online.

OK, I'm only hearing crickets again... so let's try a larger clip. Actually, since I scan at 300 dpi (4x actual size on your typical computer screen), bigger clips are going to start getting rejected by the AT system as being too big. So although this is a larger area, the overall size is about the same, since I reduced it back down about 25%.

Wow-too funny! I had the Cosmic years ago and traded it away because I didn't know the names of the movie stars....made me feel stupid, LOL. Seriously though, I either recognize a clip by eye, or I don't get it. I don't go hunting, and the clues alone, however excellent, won't get me the right answer. I am very very visual. Sometimes it pays off! :D

and another: multi-lingual
I think I know what the crickets are chirping-Chirp-chirp-chirp-bigger-clip-chirp-chirp :cool4:
Magpie....I didn't know you spoke cricket! Thanks for interpreting...here's a bigger clip!
Yes, I'm quite fluent in cricket, and several obscure dialects of Ciccada. Is this a 4 of wands, from, saaaay, the Oz deck?
So sorry magpie....it is not the 4 of wands....and it's not from the Oz deck...you DO get karma points for identifying suit though :)
To reiterate clues: Major Publisher, multiple (as in SIX) languages....full 78 card deck.
Six languages - gotta be LS - and I haven't even looked at a clip yet.... Genius or what ? :D
Karma points to Gregory....it IS an LS deck....now for a BIGGER clip....come on all you guessers....I'm almost giving it away!

Well, not that anyone asked, but I will post a larger portion of this snippet.
And by the way, this deck is published in the US, not by a major publisher and comes only as a set. It has some interesting titles and most of the cards including the majors have been renamed .
Anyone there yet ?
BlueLotus
21-04-2006, 23:44
. . . And by the way, this deck is published in the US, not by a major publisher
However, for some reason on this site it's been labelled as published by The major US publisher :confused:
Everywhere else, including the Encyclopedia of Tarot and my own copy confirms what I mentioned above .

I am honestly surprised that this deck so remains unknown to this point.
:arrow:The following clip should probably give it away ( it comprises almost the entire image of the card ). And oh yes I would like to quote the following from the back of the accompanying book:
A Journey through your Self, Relationships, Health, Money and the Material World - a Sacred (Dance)*
This deck which has the additional phrase An intimate Tarot in its title, is not available on Tarotgarden at present, but it had received some very positive reviews here and on another well-known site :thumbsup:
Does anyone remember it now - just maybe a little ? (and a little *hint in this quote shoud also help . . . . !

It's indeed the DoL deck ( such a beautiful and inspiring deck ) and the Seven of Self/Wands ( entitled, The Seven Deadly Sins in this deck ) for that matter.
Here's the entire image of that card, as I turn the game over to you, I wish you a less frustrating round ;)
Thank you for the good wishes, BlueLotus. Here's one I hope will not be too difficult or discouraging...I just love this image..
8 views, no guesses---time for a bigger clip, I think!
First WILD guess probably completely off but it’s the only one that comes in mind.........
Is it the “Medieval Scapini Tarot” ?
Hey Magpie9 - How about some clues? I love the image too, just don't recognize it!
This is from the Bacchus Tarot! It is the King of Cups card.
It is funny because this is the second time this week the Bacchus has been featured here!

And weaver has it! (Is this a surprise to anyone? ...no, I didn't think so..) I remember that the Bacchus was here recently--but I hadn't realized it was that recently.

weaver this deck is absolutely gorgeous. I like to look through the cards and go into an altered state of consciousness ( half jokingly ). If you like the Tarot Roots of Asia, you would probably love this one.
The artwork is very professionally and artistically done, but the colors may be a bit confining . Mostly shades of purple and pink although there are also blue, red and orange shades here and there at times. ( The Majors have purple linings, Disks have light green , Cups' are light blue, and Wands are pink and Swords' are pale yellow )
I am not sure this can be a good readable deck ( at least not for me ), thus I keep it as a collector's deck, although I would have preferred a sturdier less slippery cardstock, such as the one on the other Transformation tarot .
Thanks so much for the information on the Tarot of Transformation, BlueLotus! I really appreciate it. :love:
Since there have been NO guesses in my absence, I think a larger clip is called for. I have to run out for about an hour, but, when I return, I'll post a few hints, too. :)

I don't suppose it's the Dance of Life Tarot is it? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong....I wonder if Degas did a Tarot deck???
I don't suppose it's the Dance of Life Tarot is it? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong....I wonder if Degas did a Tarot deck???

By way of a first hint, this deck is currently available but only in a limited edition format.
weaver

Whoops, Keigh, I owe you an apology. I guess I was trying to do too many things at the same time when I initially responded to your post. For some inexplicable reason, I didn't notice your Dance of Life guess. My LOL was in response to your Degas inquiry. (I think I am losing my marbles....:bugeyed:)
At any rate, no this isn't from the Dance of Life deck. This deck is self-published and, as already mentioned, is a limited edition deck.
Here is yet a larger clip to help put things in perspective!
weaver
Here is an even larger clip. At this point, I am posting practically the entire card. The only additional hint I can think to provide here is that this self-published, limited edition deck became available relatively recently.
As was the case yesterday, I'll be off to work soon. A person with a correct guess is most welcome to proceed with the game in my absence.
Good luck!

no idea but still guessing you never know going on the hints i would say the "Creative Fire Tarot"?

26-04-2006, 19:47
I'm pretty sure I'm wrong... but this clip strongly reminds me of one that we had quite a while ago, and that was from the Artist's Inner Vision Tarot...?
Good guesses, but it is neither the Creative Fire Tarot or The Artist's Inner Vision deck. I don't know what the Creative Fire deck looks like, but I do think this card looks like it could have come from the Artist's Inner Vision Tarot.
This deck was made available around 6 (+-) months ago. This particular card is a Major Arcana.

To me this looks straight out of the Tarot of Prague, but that is not a limited edition, and has been around for a while, unless something has changed since I have been away. So...I will toss it out there, just in case! Tarot of Prague?
Is it the "Flying Hearts" tarot? Or maybe the "Jumbledance"?
None of the guesses are correct thus far. I can't really give much more of the card so I'll try to give better hints. As already noted, this is a self-published, limited edition Tarot deck that came out around 6 or so months ago. The deck's creator lives in the States. Before it was available as a real life deck, it was posted in it's entirety on the artist's website on the internet. The deck has been discussed here on the Forum.
Well, that is the best I can come up with to offer you by way of hints. Any guesses?

Why is this one such a toughie? :DI have no idea, dear Chronata. It is a deck that has been identified here before. Perhaps rather than keying in on the picture per se, the best approach to playing this round might simply be to follow the clues. What self published deck was released this past Autumn that is a limited edition deck? What deck had an on-line following before it was actually printed into a salable deck?

Here is a bit more of the card. As far as I can make out, this deck was published in the mid-nineties. There was also a full sized book written specifically for it. I am certain the deck was sold individually. I think it was also available as a deck/book set. It was mass produced and quite popular. It is a full 78 card deck. Oh, BTW, the book written for the deck was not authored by the deck's creator.

01-05-2006, 02:56
Thanks, BlueLotus! Actually, it was a fabulous clip. But you know how it goes... sometimes you just hit something that's from one of someone's favorite decks, and just the right card that they know by heart. That's what happened here. Usually I'm unsure enough that when I see a clip that I think I can ID, I still won't do it without at least checking my copy of the deck first. With this one, there was no doubt in my mind at all. It was "luck of the draw," to use an appropriate metaphor.
OK, I've got the next round ready to go. I'll admit -- this one's almost certainly a super-toughie. I'll start to give copious hints fairly quickly, and probably post some additional info or a bigger scan after each (incorrect) guess if I can. Usually I wouldn't post a round this difficult, but at the moment, this particular tarot has my attention, and I'm sort of anxious to share it. And there are at least two places I know of where it's documented, so even though I doubt it's included in the collection of any of the players here (possibly gregory; I haven't checked her list, but if I were to bet against her having a particular tarot, this is one where I might take the risk), the information is accessible.
Keep in mind that I scan the clips at 300 dpi -- that's 4x actual size. This is a very tiny tarot. If I try to be "fair" and expand enough to make a discernable difference each time I post another clip, it won't take long to expose the whole image. That's sort of your first hint.
OK, enough babbling. Here's the clip, and good luck to all! I'd love to see someone surprise me by getting on the first go-'round!

A good starter guess, HearthCricket. The images are small and rather simple. But not quite as simple as the Paschkis Tarot Nova.
But a good guess deserves at least another clue. This tarot is pre-1980, and is majors-only.
(And, BTW, I did check gregory's list. If she's got it, she doesn't have it listed.)

Yes, that pretty much sums it up. And it's not the sort of thing that was distributed through what you might call "normal channels" for the tarot-buying crowd. So it's no surprise that it's a pretty rare item among the collections here (and they are legion on the AT boards -- *grin*...).

Jeannette
01-05-2006, 04:21
Actually, there is a “Vending Machine Tarot” listed in Kaplan (vol. 3, I think) -- but this isn't it. And yet, you are not far wrong, HearthCricket. I don't know anything more about the origins of this tarot other than what's covered in Kaplan (there -- there's one of your potential reference sources; no one here should have to think very hard to guess the other!), but it's not outside the realm of possibility that vending machines were one place where this tarot could be obtained.

Sorry, HearthCricket... it's not the "Magician" card... although that was originally my first choice to scan. However, I decided to stick with an image that could be found online, since I already knew this would be a tricky one.

Another attempt at Karma points...is it a Chariot card?
Jeannette
01-05-2006, 07:40
Sorry, Leo -- not the "Chariot" either. Here's a larger segment that should at least answer the question of "which card?," if not "which tarot?"
(BTW -- astute players may have noticed that I've stuck to using terms such as "tarot" and "image" when referring to this selection -- never "deck" or "card.")

MatchBox tarot - is there such a thing?
HearthCricket
01-05-2006, 11:25
Well, I am just taking a guess, but I will say it is the Tarot of the Matchbox or Tarot of the Matches?
Jeannette
01-05-2006, 11:56
GeorgiePorgie and HearthCricket -- well, technically, neither of you has the title correct, although you both are definitely on the right track. Since this, um, "item" has an official name, I'll hold out just a bit longer on declaring a winner. Now that you're getting "hot" (pun not originally intended, but noted and retained, hee hee!), a simple search on the right key word(s) via the, ahem, "right source" should reveal exactly what you need.

The Eddy Match Tarot :)
Jeannette
01-05-2006, 12:28
You got it, HearthCricket -- good for you! Persistence pays off.
Yes, it's the "Star" from the Eddy Match Tarot from 1972. It's listed in Kaplan III, as well as the Tarot Garden website. I just recently got around to putting our library copy into the database. The attached full scan shows the open cover, with the image on both sides (which means one copy is reversed when the cover is flattened out).
Your turn, HearthCricket -- you worked hard, and deserve to take the reins for the next round!

Animals Divine ? (My phone is looking up. I hope it stays that way.... not perfect - but hey.....)
HearthCricket
01-05-2006, 22:24
Yes, indeed! It is Kutkinnaku, the Knight of Swords, from Animals Divine-a lovely deck! Congrats, Gregory! Here is the entire card. Over to you!
Wow. I don't often get one by thinking "well, that is the art work of........" :!:
Bit of a shock that. Give me a while.... Back shortly.
OK guys. Not too hard, I suspect....
- here's a clip.
Dear me. 7 hours, 9 views and silence. OK here is a not very much bigger clip. I don't want to hit anything TOO obvious yet.
But it is 78 cards and this is a major. And it was first issued by a small publisher and then by a big one.
And guess what - the phone, er.....
:mad:
i think it's a world card but with deck........not the fruitsalad-tarot i'm sure :D
Not fruit salad - and not the world either - sorry (NOT).
Have a bigger clip. And - let's see - it has featured in the game before; it is published in the US; it is in print. The suits are re-named.....
Oh geez. I have to go home now and who knows what will happen next.
Here is a bigger clip yet. I guess it is kind of themed - it is certainly funny, and it has review/s AND THIS CARD featured here.
I hope this will get sorted OK - I may not be on line again for many hours....like till work tomorrow - so if it gets solved..... go ahead !
Better a bad guess than none
one thing im sure of is that i don't have it in my collection
is it the "gummibear tarot" ?
HearthCricket
02-05-2006, 22:21
Hmm...still working on the deck part, but is this the Lover's Card?
It is indeed the lovers (spot the arrow !); it is NOT the gummibears.
Its appearance from a major publisher was in 2004. It had been out for a while before that, all by its little self. ("Little" is me being silly, not that it's a little deck.)
Did anyone note the clue about the suits ?????
Definatly noticed it---don't know what to do with it as yet.
Carry it till you see someone you really fancy and then.................
Oh, you meant the suits :P. The arrow would be more FUN.....
Better a bad guess than none
one thing im sure of is that i don't have it in my collection
Actually la-luna - now that I have a moment not being at work to check - you DO have it..... :P Get to work.....

(and no I don't have the Eddy Matches. I WISH. I am told you could only get them one at a time at the time; someone I know got 6... Is this true ???)
Its the "Tarot of the Dead" i'm sure !

Well done Jeannette ! And you couldn't tell that it was (drumroll) the Llewellyn version ? SHAME on you ;)

(and no I don't have the Eddy Matches. I WISH. I am told you could only get them one at a time at the time; someone I know got 6... Is this true ???)
Do you mean six "cards," or six copies of the set? I don't know anything about that. The Tarot Garden library copy has 22 "cards," but the "Devil" is duplicated and it's missing the Wheel of Fortune. On the forums, Adam (McLean) and Gerbear have each said that they have the Eddy Match Tarot in their collections.
OK, since I was so awful-terrible-mean-hard last time I had the reins on this game, I'll be nicer this time. A little. This is a massmarket deck. Good luck with the first clip!

This looks mighty LS-ish to me! And it looks like the Ace of Swords. It also looks familiar, but isn't what I thought it was. So I will take a stab in the dark...Tarot of Atlantis?
HearthCricket
04-05-2006, 09:17
Or even a better guess....The Avalon Tarot?
Jeannette
04-05-2006, 12:12
Karma points for ID'ing the Ace of Swords, HearthCricket. But this is not an LS deck. But I figured folks would take it for one... it has that so-called "cartoony" look that is often ascribed to the LS decks.
Another clip, another hint: massmarket yes, LS no. And... although mass market and still in print, the deck no longer has direct distribution in North America (although it did at one time).
-- Jeannette
The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
Looks vaguely Nordic...
Norse Tarot?
Jeannette
05-05-2006, 00:13
Sorry, folks. Not the Norse or the Merlin. Those are both OOP, and this deck remains in print.
I have to run out now for my morning DDR workout, but when I get back, I'll post a larger clip if needed. 'Til then, remember: the deck is massmarket, in print, but without direct North American distribution at present (though it had a fair amount of North American distribution in the past). That means not a North American publisher, and I've already said it's not Lo Scarabeo. That should narrow the field a bit.
-- Jeannette

Oops! Mea culpa, gregory! Yes, I now see that I hadn't updated the publication status on the Merlin listing. Shame on me! Well, consider that problem fixed.
Gee... I didn't think I picked one that would be quite this hard. I've posted a larger clip here, although maybe this won't help. You'll see the card title starting to appear at the bottom -- but since HearthCricket already ID'd it for the karma points, it should come as no surprise.

Jeannette
05-05-2006, 02:50
...I bet it is on Gregory's list!
Indeed it is. In fact, according to gregory's profile list, she has two versions of this deck (although this card would only appear in one of them).
-- Jeannette
The Tarot Garden (http://www.tarotgarden.com?rs=3378)
Oh heck a 22 and 78.... off she goes (NOT) :D
OK so I did…
Arcus Arcanum. I had discounted that as most cards are so much BRIGHTER than that….!
Clip later; one has to EAT…. :D
Jeannette
05-05-2006, 11:06
Sorry for the late acknowledgment, gregory -- Qwest had a major outage in this area, and it took down the Internet on this side of town.
And of course, you're completely correct -- it's the "Ace of Swords" from the Arcus Arcanum deck. I suppose it's not the most distinctive card in the deck... but I sort of like the way the hilt of the sword shows through that "airy" hand.
Over to you, whenever you're ready.

I also like the Tarot of a Moon Garden deck. In fact it was one of the first decks I drooled over early on, but I added it much later on due to the various decks that were on the market by then.
Anyway, enough rambling. I hope that my next snippet will be familiar to some . This is from a deck that's in print.
I dunno...
Maybe the Akron Tarot?

Some Majors have been re-named, and the Minors and Courts have been identified by their respective Elements. ;)

06-05-2006, 20:42

This deck was published in the US less than 2 years ago, and not by any major publisher. The creator of this deck has a more popular over-sized deck with great fairytale artwork, that had appealed to adults as well as to children.

is it the "Renaissance Tarot" by Brian Williams ?
Still no guesses?! Wow...And to think I though this would be a lightening round.
OK This deck has been available for a few years. It is produced by one of the big guys and is a theme deck. Aesthetically speaking, I have seen it compared to a very well known deck.
Any guesses? I'll be heading out to work not too long from now. If someone knows they are guessing this one correctly, go ahead with the game. I'll post the entire card when I return home.

It isn't the Egorov or the Golden. Not too surprisingly, gregory has this one. Indeed, so do you, HearthCricket. By way of a hint, I just knew you both would!

thanks for a good round, blueLotus--and for picking the Northern Shadows.
It's a favorite of mine--I really love that deck. Finally getting the companion book to it opened it up for me--that and reading some norse mythology. But to me, that's the beauty in theme decks--you get to learn so much about various cultures!
Here's the next one, and it'll either be a lightening round---or not ? ( DUH...) I think that if you have seen this deck before, you'll recognize it instantly.
good luck!
U.S. Games is the sole authorized distributor of AGM products in North America, so is often confused as the publisher for AGM decks.

Thanks for the clarification! This was one of the first decks that crossed my mind when I returned home from work and spotted the clip. I then checked and found it is listed on this site and elsewhere as being published by US Games. I don't exactly know what the answer is in terms of providing accurate hints in the future. Obviously the hint was technically correct but rather deceiving to anyone playing the game that does not actually own the deck given the information available on-line.
At any rate, great job, Magpie! It is good to get to see the entire card!

Northern Shadows! Of course!
I should have known that...as my spouse owns that deck...
Now...the new one...ooh...it looks a bit computer-y
How about the WorldTree?
Not Ironwing or World Tree--but here's a bigger clip as a reward for guessing! :party:
its the Fool from the "Alchemical Wedding Tarot"
oooooOOOOOOO!!! :party: WE HAVE A WINNER!! :party:
:thumbsup: La Luna! You are the Bee's Knee's!! :thumbsup:
Ok first job this morning post a new one
Lets see how fast (or slow this one goes)
its the Fool from the "Alchemical Wedding Tarot"
Goodness. On my screen the clip looked coloured. WEIRD. (I do have this deck, too :(.)
Goodness. On my screen the clip looked coloured. WEIRD. (I do have this deck, too :(.)
I have to admit I was lucky enough to see it under my desk so it just popped into me!
(Don’t ask I have between 50 to 60 decks under there – others are scattered around my room so if I have to find one it can be very hard to find… )
more than 5 hours and still no guesses time for a bigger clip
6 hours passed many looked no one guessed
time for once more a bigger clip
an a hint this deck is OOP and +- 20 years old
My what a weird looking clip..... Thinks.... 20 years. I must to my database....
My what a weird looking clip..... Thinks.... 20 years. I must to my database....
ok perhaps not a real clue I have it (DUH ) and Gregory has it (SUPERDUH )
mythos thinks ... I'll get super sneaky here. I pulled up both profiles to compare deck lists ... arrrrrgggghhhh! I knew of course that gregory's deck list was a never-ending story of decks, but la-luna .... yours is too! So all my sneaky instinct activation was a complete waste.
The imagery looks familiar in the clip ... but ... I just don't know!
mythos:)
Does the whole deck look like that?
................there may be a reason it's out of print.......:cool5:
Time for a bigger clip and some (hopefully) helpful hints
- From the nineties
- OOP
- Patterned after the Thoth tarot
- European
- 78 cards

Ah, that must be my problem. Not exhausted enough. Last night I was being chased by my new Morgan-Greer deck (they were huge cards with feet), and last week I found myself hovering over a desk, creating a new deck...which is very funny, since I am not an artist! :D
You got it Jeanette. I figured the background would be a dead give-away. jmd has a copy so I have been fortunate enough to see it 'in the flesh' so to speak. For me it is one of those decks to die for. Maybe I'll ask jmd to leave me his in his will ... of course I will then have to murder him because he is bound to live longer than me :joke: The violence of deck collecting :bugeyed:

Thanks, mythos... yes, once one sees the Felicité, one doesn't easily forget it. And it's definitely one that has a larger impact when seen "in person" than from just the scans on the 'Net, which don't do it justice at all.

It IS a Wands' court card, but not the Queen, but Karma points for you. The name of some court cards in this deck, which you have in your collection as well as la-luna, had been altered a bit.
And since a picture speaks louder than words, I will include another image which will reveal about 1/3rd of the whole image of that card.

Here's a little bit of a diversion.
This clip is from an in-print mass market themed deck, by a a non-US publisher, but is distributed by a major US publisher . The latter is often confused as being the actual publisher
Good luck everyone ;)
It's Death....
I'm guessing a Lo Scarabeo (which are distributed by Llewellyn, and have caused some confusion further up this thread :D). Off to do some research.... but not for long as I have to go out....
Though I have been avidly following this game recently, I haven't been home enough to play. Today is no exception. Still, my bet is that this is a deck that is attributed to US Games.

I am going to take a completely wild guess, so no laughing! Is this from the Merryday Tarot?
I'm thinking High Priestess ....but no deck comming to mind yet
It isn't the Merryday nor is it a High Priestess card. Here are a few hints. I believe I am correct in saying that this deck is mass produced. I know I am correct that the publisher is not one of the big guys. It is readily available here in the States from places like Amazon.
This deck is rather odd. The style of artwork varies quite a bit from card to card. It is available in the States (and I imagine elsewhere) as a deck or deck/book set.
This card is one of the cards featured here in the deck's review.
Any guesses? (I may need to run out again so please forgive me in advance if there is a delay between a guess and my response.)
weaver
Alrighty, in that there hasen't been a guess for a while, here is a larger clip. As already mentioned, the artwork in this deck's cards is stylistically really quite a mish-mash. That is true of the orientation of the artwork featured on the cards as well.

I haven't been able to find this image online and don't recognize it....but I'm guessing that the plant/tree/vine thing is the "actor" here....perhaps there are no people on these cards?
Brilliant, Keigh! there is no person on this card, but there are some fairly weird looking people on some of the cards from this deck. It is not Lewellen or US Games, but it is an American deck. It is a full 78 cards, and was published in 1998.

Renaissance Tarot, by Williams?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread. Anyone who's tried to visit the Tarot Garden website in the last four hours knows that we've been having some... challenges again. My incoming email wasn't even coming in. But at least I can get out on the Internet now. My husband is rebooting the server to see if that brings the website up again.
Anyway, back to the game: 'tis not the Renaissance Tarot, HearthCricket. But any bold guess deserves another clue or clip.
So, here's another clip.

Alright -- I guess this round may be a bit of a stumper. I'm heading to bed momentarily, but here's another couple o' clues to invigorate the old brain synapses while I get some shuteye: this deck was published in the 21st century, and is not published in North America.
See ya all in a few hours!

Sorry to slow the game down -- what a day this turned out to be! (But it's a good busy...)
Alrighty, after 12 hours and no guesses, a bigger clip must be called for. I'll get this posted, then check some player profiles to see if anyone has it (although it probably goes without saying that gregory is likely to have it!)

OK, I checked a bunch of profiles, as well as the Tarot Garden sales records. gregory has this one; I'm surprised that I couldn't find any of the other current regulars who do (unless you've not added it to your lists).
So, maybe a few more clues are in order. This deck is published in (Northern) Europe, possibly by the artist, but if not, then for sure by a very small press operation. The artist is female. I believe I mentioned earlier that the deck was published sometime in the last 5 years, and contains a full 78 cards with illustrated pips.
I'll hold off the really big clue for just a bit longer, as once I spill that info, a search on the right criteria (at least, on a certain website we all know and hopefully love, heh, heh) should bring up a correct hit pretty quickly.

(Sorry, been busy. And then of course the ATF site crashed..... )
Going to bed now; I'll take a clip to work in case I'm right.... which I am :P; I got the deck out while I was waiting for the site to get back on stream ! Nightmare packaging..... (I keep them all intact. Maybe not such a good idea....)

Oh OK here's my clip - and you have at least 10 hours before I shall return, so take your time. We Europeans sleep at strange times by your standards !
It is a lot easier, I swear it is ! But it's a bit little....
OK, just under the wire before work: this is a 78 card mass market deck. LOTS of people here have it. Bigger clip.
No, not the Eden - more mass market than that, as you might say ! And quite recent but not brand new. Very available.
I'll post a bigger clip before I leave work to PICK UP MY NEW CAR !!!!! :D
OK - as I head off into the Lake District to get my car: bigger clip, and it was published this century.
This clip may actually give it away on the spot; please feel free to verify and carry on if I'm not home when it's solved :D

24-05-2006, 22:34
I am going to take a shot in the dark. Is this the Tarot of the White Cats?
How about the "Animal Lords"?
Not White Cats but (*drumroll*) Mags has it - it is indeed the Animal Lords. That's a relief; the next clip would have been a dead giveaway, and I have to go to choir practice. (In my new blue car :D.)
Ove to you, Chicken. Well done !
Here's the card. The High Priestess.
...and off she goes, tootling around in her nifty new car.....
I'm thinking that this is a deck she may not own...})
OMG!!! :bugeyed: She doesn't!!! :eek:
It looks like the Drogi....... but if I don't own it it can't be :D Just as well - it's past my bedtime.
I LOVE MY CAR !!!!!! It is ever so blue.....
I see how the colors in the clip could mislead you into drogi-likeness, but no.
(chants with some sort of attempt at rhythm....) New clip, New clip, bigger better New clip!!!! I don't suppose there's an "arabian night" tarot is there? It looks kinda like that to me....
Whoops! Here ya go. BTW, it's a 22 card deck.
This is it for the night for me, guys. If someone solves it in the night, please post the card and continue the game--don't wait for me.
Best of luck, all!
Weird; looks familiar (I wish I weren't at work.... then again, don't I always ?) Are you SURE I don't have it ?
Death, I presume ?
22 cards and ol’Gregs doesn’t have it that means limited edition and very recent. (I think)
The horseman looks a bit Spanish but further than that….
If you have it, gregs, it's under a completely different name than it appears as here at AT and in TG database....
Yes, it is Death.
It's not recent, it's from the last century. Yes to Limited edition, la-luna. Spanish? No. It comes from a different direction entirely - With this deck the phrase, "Go West, Young Man" would send you off in a totally wrong direction.....
Here's a bigger bit.
With this deck the phrase, "Go West, Young Man" would send you off in a totally wrong direction.....
Are you talking metaphorically or geographically? If geographic 'west' or 'east' is relative to your place on the planet? And no, I doubt that having the answer to this will make any difference at all to whether I could or could not (not) guess the card!
mythos:)
Geographical, from an European perspective (I know, I know neither of us live in Europe...) there's the west of Europe, there's Eastrn Europe there's Southern Europe, there's Northern Europe. there's the Middle East and and the Far East...and of course, the western continents of America and the eastern contiment of Australia....why do I feel this is not helping much??
OK--better clue-- Eastern publisher, 1998. Square cards....In Kaplin IV - I'm giving it away here, folks.
Jeannette
26-05-2006, 11:10
Yeah, that pretty much spelled it out. But I'll hang back and give someone else a shot at it.

And then there are Hemispheres to consider. East of me is New Zealand and South America, and West ... well, a whole hunk of Australia, and then after a long swim ... African via Madagascar. Drats it ... don't have volume IV yet ... Square cards make me think of the
Mandala Astrological tarot by A T Mann. Mandala indicating East, even though the deck was published in the UK.
Presumably the Death Card.
Whaddya Reckn?
mythos:) who doesn't have this deck and is just playing, because I don't think that the UK counts as eastern publishing :bugeyed:

I don't know, but it is on Annabelle's wishlist!
On mine too, now..... It IS pretty !
When will we get it confirmed that I am right ? (it is so obvious now I've found it in Kaplan !) - I have a clip ready to roll :D I don't usually, but was scanning a load of stuff yesterday and decided to make sure I have "one I prepared earlier" ready in future !
Here I am, confirming, gregory....it is indeed the starlot, death card.
Mythos, you are such a tease to one who has no sense of direction at all--the only way I can get around in the town I live in is by remembering that the always-visable mountains are always in the East....and the Volcanos are west....I try not to thiink too much about north and south, it gives me a headache........ :D But the Starlot was published by a Japanese Publisher, in what I think of as the Far East. ;)
Hello then people - here is a new clip. Enjoy. Well known, much owned; shouldn't be a problem. Maybe. :D

Hi la-luna.
This is quite a challenge alright.
Let me get the following decks out of the way first before I go check others in my collection, although I doubt that it is in my collection .
Could it be from the Klimt, or maybe the Visconti Sforza, or perhaps the Luminescent tarots (not sure if there is a deck by this latter name )?

Wow. I have no idea, yet, what deck this is, but if the picture is what I think it is, I will go for Karma points. Is this either an Empress or a World card? (hoping...hoping...)
O dear no luck it’s none of those 2 cards
So no Karma points sorry but feel free to make some more guesses.

Well, then, it isn't what I thought it was, so I will try one more time for Karma. The Star?
Now off to look at some decks!
No not the Gilded
(and no other of LLewellyn)
What about the Quest tarot? Although I do not remember if this one is Llewellyn (mine came without box).
not the quest no

Let’s see what you can make of this one……I tried to be a nice person in posting it so good luck! })
O.K. is the picture of one card with cards imposed on it? Is the picture of several cards in the deck? Is it the Stained Glass deck?

I knew that was a Folchi deck from the very first clip, but didn't have time to figure out which one before I had to breeze out the door today!
Having returned, with just a brief moment to catch my breath, I can now say with confidence that what you've got there is your basic "Magician" card from the Tarocco Storico del Palio di Pistoia.

But, oh, geez -- what to do, what to do. Surrounded by decks, and not a card to choose (a lot of really obscure ones, and I don't have most of the ones at hand in the Tarot Garden database yet...).

Jeannette
01-06-2006, 23:18
Sorry, HearthCricket -- the Magow sort of fits the hints, I suppose, but in the end, is not correct. Let's see... what other hints can I give without totally giving it away?

Sorry, no. The other cards are "in progress", if this helps anyone; it is self published; the majors and four aces were issued in quite a large limited edition. The deck is featured here but not this card; all cards are viewable on the artist's site.... (and in orphalese) Larger clip is here.....

No, Weaver and HearthCricket, it's neither the Pythagorean nor the Metamorphosis.
But since you both gave it a shot, here are a few more clues. This is a deck that was published ( not too long ago ) in the US by a major publisher, and it's a themed deck.
BlueLotus
04-06-2006, 00:22

Here's a larger clip that would be a rather give-away one.
But for the record, the minors in this deck were all re-named as well as the court cards and many of the majors. Besides, the popular theme in this deck has been repeated by a few other creators in the tarot deck business.

It's indeed the Magician from the Housewives Deck.
The full image of that card will follow in an instant, as I turn the game over to you. I wish you a pleasant round .
Thank you! I am actually on the waiting list at TG for this deck! It looks like fun!!
Okay...here comes the next round. Clip #1, In print.

5 hours, 8 views, no guesses. No one wants to play with me. :(
In print, not 78 cards (so, is it more or less??) and what I think would be considered Mass Market. Anyone want to list what companies are considered Mass Market for me to confirm that??
New clip. Good luck!

Thank you HearthCricket. The Kazanlar is indeed a beautiful deck with intricate delicate artwork.

Hee hee! Actually, it was the little purple bubbles and the crab. I have been going through my decks recently and remembered that crab specifically! Fun round.
Okay...clip #1. Mass Market, in print. Good luck!
Well it's got to be a 5 of Pents LOL. Art Nouveau?

It is indeed the Five of Pentacles, so Karma points to you! However, it is neither of the Art Nouveau decks. Try again! :)

Thanks HearthCricket! I realize I probably shouldn't have played this round because I am not going to be home until tomorrow afternoon.

You make me so proud, Gregory! Yes! This is the Hermit card from The Ancient Tarot of Lombardy, 1810, LS reproduction, and a very nice quality one at that.

Well, this "looks" Elizabethan, like an Elizabethan home, or maybe even the Globe Theatre, but every deck I can think of is still in print. At least with colours like this. But I will try, anyhow...there is one Shakesperian Tarot that is out of print (published by Aquarius). Is this from that?
BlueLotus
08-06-2006, 21:17
It's the Buckland Romani's deck, and the Ace of Koshes ( Staves ) for this matter.
It is indeed - and just under the wire while I am still at work. So I can upload FAST - bless you ! here's the card.
Over to you, you clever person.

At any rate, on to a new round! This clip comes from a mass produced, in print, 78 card deck. Might this be a lightening round?!

We are going out for a few hours so I decided before leaving the house it might be high time to offer a larger clip and a hint. This deck is, I think, at least reasonably popular. It has been knocking around for about three years.
