I'm newly afflicted with TOAD, but I'm finding that this disease progresses frighteningly quickly.
I bought a Noblet majors reproduction deck on a whim a couple of months ago. Didn't even know what it was! But just that limited exposure was enough to contract this cursed illness. In my case, I seem to have come down with the strain that is especially resistant to historic Marseilles and similar reproduction decks.
Since the Noblet, I've bought 4 more decks: the stunning Vaccheta and the Jodo-Camoin, with the Vandenborre and the Gassman Majors on order. And I'm currently running a high fever for the Burdel reproduction. (Such beautiful colors!!)
Even worse, my symptoms include not just decks, but book purchases too! I've been unable to control the urge to buy 3 physical books and 3 kindle books, all on either the history of tarot or on reading the Marseilles deck.
I've tried to inoculate myself by selling a few of my Lenormand and oracle decks, but I just used the proceeds for the tarot decks. So that seems to be encouraging the growth of this virulent plague, rather than helping me to recover. And I find myself hoping to sell more Lenormands and oracles, which, I believe is an indicator that my case of TOAD is likely very grave indeed.
Is there no cure?!?
