I had a dream a week ago and in my dream a reader did a spread for me with a deck which I have not seen before, well not in this life anyway. One of the cards that I remember the most had a skeleton on it which I assume is the death card. The name of the card was called SKELETON or possibly THE SKELETON. A friend told me that he saw an image in a book of a Mediaeval Tarot deck once with such a card but could not remember the name of the deck. Can anyone help me out please? I think I have had a past life dream and want to buy this deck. Thanks

Hi! I think that this skeleton card might be found in the BOTA deck. The Death card has a skeleton holding a scythe in his hands - sunrising in the background. Sound familiar? One more thing - the skeleton's face is smiling. Hope this helps!

I've got it :-) Don't forget the recently severed heads, hands, and feet that liter the ground around and behind the skeleton.

Hi crystals, The 1JJ swiss is an older traditional deck, and La Mort (Death) is also a skeleton holding a scythe. This deck is in french, also french mediaeval style but the Minor cards have no scenes. Hope this is of help to you :)
