I had a tarot-browsing fit not too long ago (I'm sure I'm not the only one ;-) ) and came across this beautiful deck. I had the presence of mind to save the picture, but not the url or the name.
(>_<)\ <--smacks self in head
Does anyone know the name, and perhaps the site where this deck is posted?
Thank you for your help!

It's beautiful - is it really a Tarot deck? What language is it in?

It's a Hungarian deck, with card titles in Hungarian. It also includes a book by the tarot's creator, Schmidtne Dr. Hollo Erzsebet. The book is in Hungarian as well, but appears to claim that Erzsebet is one of Hungary's premiere psychics.
The deck as 24 cards -- 22 of which use non-standard imagery but thematically correpond to the "standard" major arcana. The other two cards simply have Hungarian words on them -- my guess is that they're Hungarian for "Yes" and "No."
Hope this helps.

I have the Celtic Dragon Tarot in CZECH if anyone is interested, a friend bought it for me while in Germany.
