Have you noticed that the King of Cups in Cosmic Tarot, looks like Clark Gable?? And the Queen of Wands looks like Elizabeth Taylor??? I was wondering if anyone else noticed this...and if it was a big coincidence...or I just watch too many old movies. :) Love an light, destiny

while i don't have this deck--yet--it's been ordered, my understanding is that the cards are based on movies stars. i don't know who those particular cards are supposed to be--yet, but it's likely that you are right. do you have the accompanying cosmic tarot book? your questions might be answered there. i understand it helps a lot w/ the deck so i've ordered it, too.

Yeah I hav the book...the menaings to those court cards give a good interpretation of what those celebrities were like that I know of, but it doesn't come out and say, "This is a picture of Clark Gable." Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot.

The Cosmic is on my list too, but not on an extremely high position. And why is that? Well beause I just wasn't too fond of the fact that the court cards looked so Hollywood-ish...! Then somebody told me the Hollywood thing was actually meant to be, and that there's a Sean Connery-king and a Tom Cruise-knight in there - besides from the ones you've already mentioned! Now I think it's kind of funny, and I will get me one - there's just about ten decks I will get before that one, but I WILL get it...! :D Jenny

Hello, that´s interesting - did never realize it! Who are the ones on the Lovers cards? :-) Greetings, Kimon

My soul sister Faunabay just sent me this deck and it was so much more than I thought it would be! I really really like the deck! I'm not sure who the lovers are but Sean Connery is the King of Wands ... I had heard that the book talked a little about that ... I sure hope so, I ordered it today from Amazon. Anyway, there are quite a few neat things about the deck that really tie the deck together nicely (views from windows and landscapes tie to other cards for example). I am really going to enjoy exploring this deck!
