I have been curious about this deck for years but never even put it on my wishlist. Tell us more about it Caitlin. Starfish the lines you see accross the images connecect and form a design ... not sure what though *LOL*.

Using the Lovers Card (6) as a reference, lay cards 1-10 in a line, top to bottom. Then lay cards 11-19, in reverse order, in a line to the right (eg, 11 at the bottom, 19 at top). The result is two shadowy outlines of the male & female figures in the Lovers card. The head of the male is visible in the background of the Magician card. As it happens, the head of the man's penis turns up on the right hand side of the Lovers card, though you'll never notice unless you really look for it. The male image represents the Tree of Life, the female image is the Tree of Knowledge. The remaining major arkana cards bridge the two.. :THP

I had this one, but sold it. I just couldn't connect with it. The cards seemed too cold.

That puzzle kept me busy for hours, and I still haven't managed to do it... Although I will try again now that Lili has given us the asnwer! I donot like this deck for readng at all... It has hardly any symbolism, nd those geometric lines just get n my nerves... The Minors arealso unillustratred, whichI peronally do not get on with... But I am keepng this deck because o that very interesting concept of the Tree of Life puzzle! Kiama

This deck has been off and on my wishlist for ages! Now that I know you can do a puzzle with the cards, it's back on again. :D How cool, I really want to see this! ~aeonx~

catlin	20 Jun 2002
I just added the Adrian to my collection because it looks cool. You don't have to stick to symbolism, just let your intuition flow. That is why I got it.

Ah, the lovely Adrian deck. This was the deck I wanted most for the longest time. I put off purchase because I was afraid of the pip cards. While I am truly in love with the beauty of this deck, though it is digital, I have not been able to do a damned thing with it besides look at it. It sits in my box, in a barrowed (or shared at least) case, and I haven’t pulled it out in months. The background image is of the lovers from the same deck. You can find photo’s of the puzzle pieced together (though I think I may have missed one card perhaps) here. http://www.geocities.com/sorceress_jade/cards.html I gave a full review to AT, if anyone is serious about buying this deck. I’m not saying not to, by any means, but be prepared for this deck to be an addition to your collection, rather then a useful companion.

Liliana	23 Jun 2002
Thats exactly why its been on my wishlist longest, its been there years because it keeps being bumped down for more useable decks THE ORIGINAL :THP

Phoenix, do you mean the back of the cards? I've seen some images of the deck, which I personally didn't care for though I know many people onthe board do, but haven't ever seen the back of it.

catlin	26 Jun 2002
Ok, I always wanted decks for my gay querents now I have both the Adrian and the Cosmic Tribe to offer but strangely enough, most of them feel drawn to the Legend Arthurian deck.

Dark Inquisitor	26 Jun 2002
Ok, I said it, --and now I DON"T GET IT!!!! I've seen South Park, Sorceress Jade, but I can't remember the one you're referring to. It may have stuck in the back of mind somewhere, I don't know. To clear up any bewilderment, what I meant was, the men in the deck are posed and costumed really "dramatically". Maybe a little too dramatically to be mistaken for heterosexuals! ! - the Devil is my favorite big gay guy card in the deck- Tarotphelia

You can see the back of this deck, and many others at Joan Bunning's Website.
