I found this deck in a shop yesterday, and was wonering if anybody knew if it is OOP? I think I heard mention of something like that... Kiama

I think this used to be OOP but was re-released. I was attracted to it when I first saw it at Wicce's site... but it was listed as OOP then. Plus it is a majors only deck. I think I've seen it listed at tarotgarden recently, though. Do you like the art? I found it fascinating.... R :)

There was a release of the Ansata here only a few months ago so don't worry, there are good chances to get this one for a little bit longer.

I've never been able to confirm the rumors that the Ansata Tarot was ever out-of-print. At one point, U.S. Games ceased to distribute it, so it was unavailable directly in North American for a number of years. However, we've always able to get it from our European suppliers. And USG has once again begun to distribute the Ansata. If you live in the U.S., you shouldn't be paying more than $18 for it. We have it in stock at Tarot Garden, although our supply is quite low now and I need to reorder... Hope this helps. -- Jeannette http://www.tarotgarden.com

It is an interesting deck, which is often scary in places... I think there's an almost 'Bosch' influence in some of the cards, ad this deck is Thoth based Hence the Egyptin look to it... It has one of the coolest Sun cards I have seen in a long time, but the Heirophant really creeps me out! Apparantly this deck was first published to accompany the book 'Astrologie und Tarot' a while ago... That's excuse enough for me to have it in my collection! ;) I mut add that I alo bought the Voyager Tarot, Wang's Golden Dawn Tarot, andLight and Shadow Tarot along with this one... The shop keeper couldn't believe it when he asked me which decks I was interested in, and I pointed out 4 of them, then asked me which one I would like to actually buy, andI poined to all 4 of them again! He he... Oh, and I also ordered Tarot of the Cloisters. }) Bad Kiama! *Nursing her fatally wounded bank balance...* Kiama
