mentioned in another thread, this deck was said to be a limited edition of only 1000. This may end up true. The web sie says 1000 copies for the introductory signed and numbered printing. I think I'm willing to risk a second printing. AT $90 US I can buy 5-8 decks off of ebay. (I bid low) Sheesh I may like my poster of the 78 Dali tarot cards but you couldn't make me pay $90 for the deck.

Does anyone here actually have this deck? If so, is it worth it? :)

I have to say the deck is exquisite. It is RWS based, and very easy to read. The cards are a little larger than average on excellent card stock. The deck is beautiful and very usable, not just another pretty art deck. The box for the deck is a hard box, the lid lifts off. The signature and numbering are on the box. It does not come with a LWB, but if you are comfortable with the RWS you will not need one. The deck has a pagan feel to me. As a collector I am willing to occassionally splurge on a deck and I do not regret my choice at all ... It was worth it to me, and I can only speak for myself. This is the only deck I have spent this kind of money on so far and it took me 8 years to do that! *LOL*.

May you and your deck live happily ever after. But seriously, it is a pretty deck on my wish list. ...if only I didn't have to worry about money.

Jewel, I'd be interested to hear your opinions regarding the keywords on the Minors... -- Lee

The words are located in the top margin of the cards, on a black background, and are the same size and color (white) as the card title. I do not agree with all of them. They are very gentle in my opinion (i.e. 5 of Wands - "Collaboration"; 9 of swords - "Concern"). The deck is gentle actually, but I would not call it sugary sweet. Great for shadow work, meditation and self discovery work. But honestly the pictures are so nice and evocative that I barely notice the words. The pictures for the most part draw me right in before I get to the top margin of the card. Do you have this deck Lee? If you do I would love to hear your opinion of it. I have been planning to write a review of it for Aeclectic just haven't gotten around to it yet. Ohhh and for those who like reversible backs ... this deck has them.

No, I don't have it, I was just looking at it on the website... it looks like a nice deck, but I can't really justify the expense. I've bought one ultra-expensive deck so far (Blue Rose), and that's a nice deck too, but such a lot of money... -- Lee

Jewel	25 Sep 2002
I know what you mean Lee ... like I said it took me 8 years to spend this money on a deck. If you ever do get the chance to get it I do think it is a very nice deck and very usable and readable too.

Does anyone know if this will ever come out in a lower-price version for those of us who don't care about limited editions but just want a lovely and readable deck for our own use? I wish Blue Rose and Animal Tarot would, too, but alas, I have the feeling that we in the masses will never get a chance... -- Kyrielle
