It is called the Tarot of the Witches, and it was featured in one of the older James Bond 007 movies. I am not sure which one, though.
EDITED TO ADD: On second look, maybe it isn't the Tarot of the Witches.

Aaah, thank you, Lee, that is very useful!
I did try and do a search here, but I didn't really know what I was searching for.... Story of my life, really.

I like these cheap major arcana only decks, fun to have around for art, medition, giving to friends (or door knocking christians hehe). They real;ly are out of print, but there are always groups of them on ebay for sale. I suppose someday they'll be a collectors item, but for now if you buy a set you can put one away in the collection and still have 5 more sets to play with :)
:THP

The James Bond film is Live and Let Die, 1972, the first Roger Moore film.
I saw one on sale today at a psychic fair in St.Albans, Hertfordshire, England. I guess therefore it is still in print? It cost £17.99 ($US 27)
If you do watch the film, you will notice they mix up the Witches tarot, and the RWS.

the unidentified deck is the caring psychic family--a major arcana(22 card)only deck. if you check the deck lists at aeclectic, you'll see both the similarities and differences with the witches(james bond) tarot. the witches tarot is a full deck of 78. i have the caring psychic family so i feel sure i'm right. plus if you read the posts that lee's links go to, you'll see the same conclusion.

It looks to me like the Caring Psychic Family deck copied the Witches Tarot borders and titles.

I have a copy of the Witches Tarot for trade, see the UK bit. Its owner's main priority is that it gets used rather than what specifically she gets in trade, have a look and see if you want it.

Thank you all.
I've been having this weird craving for the Tarot of the Witches deck, that I think this one might still....for a while.
Can;t buy it on ebay, unfortunately, because seller doesn't accept Paypal or creditcards - and transferring money to the USA costs about 4 times what I would have to pay for the deck.
I'm sure I'll find it somewhere else, now that I know what it's called.

Lilliana, the trippy deck you won was the Neuziet (New Age) tarot. It is a different deck from the one pictured here on this thread, the Caring Psychic Family deck , which has only the 22 card major arcana, and was a promo for a psychic phone network. Caring Psychic Family is a cute deck though.
