Take a look at this swedish new tarotdeck "Erotica Tarot" A tarotdeck in black and white with hidden symbolic meaning of the erotic aspects in tarot and also with occult knowledge, tantra and sexmagick. To this deck also avaible the book: Erotica Tarot Book I: A description of each cardm of the picture, the meaning, for male and female energy, for couple, all interprentings even reversed. And with an erotic hint. Book II: Sexmagcik in practice with Erotia Tarot. The deck and bok are created by: Ylva Trollstierna and Patrik Carlsson Illustrated by. Pierre "PK" Brawin. Ylva is Swedens famoust tarotreader with over seven books in tarot, she has also created a small deck in swedish with a word of wisdom on for each moment. I really like her art and writing. The deck can be seen one her website: http://www.vipstar.nu/eroticatarot

Well... I took a look at the pictures of this deck, though it was a bit difficult to navigate the page for me as I am handicapped by only being able to speak English and the web site is in what I assume to be Swedish. :D ;) The deck appears to be interesting and perhaps even a deck someone might be able to do readings with. However... I, personally, was not terribly impressed. The images were suggestive, perhaps, but I didn't necessarily think of them as "erotic". But then again, "erotic" may mean something a little different to me, than to some others. Now... to me, erotic Tarot decks include such decks as; "Tarocco dei Giardini di Priapo", "the Tarot Erotica", "Manara: the Erotic Tarot", and others like these. I don't think it's just the fact that these decks are done in color, one of my favorite Tarot decks is the Victoria Regina which is also in monochrome, but this deck just does not seem that erotic to me. (These can all be seen on The Tarot Garden, just do a search on the word "erotic".) I do find it interesting that no other members have commented on this? Or is everyone boycotting this post? (And if so... who was supposed to tell me and didn't?? ;) )

Patrik: I am not interested in erotic decks per se, but since ye took the time to post your thread, I visited the website. I had trouble navigating since I do not understand the language--sorry, my knowledge of languages is limited to English & a wee potpourri of a few others. I was unable to determine from what I saw that the deck is erotic, but I may not have seen enough of the deck either. Trogon: Thanks for posting. There is no boycott that I am aware of, but I suspect others who may have tried the website were discouraged by the lack of understanding of the language, which I think is Swedish. Perhaps some of our Swedish-speaking members will visit it & comment?

i have seen it, but think i better not comment too much since i think the deck is really ugly. this is my personal view though and i have nothing against any of the people that made the deck. just not my cup of tea at all. hope that was not too blunt.

I commented on one of the other 5 copies of this post spread around the forums here. My comment was that just dropping these posts and running made it spam.

Well... this was part of why I didn't reply for a couple of days. Also the reason for my boycott querry. I was kind of waiting to see if "Patrik" would be back & if any of the posts would survive the culling process. LOL Still... I suppose this sort of thing must happen from time to time.
