Hey I got a Yahoo! Group started about the deck: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tarocchi_celtici/ I am going to translate relevant parts of the LWB in English, and the discussion is starting from there but is not restricted to that aspect at all! ;) There's some tarot celebrity in the group to... :cool: *lol* Just joking - but I would be happy to let in anyone else possessing this deck and needing a hand, even though I believe it's just the three of us that have this deck on Aeclectic. OR - this might be an incentive for the so-called tarotholics on here, to get the deck. There are no more excuses... }) (Did you hear me Truthsayer? and you Jewel? Faunabay? *lol*)

hey !!! yes, YOU there, what's this pollux ??? whats wrong with the studyforums here? here they dont have nagging pestering pop-ups, more people visiting it so more chance on comments. so, you better explain this })

LOL It's being done for some people with whom I am in contact via e-mail, and the only people on Aeclectic with the deck are me, Mari and Rhiannon... *LOL* And we all are in the group already. I didn't start one here at all cos there would have been no feedback. Mostly it's all about getting the translated parts. And that's all. :) Had it been on a more popular deck...

...with one of those learning curves...you almost have love celtic themes and also Italian, as the book that comes with this set is in Italian and so I'm picking out keywords and ideas... However, in the context of the study group, I already have been going through the LWB and matching card sequences with it's unique structure. I can tell you the minors are not easy to follow, being nonstandard in structure and numbering. But the majors might correspond to a more typicall 22 archetype structure and ordering. Some of it's unearthly, delicate beauty can it's published package: the textured card stock, similar to great watercolor paper; the delicate dyes and detail in pen and watercolor wash in the front and the marbelized or tinted backs; a lovely open case for the book and deck. The size is overlong and the book fits the long, thin structure of the cards: I had to find a pretty long silk-lined tote for regular wear and a silk-lined velvet tote for storage---you could always keep the case of the book and deck together, but I find that discourages my regular use. I recommend a slippery silk lined bag as the textured card stock might snag on edges otherwise. With the addition of the study group, it's actually an affordable investment for me...I may get another if I fear my first one will show signs of wear. Alidastore.com is one vendor many different people have access to and they have the deck in stock. Mari H.

I am happy to have found this thread. I just received my copy of this beautiful deck from Alidastore.com and it's so amazing! I even bought myself a dictionary to at least be able to understand the given keywords. Well, I just "applied" for membership in this yahoo-study-group and am looking forward for sharing thoughts and experiences with this awesome deck!! So now we are four at AT who own this deck!!! :) Falconwing
