I come across this beauty when I browse the site. This deck is desgined by Amerigo Folchi and very very expensive. After doing a little search in Tarot garden, I realize that he has designed other beautiful decks as well. http://www.trigono.com/tarots/tarocco-omaggio-a-erte.htm If anyone knows about Amerigo Folchi, could you share it with me. Thanks! Cheers! moon_mermaid

Folchi has indeed designed many beautiful decks. Some, like the Erte, the Felicita, the Ferrara, and the Carnival of Venice, are very hard to come by. However, he does have a few decks that are more easily obtained. I personally can recommend the Tarot of Sissi. There is a review by Mark Filipas at: http://www.spiritone.com/~filipas/Masquerade/Reviews/sissi.html Felicity -- My collection: http://home.attbi.com/~felicityk/tarot/

If you put in the artists last name at the Tarotgarden search window, you will get info on all the decks he has produced. I have several of his decks and they are generally beautiful. I really like the de Sissi.

You've made some very wonderful choices for your 22 decks. What happens if you should see a new deck that you want to have? Do you turn one of the old ones away? I envy your willpower. For me tarot decks are kind of like the slogan goes for Lays Potato Chips...no way I can have just one ~ or even just 22! ('cept I don't eat potato chips) Be well, Ellie

felicityk. IF yu decide you absolutely need another deck and have to get rid of one of the ones you have now..I"ll take the Eclectic Tarot..lol Thank you for posting your collection As far as tarot by Amerigo Folchi ... his work is beautiful, but I just can't see paying the price right now..the right now is the key. When I hit the lottery, I'll buy what I want and not even think about price..lol Cj

When I see a new deck I like, I will get it, study it for a while, then decide if I like it better than one of my existing decks. If so, I will sell or trade the deck that is "voted off". :) For sake of diversity, I have decided not to have more than one deck by the same artist, so for example when I obtained the Felicita I sold my Sissi. My tastes are always changing, so my least favorite deck right now might not be my least favorite a month from now! Right now the Alchemical is probably lagging behind. I like the artwork, but in general I don't care for decks that try to impose another set of symbols over those of the Tarot. Felicity
