Hello all- just joined this forum - what a great site A few days ago I was looking through tarot samples and saw a tarot set which was very sexual and erotic. I was a bit put off/embarrassed but have now let those resistances go. Now, though, I cant find it anywhere (this was on the net- and assume it was on this site). I think it was photo realistic and it reminded me of the Nijinsky tarot but. I remember the tower trump was a giant penis being hit by lightning. The art was great though subjectivity aside. Help. Cheers Hellion

Although not exactly what you described, many people enjoy the erotic symbolism of the Cosmic Tribe Tarot. Its not a blatantly erotic deck like some of the Lo Scarabeo decks, but doesn't shy awat from it either. Take a look at the author's website http://www.stevee.com/pages/t.fs.html

I wonder whether Cosmic Tribe Deck will be allow in Singapore or some other "not that open" countries. The deck is a very light-hearted and bright deck. But it seems to be quite hm~?

It can only be THE ONE... }) http://www.theblessedbee.com/taroteroticaL.html Please someone cover coldsuns innocent eyes... :| And warm up Divinerguy, let's have some fun!!! Glad to see you around!!! :) P.S. I can't see it much as photo-realistic actually... but I think this is the only bolted penis around *lol*

This deck has a penis being struck by lightning: http://www.theblessedbee.com/taroteroticaL.html We have discussed it here before and it is not something you easy forget :joke:

Pollux	03 Apr 2003
mwahahaha Me first! ;) *LOL* WolfSpirit is right, there is a number of old discussions about the deck. If you are interested and need help, let me know and I will hunt the old threads down, ok? :)

Beaten in the last minute... :laugh:

Hellion	03 Apr 2003
Thanks for all the replies but thats not it. I stumped myself. Hopefully someone will know of the one. Hellion

Not THAT deck??? Oh my Gawd! There's another penis-like Tower and I missed that? :eek: This is just not on. I just have to unleash my tarot-hounds and start the quest. I am with you buddy, let' keep searching! This is a personal honour point! *LOL* })

Hellion	03 Apr 2003
Thanx dude I swear the artwork looked incredible.

WolfSpirit	03 Apr 2003
well I found the artwork on the tarot erotica pretty incredible...but not necessarily in a positive way :laugh: })

Could it be the Decameron deck? It has lots of hmmm..... penises it that deck. Dakini

Maybe it's the Garden of Penises deck, which I haven't really....um examined, but it sounds quite an engorging, I mean engaging deck, and perhaps a likely candidate for this particular towerful structure. Incidentally, I find the Decameron Tarot much more erotic than the Tarot Erotica by Lori Wells. Although enticed by the Emperor's attributes (cough) the Erotica deck seems so-so. I like the Decameron because it makes me laugh and feel rather celebratory and happy about life. I'm afraid to buy it in case I die and someone finds it in my closet though! I am soooo middle class.

Try these, forgive me if I am repeating previous suggestions. Manara Decameron Tarot Erotica http://www.theblessedbee.com/taroteroticaL.html

WolfSpirit	03 Apr 2003
The Manara has as a tower card a cathedral. No collapsing, no lightning, no penis - so you can rule that one out.

Demonesse	03 Apr 2003
It's not the Decameron either...(in any case, the Decameron is not a "photorealistic" art-type deck.)

Hellion	04 Apr 2003
Nope the Decameron deck is not it although I did like it. Darn it. I will re-find this deck if its the last thing I do. Thanks for all the help guys :)

Pollux	04 Apr 2003
Last night it took me around 4 hours searching. But I found no Penis!!! There's no Tower Penis in any of the photografical, true-to-life decks around - at least those I managed to check in a 3-hour-40-minute search... *lol* Please Hellion, could you describe other cards, and the whole artwork and style with more length? That would help...

Hellion	04 Apr 2003
ok I remember the penis tower hit by lightning, a figure/torso with a bright starburst or shape .. the memory of this quite vague i guess this doesnt help that much

Silverlotus	04 Apr 2003
I don't know. It really sounds like the Tarot Erotica to me. The Star shows a woman's torso with a star design on it. If there is another deck that is similar and photo-realisic, I'd sure love to know! I'll find a way to add it to my collection. :)

I am soooo middle class. :joke: what you should do is buy more decks and make a really big collection of "respectable" decks, that way people will think that one erotic deck is just to make your collection complete and not because you are into erotic pictures.
