hi everyone, and thanks for the welcome!!! I have tried a search of the forum, and nothing came up about the I Am One tarot...so I hope I did the search right and am not repeating things already discussed! Having seen scans of this deck I am really intrested in buying it. I found it really beautiful and thought provoking. I love the Thoth deck, its my current reading deck.....but, I have gripes. It is small, I would like a deck with bigger pictures, and I havent the first clue about quabalistic ideas so that side of the deck is wasted on me altogether. What I love about the Thoth is the shades of dark and light and the richness of the emotional reaction I have to the images. So, I am thinking of I Am One as my next deck, it seems to answer my gripes with the Thoth. But.....I have been wrong before when I have chossen a deck based on scans. Can I ask, what are other peoples opinions of the I Am One deck? I am hopeing to expand my collection....what other suggestions do people have? I would love some imput on this. I like decks that are intelligent and arent a watered down version of the traditional meanings....but I do like decks that take those meanings to a new level, I like seeing new things in the card meanings. I also love very emotive and expressive imagery. Having said that, I also want to explore historical decks and really get a grasp of the tradition behind the more modern decks.

MM Cassiopeia, We discussed this deck a little while ago but I cannot recall the name of the thread. Maybe you want to give the name of the "I AM ONE" creator in the search engine so make it easier.

i may be wrong about this but i remember discussing this one over a year ago. how long has it been since the forum's last crash? i'm thinking those threads may have been lost then. i like the i am one deck. it's pretty. it bothers some people b/c it has so much wording on each card. there also seems to be a problem with copyright on this deck. someone else did a deck like this one then the i am one creator took the info from that deck and used it to create this deck but she didn't give the original creator credit for her work. does anyone else remember what happened? it's been a while.
