It seems many of our favorite places to search for release dates are not able to update yet. Hope this helps: Late Feb-early March Argeo at Alidastore.com says he's getting ready to receive the Pagan Tarot (Gina Pace) and I heard the Tarot of the Druids (Lupatelli/Baraldi) is also available. April 2004 Liber T: Tarot of the Stars Eternal (Negrini/Serio)-Thothlike Golden Tarot of Renaissance: Estensi Tarot (Berti/Dworkin) - recreation of Charles VI July 2004 Tarot of Atlantide - Vigna/Rotundo Gay Tarot - Bursten/Platano October 2004 Native American Tarot -Tuan/Tiselli Dragons Tarot - Torado/Baraldi I'm going by a paper catalog received after ordering and signing up for news with Wonderful Tarots last year...it's a Lo Scarabeo associated website. Best wishes! A link to the online catalogue (but no dates seen as of 2/25/04). Mari http://www.loscarabeo.com/catalogo2004/Catalogo_UK/catalogo.htm

Thanks Mari! These dates are very helpful as a guideline, since the website doesn't give us any release dates.... I was wondering if you know of any links showing pics of the Golden Tarot of Renaissance Estensi deck??? I thought I read (somewhere) that this would be a gold-foiled collector's deck...do you know anything about that? Thanks! :D Luna

Thanks, Mari. I anxiously await the Liber T. I'll be looking on April 1 and everyday after that! :)

Alidastore.com Tarotgarden.com For the Estensi tarot: The Lo Scarabeo link shows four cards of the Estensi Tarot- under the Gold and Silver topic title of tarot decks. I can only say the two majors - Heirophant and Death card -- follows the coloring of the 16 remaining originals of the so called Charles VI in color books such as the Art of the Tarot by Christine Oleson. On the website and catalogue, there looks like two cards that pulled from other sources--the triple crowned woman in white with a blue mantle with the cross on her left, white-gloved hand--I think it is the Popess or High Priestess. My speculation, and curiousity follows. I wonder if they used a Madonna or perhaps Beatrix D'Este (an Este daughter of one of the Marquis' that became a nun after her fiancee died) The other card is the red-robed Magician, it seems, with two childish pages. A De Sphera manuscript example, perhaps? That would be an accurate reference under Duke Borso (circa 1470)'s time. I'm hopeful to know in a few months time. Best wishes, Mari H.

Alidastore now has The Pagan Tarot and The Tarot of the Druids in stock... I wish there were more pictures of these decks on the web..... !

Shade	01 Mar 2004
Possibly stupid question: The pagan and druid decks now available... are those in Italian only or also in English?

Lee	01 Mar 2004
Hi Shade, Lo Scarabeo publishes a single version of each of their decks for multiple language markets. Each deck has the card names and titles in the various languages. -- Lee

Shade	02 Mar 2004
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I'd be abe to read my LWB.

Aure	02 Mar 2004
How about those mini decks featured on the site? Are they already published? I have been looking for them but haven't found them yet. Would be so cool to get more mini decks!!!!

That would be an accurate reference under Duke Borso (circa 1470)'s time. Mari, I meant to post this sooner, but I would only think of it when I was at work and didn't have access to the book in question. The Art of Tarot mini-book by Christina Olsen shows the existing cards from the so-called Charles VI Tarot that the Lo Scarabeo Estensi reproduces. In addition, Olsen shows a similar deck from the same period (c. 1475-1480), the Ercole d'Este Tarot, housed at Yale University. The existing majors from this deck are: Fool Magician Pope Temperance Star Moon Sun World The magician in the Estensi reproduction appears to be a copy of the Ercole d'Este Magician. If I had a scanner I would post a photo, but sadly I do not. Felicity

I've seen them at Borders. Tarot Art Nouveau mini Egyptain Tarot mini Fairy Tarot mini New Vision mini Universal Tarot mini I think they are planning on doing more but I don't know what they are. Yes a mini Visconti would be nice. A mini Fey too.
