I just found this little treasure, and wondered if anyone knew anything more about its release date:- http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/gilded/ I really like these cards... does anyone know if there are other scans available elsewhere? C

Here is the link to the website: http://www.ciromarchetti.com/ciro/tarot/ It's a beautiful deck and should be available in the Autumn. J.D.

Centaur	25 Feb 2004
Thank you for that link Bacchus. Yes. I really like the imagery on this deck: very vibrant and alive. It is not very often that a deck just jumps out at me, but I must admit that I am quite taking a liking to this one! C

Bacchus	25 Feb 2004
Correction, it looks like it will not be out until early 2005. Drat. I'm really looking forward to this one. Oh well, it's just a little longer than I thought. J.D.

There is a limited edition that the creator of the deck, Ciro Marchetti, is offering, but it is a trifle expensive. You can see it on his website, i don't want to quote the price in case Ciro has changed it. But if you really have to have it.... :D Hi, Ciro! Bob :THERM

Bob :THERM Hey Bob, I don't think I would be able to afford it. I will just have to wait until it comes down in price and is put out on general release. Damn it. C

The latest info I have from Llewellyn is that the relase is planned for September/October of this year. I approved preliminary printers proofs a couple of days ago. We are working on the outer packaging as we speak.

That's great news, cirom, thanks for letting us know! -- Lee

Centaur	25 Feb 2004
Cool! That is not too long to wait then: just another 7 or 8 months! LOL. It looks like a great deck though, so should be worth it. C

Bacchus	25 Feb 2004
Woo-hoo! Please keep us updated, cirom! J.D.

Whew....I felt a little panic attack coming on when I first heard that the Gilded was delayed until 2005...:eek: Of course, the Golden was supposed to be out originally in October of 2003,, remember???? I will be holding my breath that this one will be out on schedule!!! :D Luna

Star Spirit	25 Feb 2004

If in the future anyone knows when/if preorders can be made on this deck, please post it for us!!! I loved this deck since I visited the creator's site, but I cannot possible afford the limited edition, so i'll have to wait for the reprinted version....

I try to visit Ciro's website weekly, and I will be sure to post any updates here..... I have also been salivating over this deck for several months now, and unfortunately do not have the money to purchase the Limited Edition deck....Ed McMahon, where ARE you???? :D :) Luna

I think this deck is definitely going to make me break my resolution not to buy any more decks this year in favor of just studying and connecting with the ones I already have. I can't help myself...it's Ciro's fault for creating such a beautiful deck! ;)

cirom	27 Feb 2004
Oh that's right, blame it all on me.......
