Solo para publico adulto! When this came in the mail, I called the supplier to ask if they realized... well, you know. They refunded my costs and let me keep the deck! Funny thing is, I am forever wondering where these guys find all the time and ideas to keep coming out with these decks? And some of the cards are classics!

I love the reaview of this deck on Tarot Passages . It really made me laugh. While the deck is alittle more erotic than I might normally pick the artwork is very well done. WARNING - THE IMAGES ON THESE CARDS ARE FOR ADULTS ONLY! http://www.tarotpassages.com/decameron78.htm

Yes I'll agree the artwork is well done but OMG! Can you imagine pulling this deck out when you have visitors and tell them it's a new deck your learning to read with. hahaha

Yes, it would be interesting to pull this deck out for the unsuspecting....Ha! But even more so if you use the Majors as created for the limited edition Majors only version, compared with the full 78 card deck. The changed cards: (trying to be discreet here) The Emperor: In the Majors-only set, instead of the jester/dwarf standing in front of the Emperor, there is a very young girl, who is kneeling in front of the Emperor, performing a risque act of homage. This Emperor is much more corpulent than in the 78 card deck. Justice: Similar to the 78 card set, except we see Justice from the front, blindfolded, a hand delicately fondling herself, and in the scales, we see money in the one side and a severed male organ in the other and a large bloody knife on the bed. Death: The 78 card set shows a young woman atop a skeleton, with a hooded Reaper-like figure hovering nearby. The Majors only version shows a young woman astride a young man, in the throes of passion and grasping the bed curtains with both hands. Has the act killed her? The young man's eyes are wide open and a hand covers his mouth has if he has just realized what may have transpired. The Sun: The full deck shows what appear to be 2 young, naked male soldiers, their helmets & clothes strewn nearby, lying near each other on the ground. Have they just found the pleasure of male bonding with each other? In the Majors only version, a young woman gives oral pleasure to a young man, while another young man orally pleases her. All of the other Majors are the same in both versions. An interesting comparison, n'est-ce pas? Asher

Still I guess it is better to be forwarned ;)

it is the 1st deck i brought and i love it! it is very erotic, vulgar really but i like that ! yes i have pulled it out on people radomly and i have not had any bad reactions, ither they like it too or they wish the pics were more like of real people, u know more a photography deck instead more animated like the Decameron is. i love the deck, wish there was book for it though. why did u ask for your money back Fulgour?

I did like the review. I think that it is a humorous group of cards. I prefer the erotic deck, Tarot of Cassanova, better. I almost bought the Decameron Tarot but saw others that I wanted more.--Tao
