last night I had two dreams that convinced me that I had seen this deck before. In the first dream, i dreamt I found the box of a deck I had when I was about 7. There were only four cards left in it and one of them was the Empress. She was holding a fish, but she was facing away from it. Im not sure if she had it behind her back or if she was just turned away from it. Another card, which was also female, had the fish as part of her. I think it was a tattoo, but it was down the side of her face and was very colourful. It looked like it was really part of her face. I also remember seeing Death, but I dont remember any details from it. I can remember other things from it, as though ive seen it. I can remember taking them to my best friends house and she kept stealing some of the cards, which is why there are only four left. I found the box in the attic at my house, but I can remember my mum taking them off me because she said they werent suitable for children. They are all very colourful, in bright blues and reds, and all the images were outlined in black. They all had a blue and gold border. I also remembered the name, but I forgot it. The first word was fish, and "tarot" was somewhere in the middle. All of these things could have been just in the dream, but then I had another dream. This dream had nothing to do with the cards themselves, but I remembered remembering the cards from the dream before. Can anyone help me with this. Has anone seen this deck, or one like it? (lol that sounds like a "Wanted" poster :D ) Would be very happy to know if it was real, because I woke up convinced and now I keep thinking that I remember other things about it. always, ~lady~

A bright fish gleams in the depths, then flickers away before you can quite grasp it. You remember it, you *know* it, it is yours. Empress holding fish, woman with fish-face (Princess of Cups?), Death A new, more nurturing relationship with your own soul, and the source of your inner life. The Empress is not 100 percent committed yet, but there is the potential to grasp this fish and take it in, make it part of you. This will change your life and your path. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/mary-el/ (The Empress in this deck does not hold a fish, but your dream reminded me of this deck) Also, the Crystal Tarot has colors like you described and some fish imagery in the swords suite. --Myrrha
