Late last year I received a copy of the Norse Tarot deck and book set which I was very happy about as I am interested in Norse mythology. However I was a bit surprised as it was still sealed in its outer plastic wrapper - surprised as I had thought that this deck was currently out of print. It came in a hard plastic casing that holdings the deck in a well inside with the book (similiar to the Ananda tarot set). Then about a week ago when I was visiting the city with some friends and stumbled across a little tarot shop that had second hand decks and found a Norse Tarot deck and bookset in a cardboard box (albeit the box a little worse for wear but the contents were in excellent condition). I of course bought it as it was at a bargan price ;), but I was then curious as I have searched online and can't see anything about the Norse Tarot being reprinted, even though there was some talk of it a while ago. Has anyone heard anything about this? CreativeFire

Thanks very much, Fulgour for the links, they are basically what I had found as well, which did not really give any indication as to the progress of the reprint at this time. I will have to check the ISBN numbers on each of the boxes, as both the books, included with the decks, seem to be exactly the same and are printed in 1989 - and there is no indication of a different edition, apart from the big difference in the packaging.

Once in awhile, when someone posts a good price for a deck, sometimes there is a small supply out there; for instance, I found a Knapp-Hall Tarot for $10.00 once and a Prediction Tarot also for $10.00 on Amazon.com and abebooks.com in different times in 2004. Today, after reading your post, I found a Clive Barrett Norse Tarot set for an inexpensive price on amazon.com, but found more than one option available and chose the seller that had better ratings. I actually saw an Alchemical set listing for $44.00, decently lower than a $199.00 price that I had seen two weeks ago. Maybe its a good time to browse for used decks. Regards, Cerulean
