I found images of this tarot- I didn't know it existed- on the net. Then, I read it was oop or something like that, but it isn't available everywhere. Soooo, just window shopping on ebay I found it for 12 something dollars. I bought it. *shame, shame* So, anybody has this deck? Do you like it? How does it "Feel"? Is it a read deck or a collection deck? Any info will be surely appreciated!!!! Blessings, Clau

I keep fighting with myself about this one. I really like the majors but I'm not much for minors without pictures...yet. I've only ever seen it on Ebay. If I'm going to get it I'd better hurry before they're all gone. Clau, no shame shame. I think $12 is not too bad for a brand new deck, especially if it's oop. Of course, I am often the Devil's Advocate. That way I can have other people try them out first and tell me what they're like. I'm terrible! Hope you like it. Peace, April

Well you know April the thing that is interesting for me about this deck is exactly what you're not sure about: I didn't think there were any other "modern" decks with no images on the minor arcana, Marseille style. Maybe I'm totally off, but most decks I've seen are "modern" versions of RW, but not Marseille. Plus, Pumariega is a Spanish artist, who is still alive and the deck was published by Casa Fournier, so it's kinda new and traditional. I had the deck Shipped to my sis's house in Miami (to save THOUSANDS of dollars in shipping..lol) so I'll have to wait for 2 weeks to actually have the deck in my hands... In The Mystic eye's web site the review gave it 5 stars! Let's see, In the mean time, I'll appreciate any input on this deck! Blessings, Clau

I also bought this deck from ebay, because it looked interesting and was inexpensive. I like it a lot. The art on the majors reminds me of Picasso - the way Pumariega redistributes body parts. Last night I did a reading with it, using only the majors. The cards were very intuitive, and the reading was spot on and to the point. I plan to use this deck for readings more often. Sue
