Hi Oni I have this deck, but....... I have not used it. I intend to one day though! No really I do. :) It comes in a black box with gold edging and lettering. It has a push on lid, and is a very sturdy box. Simone is the only person on Aeclectic, that I know of, that reads with the deck, so I suspect she will be along very soon....... The LWB is red! And is in French in the new version. Simone's book was in French and English and she very kindly swapped books with me. I found a site with meanings for all of the cards once, I'll see if I can find it again and if so will edit this post.

Simone has the Oracle Belline, but not the Tarot Belline, AFAIK. At least, she was looking for it when I was visiting, so if she does have it, she got it in the last few weeks. Oh, Simone, where are you? :D

Yes you are right Oakie, We both have the Oracle Belline not the Tarot, but this has made me get it out and have a little play with them, so some good has come out of it.

well my freind got the deck, could not work with it well he acutlly just opened looked at it and gave it too me cause he is lazy! he he. now i have the deck. does anyone have like a translation of the lwb? like i can tell what cards they r by looking at the pics, but still... i do love the gold edeing of the cards! i wish some english decks did that! and the box is great, all black and red felt on the inside with a little string to lift up the cards. like the size of the cards is cool too cause i like large cards. but has anyone read with the deck? it is not like diff from anythign else just it feels so like hmm royal. hehee like if anyone has like translations that would be cool, my dad knows french but like it easy i did not know it was a marsellias type deck though wich is cool, but i have never dig that kind, but like whatever.

I am just so in love with this deck ... after I sell my son and daughter-in-law on ebay, I'm going to buy it. Oh alright ... I'm saving for it LOL (won't get enough for the kids! Maybe if I threw in the dog??? ... Nah! I'd miss the dog hehehe!). An absolutely MUST HAVE ... but read with it ... gosh, I'll wear gloves and a mask (to stop the drool) and savour LOL. You can see it at: http://www.playingcardsales.co.uk/cards/ It is made by by France Cartes, Cat Ref: 11069 and is 50 Pounds. mythos

u dont need to do all that! the one i brought here for my freind wich i now ended up having since he did not like it, was only 20 dollars usa. and it is brand new. but like i brought it at a french import store, mainly cause i could not find it anywere else. what is 50 pounds in usa dollars? like yea the cards r so like pretty i dont know if i will ever like use the deck i will proubly just like u know end up doing something arty with them. hehee

Oni	24 May 2005
thanks for that link to that site!

No idea what 50 pounds is in US - yes I do ... as she quickly leaps off to a conversion site: US $91.41, and in AUD$ it's 120. Then, the postage costs from France (where the store is) to Australia are phenomenal. Much cheaper to the US. See ... selling the kids and the dog probably wouldn't do it? My parents make great grandparents! Maybe I could sell them too LOL! I want this deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mythos
