DH and I are watching a television program called "Monk" (w/Tony Shaloub in the title role as an obsessive/compulsive detective) and his assistant goes to a psychic and she also did a Tarot reading! :) The cards were the Tower :TTOW, the Chariot :TCHAR and the Knight of Pentacles :TKNP (there was another that I couldn't see). It was very cool to see it on a show! I didn't recognize the deck - it looked old and French, like the Marseilles, except the writing was in english. Did anyone else watch it? It's re-airing this evening at midnight e.s.t. Here's the website Monk series if you're interested. :T4W Starfish

Cool... Did the reading have anything to do with what happened in the show? Did it reveal anything that related to the plot (I mean since its a detective show)?

I saw it too. She predicted the female querent (Monk's sidekick) would meet a guy with a british accent. I personally couldn't see it in the cards she drew.

Me either - other than if the Knight of Pentacles was supposed to be him. But then again, she was supposed to be a fraud ;) Now, Divinerguy, was I right about the deck being a Marseilles style? Did you also notice she mentioned (since the Chariot was one of the cards :TCHAR) that the querent liked to move around a lot (or something to that effect)? :TAW Starfish

i saw that. i liked the deck she was using :) any of you seen the movie "The Red Violin"? It also has Tarot in it, and the deck looked ancient and Spanish.

If it wasn't a Marseilles, it was something pretty close. It struck as being slightly less cluttered than the Tarot of Marseilles. however, that could've been just a minor card variation.
