Try your local discount section of Barnes n Noble or the B&N website. I love this deck too.

Here are a few of my favorites-

Thanks...next.... a book?


Ok thank you all of you.. you have been amazingly helpful.... I now am settled with some very neat playing cards decks, (will post pics when I dig them out) and my old Wien is on its way I hope. I have a couple new additions to my wishlist too!

Ok... info.... forum? Books? Youtube video recommendations?

I have studied Numerology but mainly through Dan Millmans system... (I am a 29-11)does this apply? Silly question, I guess all knowledge and insight applies.

Excited....

The Hanged Man looks like someone at the beach in a Charlie Chaplin movie, wearing a very old-fashioned men's bathing suit. In The Lovers, Perseus looks as if the lower half of his body has been amputated, and the sea monster is anything but scary-looking. The compensation for bearing with the "art" is that the images are intended to be 100% true to the GD Tarot, and we can trust the integrity of both Regardie and Wang in this regard. I treasure my deck and would not part with it for anything (within reason), but for me, reading with it is out of the question.
you've got no argument from me here! It's pretty bad =)....but I still like it!

Thanks Moonbow and Pamuya
Cartomancy is studied in the Oracles forums so have a look around there. Some of the studies go back a few years so don't be put off by the age of the threads. As for the Marseilles deck, that also has a forum dedicated to one deck so I suggest having a look at the contents index and doing some reading of those threads. There is a section on reading methods which is a great starting point.
