Show your Playing Cards!

Madrigal

Well, when you mentioned being attached to illustrated pips because of Tarot I remembered this deck. You can pre-order them still through that site I linked for $11 a deck plus another $20 if you want the rest of the Majors. You'd have a full playing card deck plus the 22 Majors all in the same style. Just sayin' ;)

There really is something so very mesmerizing about playing cards, and by extension, tarot cards, as well. I don't know why they evoke such a deep reaction in me, but they do - I imagine you feel the same way! I even remember how seriously I took shuffling, when I was about 5 and just learning how to shuffle. It felt like a rite of some kind...and the faces on the court cards...the colours.... :love:

I love the idea of reading playing cards, but could never make much of them. I didn't try hard enough to memorize a system... scenic pips on playing cards take care of that though!

Those Rackham cards are gorgeous. Though I don't know much about the Ring Cycle. Except what I learned from Bugs Bunny. :D
