"Tarot d'Auramour" oracle deck

Rusty Neon

Hi ... I bought this deck today as I was intrigued by the images and keywords. Does anyone else have it yet? It's an 87-card oracle deck, published by France Cartes / Grimaud. Although the LWB doesn't indicate the nature of the artwork, using google I found the artist's post on a yahoogroup, and apparently it's supposed to be Inca / Peruvian inspired art and meant to help readers tap into the collective unconscious. However, in some of the cards, I can see obvious borrowing from major arcana imagery.

It's kind of interesting trying to relate the images and keywords to the TdM major arcana and the RWS major and minor arcana.

Hi Rusty Neon,

The link you provided took me to a message in French on a yahoo groups site, but no pictures of the deck. Do you have a link to any pictures?

That link was to the deck artist's post (in French) in the yahoo group.

Some scans:

** The scans are of orange-background cards. Note that not of the cards have orange backgrounds. Other cards can have brown, yellow, red, green or blue backgrounds. There is a bit of an earth colour bias (orange, yellow, brown).

Also, Somerville's may have some scans at the link below, but when I clicked on the link below, there was a message that the server wasn't available.

I think I may be adding this deck to the growing list of decks I'd like to sell or trade away.
