You made my day, Kat!!! After a visit with friends, I came home to a lovely package with the Touchstone Tarot! Gorgeous and far exceeded my expectations. Not sure why, since I am head over heels with the Golden, but this is shaping up to be what I had hoped the Sacred Art Tarot would be. Excellent size, awesome artwork, love the finish, though my Magician and High Priestess cards came a bit peeled in the upper right hand corner. Anyone else with this problem? I love the pattern of the back. This is exactly what I had hoped for. A warm coloured deck, with golds and black and browns and ambers and very readable, very powerful and very, very beautiful! I can only imagine the MM version will be absolutely exquisite!
My very first happy squirrel card, love the pen...very pretty, can't wait to burn my very first cone incense which smells "divine" !!! And the amulet! Agate is a favourite stone of mine, and is just going to be all about tapping into this autumnal deck! Thank you for such a lovely, lovely piece of art that you are, once again, sharing with the rest of us! The size is perfect for my smallish hands so I am off to buy a backup, because this baby is getting used!!!! It feels so wonderfully ancient....I love the silky touch to it!! It is also one of the nicest feeling shuffling decks I have ever owned!
I am in heaven!!!!
