Ok, I got my Giger yesterday evening. It is the Blue box Evergreen edition by Taschen GmbH with 22 cards, 220-page-book and poster/spreadsheet with the "Baphomet head" printed in silver on a black background.

As Jeannette had already pointed out, Akron choose the pictures out of the Giger oeuvre as Giger did not see himself apt to create the dark deck Akron had requested as he (Giger) had only a basic knowledge of the Crowley Tarot.

In the beginning, Akron wished to create a truly dark deck as the dark aspects he wanted to incorporate in the book about the Crowley tarot he had written together with H. Banzhaf but these darker aspects were rejected by the publisher.

There seems to be a homepage at www.baphomet.de

On the home page you gave, catlin, I have read MMORPG
Massive
Multiplayer
Online
Role
Play
Game

the MMORPG are a new kind of videogames, born around one year ago, and based on games/matches played by people all over the world, connected via Internet.

Are you sure it has something to do with the deck? :confused:
I can't read Deutch, so I am just guessing - even because I couldn't enter the site either...

Oh, Pollux, sorry to hear this! I just copied this e-mail addy out of the Giger book but I had no chance to check it before. There is a direct e-mail addy available to contact Akron but I do not know this one by heart. I have to look it up.

Did someone a google research with "Baphomet" or "Giger"? I wonder what you got there.

Maybe I should e-mail them again?

Hi Pollux,

In the back of my Giger book there are the Baphomet - Tarot of the Underworld and the CD separately mentioned with different ISBN numbers. Guess this won't hellp you to figure out this mystery.
