The 78th Fool
I'm tremendously fond of this deck and I still read with it - after twenty six years! It wasn't the first deck I saw; that was the Fergus Hall Tarot of the Witches. It was however the first deck I bought - closely followed by the Rider and the Fergus Hall.
For me, the images have a slightly sinister kind of mystery and that's one of the reasons I really love the deck. I love the Juno and Jupiter substitutions as well, they just seem to add to this.
It's only recently that this deck has been published with English subtitles. This wouldn't be a problem to me if Stuart Kaplan didn't insist on calling Coins Pentacles - that's some spelling mistake! Anyone wanting an older copy with the original French titling will pick one up very easily (and cheaply) on ebay.
