Aum Tarot?

jema

I just found this on an auction site but never seen it before. Anyone know anything at all about this deck. Picture got some books in it too but those are not relevant. Just the deck in the left bottom corner I am curious about.

... and 7 months later I actually bought the deck. Thought I would show 2 photos in case anyone would be interested.

It is called The Aum Tarot Deck - created by Kristin Jonell Parikh
It comes with a book called Aum Tarot - An introduction to the mysticism of Tarot. Published 1999 by Ayur-Veda in sweden.
The cards are a bit Thoth-y yet in the book the author talks about 'the repugnant Satanist Crowley' that made me giggle a little

Thank you, jema -- what an interesting deck! The Devil is unusual -- I've never seen one quite like it.

Hmmm... this might have to go on my wishlist...

It's strange !

jema - do any of your cards have weird black streaks ? One or two of mine do and I never did find out if they were supposed to - it is JUST possible. I emailed the creator at the time I bought it (2006) but never got an answer.
 

jema

damn it! Gregory got it? I thought for once I had something new here lol

nope, no black streaks on my cards. What cards do you have them on?
 

gregory

The really bad one is 6 Wands, where there is a sort of streak of black dots down the right hand side of the card. It COULD mean something - or it could be a print error... it looks like someone sort of spilled ink. :) I'd have liked to replace the card if it isn't supposed to be there - as I suspect - but as I say, I got no response.
 

jema

yeah just checked 6 of Wands, the only black thing in the corner is her little signature. I think this is the most elusive deck, it is not really sold anywhere. I just got lucky with a second-hand online shop last week myself. The deck or book don't even got an ISBN

Looks interesting, good find!
