Galatea
I am interested in purchasing the Mythic Tarot but after doing some research online I have found that different editions seem to be outthere, and that these editions have different cardbacks. I was hoping that you brilliant ATers could help me get these editions sorted out so I know which one to get.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but there seems to be a first edition published by Llewellyn in 1986, and those cards seem to have a black card back design with a reversible golden or yellow border. This edition has a hardback book to accompany the deck.
The deck then seems to be published in a later edition, with black card backs that have the cup, wand, sword and pentagram in the center, non-reversible. Published by Simon and Schuster? This edition was available and book and kit with spread cloth, as a separate book and separate deck, and the deck was paperback.
And then there is the latest edition with the Empress on the box that I have not seen any scans of, I read somewhere that the card backs were purple? Do they have the same cup, wand, sword, pentacle design?
I would be so happy if you could help me get this straight!
