Can anyone identify the kooky Spanish Majors and the Totem Bird deck? How on earth am I going to catalogue them in my deck list archives?

I recognise the birds - I have a set that came with the "Learn and Understand Astrology" partwork, published by Hachette. They are called "Bird of Omen" cards and were one of a number of divination sets that came with the series. There should be 52 cards. This series is also probably where the astrology board came from.

I WANT this...Le Fanu said:
And this means I should be able to find them, right???Faolainn Storm said:

Possibly, but unlikely. The partwork was released in the late 90s (if I remember correctly) and as it ended up at 140 issues, I'm not sure if many people got the whole set. I have seen bits and pieces of it on ebay, but never a whole set. I'd would be hard work finding all of them (or even just the 26 particular issues that had the bird cards).Stormdancer said:
I don't know if it was ever released in the US. My edition has contact details for Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Malta, and as Le Fanu has a Spanish version, it suggests that it was released in Europe.
And the last time I looked at the publishers website, they didn't have it listed as one of their works, so I doubt there is any back stock.
Which all means, I'm sorry to say, it is highly unlikely that you will find a set

This is something I have only dreamed of... you are indeed very lucky! But you helped Lady Luck along by befriending your Russian odd-jobs man, and by reading for him. If anyone deserved those cards, it's you.

I'm glad for you Le Fanu! I found one of these last month in a two-piece lidded box and it was $8.00. Box a little worse for wear, but the cream-colored little booklet and lack of copyright on the bright pictures makes this a treasured and user-friendly version for me.
Hope you enjoy the "vintage" English deck for a change or reference...
Best,

Pretty good stash, huh?
Almost destroyed forever. How sad would that be?
