I Need help finding a certain deck

[Phantom Goddess]

I'm helping a friend look for a certain tarot deck, that he can't remember the name to. He's looking for a deck that had all the suits made out of metal. He had a copy of it once, but gave it away and now he can't find another copy of it now.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance.

All the suits made out of metal? You mean, like the suits were named after metals (silver, gold, etc.)?

Is your friend certain that the deck was actually a tarot deck, and not some kind of non-tarot oracle or sybil cards?

I have to get more info. Thanks for replying.

I'm not sure this is what you're after, but the mention of metals reminded me of the beautiful Ironwing tarot:

Probably not what he is looking for...but the first thing I thought of was the Crow's Magick deck...

A rather metallic looking deck.

Not the Robot is it ? metallic robot figures throughout - Tarotgarden have it in their database but it is out of print....... Somerville has copies but no pix: here and search !

Maybe he meant that it looked metallic...?
I instantly thought of the Secret Tarot, by
Jane Lyle. It's been around long enough
for him to have had it once. It used to be
sold as the Renaissance Tarot:

Ah, lateral thinking Logiatrix - I like it This could also indicate any one of the gold or silver foil embossed decks, of which there are too many to mention....

Perhaps that deck could be the Renaissance Tarot, by Helen Jones and Jane Lyle. The images are bas-relief metallic scupltures. Very unique effect. The cards themselves are not made of metal (now that would certainly make shuffling a challenge!)

The two Jane Lyles mentioned are one and the same. In case anyone is looking to buy it !
