The URL I put in the above message led you to the Gummy Bears and more bear-like Tarots.

The Bearot and the Teddy Tarot were both there as well as the Aubrey BEARdsley Tarot (interesting, but not what you wanted).

nisaba, to see those, I just typed in 'bear' this time, instead of 'bears' (last time) and then I
did see the bear type decks you were talking about.

Thank you, I will check all those out...I really appreciate your help

HUGS

Does it have to be tarot ?
There are oracle decks that have bears in them, but I do not know of any decks that have exclusively, or even predominantly, bears.
The Wolf Song cards has a card for the black bear, brown bear, grizzly and another one.
Animal Messages by Susan Green has a bear in it.
I think the Pathfinders Oracle also has bears in it but it may be that is no longer available, I got mine years ago.

Thank you WolfSpirit, come to think of it, I believe an oracle deck would be fine also
Gosh, I should have thought of that

The decks you suggested sound really interesting and I will also be checking those out as well.
I just love the fact that we can always come here for answers and help!

thanks everyone!

OMG! The magician in the jockstrap looks just like a friend of mine! Limited edition of 30 .... not very likely I'll find one ....

Edited to add:
I just researched through ebay to an Italian company and they have one of the artist's other decks for @ $130 USD plus shipping from Rome.

...tarotbear, I just did an online search and I can only see 8 of the 22 cards...so no way to
put together a copy of this major's only deck yourself... from only 8 cards ...

Maybe you can contact the artists and see if they might know where a copy is or if they are
ever going to do a full 78 cards for this particular deck.

I love the Gummy Bear Tarot. For all that it looks silly, it reads really well. I think the Gummy Bear has my favorite Death card of all time. It just cracks me up.

I'd really like to see a deck with more bears in it! I love bears.

<laughter> I love/hate it whern that happens! Two Pentacles in the Cosmic deck, I'm looking at YOU!

They might also have contact details for the artist. If they do, throw yourself on his mercy and beg, grovel, cry and plead.
