Silenus Tarot

Ashtaroot

Does anyone knows anything about Silenus Tarot by Mike Indovina
and if you own it, what do you think?

I was reading at the Comic-con and met the artist of this deck very cool guy..
It is a very cute deck based on Greek mythology but it is nothing like the Mythic Tarot. It has more details and every card is a different story. The deck is based on the RW so very easy to read even for beginners.

My kids love it!!! A very kid friendly deck. I know a lot of AT members would like it as well.

It is the same size as the Gummybear tarot and it comes in a plastic plexigalss box. The deck is very detailed and lots of vibrant colors.

All mythology buffs are gonna totally love this one.

I invited the artist to our AT world so we should be hearing from him soon.

EDITED TO ADD: I just found a few HERE but will search for more.

Is the middle card in the link lunakasha provided supposed to be the Lovers? (Paris choosing between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite?) If so, why is it numbered 7 (assuming the number in the upper right corner is the card number. As a Major, it doesn't have the same top border as the other cards.
 

Ashtaroot

no this is the 7 of cups the lover card has Psyche and Eros

Thank you Lunakasha for the link

I will try to get more info

Gotcha. That's a cup behind the 7! It looked like wings to me. (Also, that same scene is the Lovers in the Mythic.)

I forgot to mention that the deck comes with information about each card and the story behind it.

It is just a fun deck IMHO

Is this self-published, Ashtaroot? It looks quite interesting.

ETA: Just found a geocities site Satyr Play Productions with info saying it's $17
 

Ashtaroot

Yes it is self published I think.

The artist Mike Indovina tried to join AT but the site won't let him until Sep1 (I don't know what is going on)
This is what I got from him so far

Also, to answer some of the questions -- Yes, it is self published. Also, the $17 dollar price on my website includes shipping.
