Al the cards are double headed.
HERE are some images. They are a king and three of the MAJORS, for pity's sake. It is a game deck, pure and simple.
I assume you have now gone off it ???
I HOPE so ! This is a genuine de-enable ! Even I  would NEVER have bought it for myself, pretty though the flowers are.
However if your finger is REALLY twitchy for it, Somerville has it for less 
You WILL regret it. |
Well, I'm in the US, so Somerville wouldn't be as good of an option.
Thanks for the link - while I do love the majors as flowers, I thought that the face cards might be in the Nouveau style. but no, just the same grumpy King as in a regular playing card deck. I HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEENABLED!!!
Wooooo!!!!

I started down that road and stopped fast. What's the point.

I do have a handful of playing cards that I like (I'll refrain from mentioning them here in the de-enabling thread...), but you're right. One could go absolutely nuts collecting playing cards.
So, I ordered the Thoth, and didn't order the French Nouveau tarok. (but I also ordered the on-sale Universal Wirth from TG OMG)
Selling tarots doesn't work - the paypal money just burns a hole in my pocket and I buy more. sheesh. (though I did manage to make a nice transfer to my checking before I bought any more!)
