The venerable Quantum tarot is going OOP. I look at it and my eyes glaze over.
Why should I care about cards with all that TIME AND SPACE AND PHYSICS AND ... ***agony*** in them?
Because life, Tarot and mysticism are ALL about time, space and physics! they're the fundamental building-blocks of everything about us, physical. mental and spiritual. Do you choose to live in ignorance like people suppressed by the Spanish Inquisition, or do you want your eyes opened to the wonders of the universe?

Can I be enabled in time to buy the deck while it's still reasonably priced?
Absolutely.
Buy now.

I hear people singing the praises of this deck.
Words fail us. It's impossible to convey how positive this deck is for us. Our enabling words are a mere chimera of what they're trying to convey.
Buy now.

I like oversized decks, that feel good in the hand. I like decks whose images sing for me.
It is not oversized-tall, but it is oversized-wide, and it is oversized-thick. It feels good an' chunky, a reassuring deck to hold. you're left with the impression that it's a Deck Of Substance. And while all decks have some lovers and some detractors, I don't think I've seen a single negative post about this deck. I'd know - I'd be on their case in an instant.

This deck falls flatter than a pancake. And I'm a huge Star Trek fan, so I love space. At least, in theory. But IMO, outer space does not belong on a deck.
Have you *seen* the deck? It's far more serious and far more beautiful than Startrek, which is all about polished plastic hallways, odd makeup jobs, sexual politics and expensive minimal furniture, not space itself.
And Quantum Mechanics is not, actually, the science of space - that's astro-physics. Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small, of subatomic particles which are the building-blocks of the world and the spirit, of quantum foam which arguably is where spiritual awareness and communication begins, of irresistible forces like gravity, electricity (and who hasn't had it crackle during a sexually charged reading?), the Strong Force (which keeps atoms together and prevents us disintegrating into meaninglessness) and so forth, communication between particles (how much more mystical than that can you get?) and so on and so forth. What happens at the level of the very, very tiny is mystical and fascinating.

And is anyone *actually* going to tell me that they read with this deck??? I mean, really??? Maybe if you are a pro tarot reader who can read with anything. But what about us mortals?
All the time. And I definitely can't read with anything. And it is the
ONLY deck that has EVER given a stranger, a client, a brilliant reading right out of the box before I've had a chance to spend time with it. (They fell in love with it on my table, where I had it to learn on between clients, and wouldn't listen to me when I told them they had to choose between half a dozen other decks and that I was just learning that one, they fell in love with it instantly, and two days ago an ancient Peruvian village-woman whose *daughter* was 71 instantly fell in love with it.

I don't want any punches pulled; I want *straight,* honest answers!
I dare and challenge you to call ANYTHING I've said less than the strict truth!

Now try to enable that!
<sigh> I can't. My enabling skills fail me. No one can find the words to tell you how exceptional this deck is. All I can say is it's the best thing to happen to Tarot since the Visconti-Sforza.
I realise that's inadequate. And that's just for general conversation, it's criminally negligent for an enabling thread.
Although now I have started thinking maybe I will get the Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle before I get the Stella. As lovely as Stella is, the Faery Oracle is calling meeeeeee! 
But seriously, I do think I deserve a reward. 
And I like Thoth-based decks, as long as they aren't Thoth. I can't seem to wrap myself around the Thoth imagery, but I adore the Rohrig. It and I get along most splendidly. 
I hope good things! 
Although part of me is still holding out, needing to be enabled on that darned artwork (so small!) and the darned text, which I am clueless about! But it looks pretttttty.
