Venice? Are you planning on beginning a Cities of the World Tour collection? That's where it will end up, you know.

OOooo... Now THERE'S an idea... :laugh:

I need *serious* help... I've just ordered 4!!! decks from Alida, and I'm still desperately wanting the Venice Tarot AND the Bacchus!

This would mean being broke for 3 weeks, but STILL I don't care...

HEEELLLLP!
The Bacchus????This Bacchus????

The Scapini Bacchus??? That Hack???? Are you out of your mind??? You'll only encourage him!!! Just look at those scans...the Ace of Wands is positively pornographic! And those 2 guys in mini-dresses? The size of their a$$es is revolting!! Lots of Booze and no exercise! What are you thinking? And this is not a cheap deck, just ugly, socially retrograde and generally revolting! A bunch of drunken misshapen slobs cavorting about and promoting drinking and driving, and, God Forbid, reproducing themselves in yet another doomed generation of Rowdy Drunks with damaged DNA!!

Not to mention that for the price of the deck you yourself could get slobbering spit-spraying knee-walking-wake up in Tijuana in bed with a sailor and a donkey and no memory of getting there-tearing drunk, with empty pockets and a lethal cheap wine hangover. You could do it several times. Which, oddly enough, would be the better choice. Or you could save your money to spend on some infinitely more worthwhile deck in the future.

So step away. Just put down your credit card and back away from the computer. It's the best thing for you. really.

Magpie, you make me laugh aloud - especially refreshing after yet another sleepless night, due to the troll in the attic (i.e. the flat above me, inhabited by an extremely noisy, clonking, door-slamming, nocturnal female weirdo. I'm ready to end it all from sheer fatigue ... or comfort my fading psyche with new decks.)

So, please someone, tell me why I don't need another Zerner-Farber. I have the little standalone deck, which is much more than a pretty face & helps me enormously, with the added pinky-purplishness of comfort too. (Not my usual style - but hard times!)
I also have recently got the Enchanted, w lovely book & bag, in a trade. (Thanks, Millie! x)
But, being obsessed, I now yearn for the Kit, with dvd & standby spare deck, so that if anything happens to my 1st little one, which goes everywhere with me, I'll have a backup.

Is this reasonable???

If it IS, then please de-enable me instead from the shiny, golden LS Visconti by Atanassov. After 3 hrs' sleep, I need SOMETHING to live on for!!!

The gold is just *too* gold - it burns your retinas.

But the *really* scary thing about this deck is the Devil - it is the living, spitting image of a certain occultist I used to know in my long-ago Sydney days (ie, prior to 1991). It was painted in the early 1400s, and is a photo-realistic portrait of him. I've eaten the guy's food, and slept on his lounge. *Now* I'm scared. Don't get the deck - the Devil's eyes don't follow you around the room because they're skilfully painted, they follow you around the room because they're REAL!

If you really must, go for the miniature version of the "same" deck - the non-existent gold won't blow your circuits and it strangely has a different Devil card which works a lot better and looks completely different to ... er ...

<grin> It's good de-enabling, isn't it. All I'm allowed to say here, is that that's just what it is - de-enabling.

Lines.

Between.

Read.

Hmmm ... burnt retinas - not comforting!
That devil sounds the scariest I've yet encountered. And he's real, & living in Sydney? Oo-err! I wonder if he travels?
Could you possibly send him up to the attic flat? (Moves finger towards 'order now' button, whilst scattering salt, crucifixes & garlic around own flat & wildly Lesser-Banishing away ...)

I remember him as a somewhat younger human. Bembo painted him 550+ years earlier as a fiend incarnate. Trust me, you don't want him upstairs. Who wants to live below someone that old.

Hey, I'll de-enable you on *anything!*
