I agree. Traditional symbolism is almost entirely absent from the Majors and many of the Minors have illustrations that are not obviously related to the suggested interpretation. I see it as more of a fun novelty deck.Solitaire said:I wouldn't recommend Vargo Gothic for someone not solidly established with tarot. As others have said here and there, the author/artist took some pre-existing paintings and put them into a deck. The paintings weren't created to be a tarot deck, so they don't have very much in common with tarot images.

I thought baba posted a few here somewhere ?Astraea Aurora said:Not as I recall. Neither on the Magic Realist Press website nor on bohemiangothic.com are more pcitures of them, I guess due to being unpublished.
The first few that were shown were included on the opening page of bohemiangothic.com in a fan spread. She has not yet uploaded individual cards or the new ones she has shared in the blog.gregory said:I thought baba posted a few here somewhere ?
