Hi Friends!
After much deliberation I think I am finally ready to dive in and make my first TdM purchase. I have plenty of RWS decks, but want to expand my study and use of tarot into the world of TdM. I currently have slimmed my choices down to one of two below:
Tarot de Marseille de Francois Chosson 1736
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/marseille-francois-chosson/
Tarot de Marseille Pierre Madenie 1709
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/marseille-pierre-madenie/
I love the faces and attention to detail/coloring of the Madenie, however something about the super dark green and messy feel of the Chosson also appeals. I was planning on getting the Madenie, but when I happened into a local shop they had a copy just of the Chosson, and when I picked up the box I just got those good "feels".
So, I wanted to ask you folks here who might have encountered/worked with both in person: Which do you recommend? If you had to choose just one, which would it be? Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
