The Witches Tarot

Post by Aurora »

Hi friends!

I will like to have The Witches Tarot for the Orphalese. Still have not found it in the web... If someone have it for the Orphalese, please download it in the exchange page, or send it to:
auroradivination@gmail.com

Or if someone knows where I can download it, please send the link.

Thanks!

Aurora

Hi Aurora,

I think that I have it. I'm following Dominatrix's lead and getting my hard drive in order. As soon as I find it, I'll post it.

Later,

If no one gets hurt, I would like to point a certain aspect that's worrying me a little lately. We're starting to duplicate decks and asking also for Tarots ALREADY uploaded into the Deck Exchange. If the Tarot of The Witches we're talking about is the one published by US Games Systems and the one that fortuneteller Solitaire uses on James Bond's blockbuster movie Live And Let Die uses... the same Tarot I own from a lot of years ago and one of my faves, same than Bond tricked changing all cards into The Lovers for nailing Solitaire (a wonderful Jane Seymour, must add)... then it's on Deck Exchange since 17/11/2004. Have a look. If I'm wrong, let me know. Best.

Hi Dominatrix,

As far as I know, this is a new deck. I have some of the cards from it. Unfortuneately, the names get mixed up between the two decks. Even a google search will bring up both decks.

Later,

The Witches Tarot is not the same as the 007 Tarot of the Witches. It's by Ellen Cannon Reed and illustrated by Martin Cannon, published by Llewellyn in 1989. It has a very strange caballistic tone, boring trumps, excellent pips. Wands are air and Swords are fire. The artwork is very good, and sometimes surprising. I have it in paper, but not in digital form. Someday I may scan it, but my list of decks to scan is already quite long, so it may be a while.
