8-8-8

One of the strangest things for me publishing a tarot deck is that it is like a moment locked in time. All of these images are what was true for me at one point, but I have continued to study and write and learn and they are very different now, at least if the images aren’t different the understanding is far deeper for me now. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they are wrong and in many cases I…

Rantings of an INFP, lol

7-9-2023 10 of Disks reversed,  3 of Swords,  4 of Cups reversed The first thing I noticed was the pretty blue of this set of cards.  I have been making strategies and naming them mostly after blue shades of color so that’s cool. I see the 10 of disks and the 4 of cups as cards I would desire and they are reversed where the 3 of swords that I wouldn’t want is upright lol.  But its ok. Remember…

2nd Edition update

I finally received my advance copy of the reprinted 2nd edition!

The box issue was addressed and the cards came shrink wrapped so they no longer float around in the box where they can get damaged.

The problematic black edging is gone and now they have silver gilding which looks really nice! It was a total surprise to me. The black edging had made the cards stick together and when you…

Update 8-8-2019

I talked to Schiffer yesterday and they said they expect the new decks to be done and ready to ship by the end of August. The decks are done and are being assembled now. They will ship out the replacement copies right away and I should be getting a copy too so I can go over it and let you all know how it is.

As soon as I get it I’ll post something here.

Have a nice day everyone!

Update on the 2nd Edition

Update on the 2nd Edition

The Mary-el 2nd Edition has had a rough start!

In May the new Mary-el 2nd edition started arriving and it quickly became clear that something was wrong.  The insert in the box was defective. It allowed the cards to move freely in the box which caused damage to them as they banged around during transport.  Also, the black gilding was causing the cards to stick together.  When pulled apart it…

3 of Swords and XX Judgment

3 of Swords and XX Judgment

3 of Swords, Sola Busca The 3 of Swords

The Sola Busca is the oldest intact 78 card  tarot deck we have, created around 1491.  It featured alchemical  and philosophical symbolism as well as a  beautifully illustrated minor arcana.  It inspired at least some of the illustrated minors painted by Pamela Colman Smith  in the Rider Waite, which was first published in 1909.  In the 400 years…

The New Hierophant, 2nd Edition

The New Hierophant, 2nd Edition

V The Hierophant, The Mary-el Tarot 2nd Edition

The next card I want to talk about is V The Hierophant.

This is one of the 4 cards that I chose to repaint in the new 2nd edition of the Mary-el Tarot coming out in May.

I loved the old version and it was a hard decision to make, but ultimately I thought I could do better at balancing the energy. The old card tipped too much toward the…

New High Priestess

II The High Priestess,The Mary-el 2nd Edition

The first of the 4 cards I repainted for the Mary-el 2nd Edition is II The High Priestess.  There is a lot I liked about the original; the dark waters and her connection to them, the pregnant belly with the tree of life on it.  The two towers off in the distance.  But, it was missing a few things that bothered me as time went on.  I was happy when…

Mary-el Tarot, 2nd Edition

Last week I received my first advance copy of The Mary-el Tarot, 2nd Edition!  It really wasn’t that long of a wait.  Schiffer contacted me early last year and said the first edition was running low and wondered if I had anything I would like to add, change, or update to make a new edition.  After some thought I came up with a list of suggestions and ideas.

I…
