As promised, here are some Aces pics. The first three are the Ancestral Path's Ace of Swords and Ace of Cups, and Robin Wood's Ace of Pents.


While these are all Marchetti's: Legacy of the Divine on the upper row, plus the Guilded Tarot (his first) on the lower row (I'm having to make a lot of trials to get them a reasonable size).


Anyway, I thought if we are going to study all Minor Arcana from the Aces up, I could take this chance to introduce Marchetti´s decks for those interested in browsing them. The graphics quality is superb, even if my scanner does them little justice.  

Hi Pirbid,

These cards are outstandingly beautifull. And as I said in my PM. we can see that some authors truly focussed on certain aspects. The Robin Wood, you know, I had this deck. This deck is the one I started with.

The history of it is colorful. It was bought at a garage sale by a friend's friend's brother, toghether with a book by P. Scott Hollander. Eventually my friend (Shirley) ended up with the cards and book as she is Rosecruction. She does numerology. We went to visit her on her farm and just started chatting. And being Wiccan, you know we have certain links to the Rossecrutions. Then she pulled out this lot. Well, that was me hooked. I "borrowed" the cards and book to see what it's all about.

Well, I merely let her know, your cards will not find their way to you ever! After that, when going to JHB, I used to buy decks which are available at the flea-markets. Got the RW, Celtic Dragon, Witches Tarot, Haindl and the "Celestial Goddess".

This now, the Celtic Dragon, I gave to my ex, The Goddes I gave to Shirley. It was to "fem" for me. The Witches Tarot I gave to anothe friend. And my Robin Wood, I also departed with, to another friend.

I decided that from now, when I buy new decks, I will have them floated in glass. It makes for a very, very interesting compendium and is absolutely not thousands to buy a painting. I think the first one will be the Guilded Tarot, who will sponsor?

Blessed be
