That Taschen book is just lovely. I saw it for sale in - of all places - a cafe in Paris where I have also found some unusual decks in my time ! a couple of years ago and had to get me a copy. I'm not sure what I await, I was recently given a deck from a small US publisher, and two of the cards are wrong. I contacted them and for many complicated reasons they can only mail to the US and Canada (it was bought in Canada.,) So they sent a whole replacement deck to a friend there - I just want the two cards, but she says she's going to mail the whole deck - and it's REALLY heavy, so I said please don't. But I'm not sure what to expect now !
CBM – A Fool’s Journey is a tarot-centered story received by grace as dictation through a lens of dubiously understood depth psychology. I'm sharing it with the community in the hope it may resonate with some of you. We are ONLY HERE.
Details -The deck contains the traditional 36 cards + 9 additional cards (people, tree, animals), for a total of 45 cards. The box set includes an illustrated guidebook of 188 pages.
The sacred Indian tarot is pretty much a RWS clone, but it has it's own approach towards a few cards. Rohit Arya is the person who conceptualized the theme of this deck which deals with Indian mythology and culture. The four suits are Disks for Pentacles, Lotuses for Cups, Staves for Wands and Arrows for swords. Each suit deals with a epic and or life story of a hero of that story. For example, the disks suit deals with the life story of Gowthama Buddha... his journey from being Siddhartha to becoming Buddha... The suit of Wands deals with the epic Ramayana and it's major topics. The back of the card is Shri Yantra, one of the mystic symbols of Hindu religion.... it is highly revered and worshiped for its potency.The illustration of this deck was done by Jane Adams... It seems this deck took whole 10 years to come together and to be put on the market.
The art work on the deck is amazing. This deck comes in a sturdy box which is covered with all the art work on the cards. A 350 page book which explains the card and it's meaning in detail. The book also has a few elaborate spreads. I did not like the tone of the author in the starting few pages, in a few instances... after i got past it, I found some really good information on how to use this deck.
This deck comes with four extra cards, the images of which I have uploaded. The world and the death have 2 cards A and B, and there are two blessing cards, one is "Blessings of Ganesha" the other is "blessings of Babaji". I have added the picture of how these cards look as well.
