H. Bosch Tarot [KS] Impressions?

[Wyrdkiss]

Greetings eveyrone,

 

What are your thoughts on this one? With a bit of scrolling you'll see the suites are changed into 7 different types.  Im very tempted because I've been fascinated with his artwork since discvoering it in childhood, but I am uncertain of the utility of the pack.

I looooooove Bosch. But it's a no from me.
"How will my workweek go?" (images of hell) OK, that's probably accurate. But:
"Will my yeasted waffles turn out perfectly?" (images of hell) EXCUSE ME BUT I'M A DAMN GOOD COOK.
I just don't do Bosch Tarots. I can gaze at his stuff endlessly, but as a Tarot - no.
YMMV.

Interesting, but it seems more an Oracle.

With 7 suits and for each one a Page, a Prince, a Queen and a King, there will be a lot of figures in this deck! For the Majors there are choices the artist made and that I understand, other that surprise me a bit.

The back of cards is gorgeous! (I know we don't read with the back 😄 )

 

But this project involves a lot of work regarding restoration so that's nice the deck was funded! Otherwise even if I was interested I recognize that I haven't the patience to wait for about 5 or 6 months (I did it for a few projects on Kickstater but well, it's a bit long for me).

Nice restoration - but I object to his saying no-one has ever dared to create a deck using Bosch's original work (assuming he doesn't mean he actually went and worked with the actual paintings in museums.)

 

I like the look of it actually. I read with my LoS Bosch - not all original work, but there's a lot in there - it FEELS Boschy.

I kickstarted this one as I’ve been fascinated with Bosch since my college days.

 

@Decan The deck is scheduled for November. I know many KS projects slip, but this creator has a good track record.

Yes I exaggerated a bit because it's generally less, and here November it's really soon!

 

ETA: I think the Kickstarter when I've waited the most was for the Pagan Otherworld Tarot several years ago; I checked that, and indeed, their campaign was during October 2015 but in August 2016 we still waited the deck (delay, delay); I think I received it during autumn 2016, so 1 year after the campaign (my first Kickstater 😄 the others were quicker but I wouldn't repeat this one though!), but it's another story of course!

I'll be honest that I really don't like the art choices here. There was a playing card deck that was up recently which was amazing, IMO, except of course, it was a playing card deck. I've been meaning to message the creator with one of my HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A TAROT DECK?? messages. >.>

Thanks for the replies everyone. I opted to pass, but it is on my radar. I agree with some of the posts above -- work is hellish enough without pinpointing at 7:30 AM the particular plane of hell it will reside in!

 

Seriously though, this would just be a fun flip-through collectible conversation starter if ever acquired.
