I believe I have the right name for this deck, based on some Google searching...does anyone know anything about this deck? I can't find much information about it, but I find these images so captivating.

 

Can't help, but love the contrast of the blue and russet.  <3

I like the artwork on this deck! The blue/orange contrast is my favourite :D Engel is angel in many languages including my own and those sure looks like angels.

Engel Tarot - by Alois Hanslain. ISBN 3-922936-61-x

Cards are big - 15.5 cm x 11 cm - majors only, plain white unprinted backs. Colour tone is as you say very dark gold/mustard and blue. Titles are tiny white print on bottom edge, in German. No LWB or title card, just 9 lines of text (in German) on the back of the pack.

Like many European decks it does have a degree of nudity - mostly nipples showing through sheer cloth - if that bothers folks?

 

here is the Tarot Garden entry for it:

This is indeed the Engel Tarot by Alois Hanslian. A German artist. It is put of print and even hard to find in Europe.

Thanks so much, everyone, for your help and information with this one! Argh, why do I always have to be falling in love with OOP and HTF decks  :'( I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for this one. Keep hope alive  ;)

 

Oh, and I see this artist has done an oracle deck as well? I'm glad to learn of him.

The artist did three oracles:

 

The Bach-Bluten Devas (bluten means blossom)

The Orchideeen-Bluten Devas

I Ging Orakel

 

The first two can actually be found quite easily in Europe. Unlike the Engel Tarot

Ahh! Thank you!

The deck looks gorgeous but after looking at the price tag at Tarot Garden I will not be getting this deck lol.  The art is gorgeous though.

I'd keep an eye out - I found a deck somewhere (eBay?  etsy? maybe even on Amazon)  a few years ago from somewhere and the price  wasn't bad. 

I have a boxed set of Engel Tarot cards. They are Major Arcana only. It comes with a book, entirely in German. The  ISBN is : 3-922936-61-X. I bought them in the UK in 1987.

Ahh! Very nice, cdsmiller17[/member]! I would still love to find a copy but no luck yet.

Maybe I'm meant to sell them to you. Make me an offer...
