Maya Aztec Mexican deck

[Arabella]

Hi everyone. I am traveling to Mexico in a few weeks and suddenly realised its a good place to get Mayan/Aztec cards.  ;)

I know of the "Mayan Tarot" deck but I'd love to know if anyone knows of a traditional style deck I could get in the Yucatan area.

For me, Rider-Waite is what I call traditional as many modern decks are based on the images and interpretations of those images.

So what I'd like is the Mexican version of a traditional deck, one which modern decks are based on.

Any advise from you lovely, worldly tarot lovers?

I know we have some members here from Mexico, I hope they can steer you in the direction of a shop on Yucatan with Spanish language R-W decks.  Cool souvenir.

Yes I am hoping someone from Mexico jumps in.

Does anyone know anything about Xultun Tarot?

Have you read the AT stuff on this one?

You might also consider Loteria cards?

 

Or there is the Tarot of the Dead

or the new LoS deck Santa Muerta

although you might not be able to buy those in South America when you visit, they might have the kind of feeling you're after?

Thanks Pathwalker, for the suggestion of the Loteria cards. I've had a look online and I love them. Definitely going to get some if I see them anywhere.

 

For the Maya style I'm liking the Xultun deck, and I like the back story on the artist for them and the way the majors form a complete picture when placed together. Fingers crossed I can find them in Merida or Tulum.
