Grand Ellessia deck

[gregory]

The Grand Ellessia deck seems to be moving ahead now - it stalled for YEARS.

It's kind of wonderfully insane... I hope it gets printed.

I just noticed: Ellessia/Aisselle is similar to Etteilla/Alliette, at least regarding the naming.

 

The pig-tailed Dorothy in some of the cards is a rather shady character tho. I just can't put my finger on it. :P

[gregory]

It is indeed. Were you not on AT for the great THING about all this ? A group of us tried to get certificated on ebay with a nonsense essay, and from there onwards...

"She" has her own website. http://aisselleggabegietarotinsights.wordpress.com/

 

I am just so glad the deck is finally getting there. It was such fun in its day. It would be great if the site took off again like it used to. (Post, EK - I DARE you !) There was once a very serious person on there saying  Aisselle should read Joan Bunning....

It seems to be almost done now ! Freaky. isn't it ?

So glad to see it taking shape! I remember the threads at AT. It is still as tasteful as I remember. [emoji3]

Drop by her website. It's slowly coming back to life !

WHUT?  :o

[EmpyreanKnight]

I believe I haven't seen a Tarot deck that features a girl with the beginnings of facial hair before, but she is so charming, I just don't have the heart to complain. :))

[gregory]

Does no-one else here remember the whole thing on AT, way back when ? FLiz, you even posted in the threads, I think.

 

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL. And she will read for you if you post on her site. I think she'll actually have finished the deck by the time I get back from Oz.

 

She is a bit hairy... :D

I DID? This looks hard to forget. But then my memory has always been notoriously patchy...

[AJ-ish/Sharyn]

I remember, but never quite got carried up with the mob mentality :)

[Morsoth]

She is a bit hairy... :D

 

Funny because "Ellessia" reversed is "Aisselle", the French word for Armpit!  ;)  ;D

[EmpyreanKnight]

Her actual name is Aisselle Gabegie, Morsoth. I think we shouldn't let her know what her name means, she's such a tender (albeit hirsute) girl and we don't want to hurt her feelings. If my parents named me Armpit I'd be none too pleased. :(

[Morsoth]

Oh I truly didn't want to hurt the feelings of Aisselle Gabegie. She is a great Tarotist and her name is now stronger and more powerful than some common words associated with it.  <3

[DanielJUK]

I missed this originally on AT because it was before my time  :'( But how wonderful this deck is going again and Aisselle is back around  :) <3

[gregory]

I dare you ask her for a reading... The ones on her site are "different", but y'know, they make a ghastly kind of sense!

 

Mob mentality, flaxen? It started out genuinely trying to expose a charlatan on eBay. And actually I followed the guy afterwards and he has got worse and offers paid for certification in practically anything, on a huge website. I think we did a good thing ridiculing him in public.

 

ETA look!

Heads up - she's actually got it up for sale !
