AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 welcome home mesmericsiren! I don't have that one but I've had tons of Lo Scarabeo decks over the years. And a love hate relationship. early on the LoS decks were a problem and then a challenge, they Always throw in a few cards that make no standard deck sense at all. Later I like them best for the very same thing, they made me work for an answer. I'm sure someone will come along with a response, but just wanted to pop in and say howdy. Sharyn/AJ

Sharyn/AJ Hi Sharyn, thank you for your reply. I initially was browsing the bookstore near my home and was drawn to the deck because it looks very pretty and the colors are vivid (on the box). I also got the tarot familiar deck along with this one but have not really touched that yet. Its super cute though. I tried reading for myself with the mystical deck intuitively because uhm i didnt see any numbering or anything on it so i got a little lost (noobie me didnt quite understand) and just went with my gut feel instead. Its a beautiful deck but not as vibrant as the box. Might need to just spend more time studying the cards for now [emoji16] Sent from my CPH1701 using Tapatalk
offramp Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I am a big fan of Giuliano Costa's Mystical Tarot. When I first looked at it, it reminded me of the famous Codex Seraphinianus which I had recently bought. They are by different people, although both are Italian. The deck is 78 carefully-painted cards. They are very clear. When I looked at them I could hardly believe how well they were painted: how long does one card take? How long does it take to make a full deck? It is a huge commitment of time... And they have all been fully thought through before any painting begins. The cards are directly in the RWS tradition. At the following link you can see the 7 of Cups. The contents of the cups are clearer than in any other RWS Tarot that I know; the Magus that has brought forth the cups is wearing two fish-head items of clothing and a St Jacques shell. Lots of food for thought. https://get.google.com/albumarchive/112868448452435024861/album/AF1QipNzQb-ei0O_tbH_kck2z00OX7yzsI-D47eH22ui/AF1QipNl2fUw-MGpUNDrjt1DVJkNH9hacgVFtzOzKAAg Edited September 25, 2019 by offramp Forgot link
