If I Don't Write It Down I Forget It. Can You Please Help Me Find a Card I Saw Recently?

[Grandma]

Dear friends - 

 

I recently saw an Empress card online and vowed to order the deck, but I didn't bookmark it and now my Google skills are failing me.  The Empress was portrayed as a tree planted in the ground and becoming a woman as it grew.

 

This Empress spoke so deeply to me that I would buy the deck for that one card alone!

 

I think it was a Ciro Marchetti deck, in which case it should be easy to find, but I can't seem to locate it.  Can anyone help?  Extra points if you answer before @gregory!

 

Love, Grandma

It sort of sounds like a deck by Ana Tourian. Like the Bonestone and earthflesh tarot, it has a pregnant woman grown out of a tree. But I have seen others too. Was it a mass produced deck? 

[gregory]

Do I get extra points by doing it before myself ?

 

Is it this Empress ? Ciro's  Grand Luxe.

That’s nice too. I’m sure that’s what she was looking for. I’ll feature the Bonestone card as well, just to show what I meant

Oh my goodness they are both gorgeous, but gregory's is the one I was looking for

 

Several interesting questions spring to mind:

 

1) Raggydoll responded first but did not give the right answer, so does she get the extra points?  I wasn't specific in my offer and now I'm confused...

 

2) Why did I not easily find this card myself?  Perhaps my lack of a good night's sleep caused a short circuit in my Googling ability.

 

3) Does gregory get extra points for doing it before herself?  The concept of time is fascinating.  If one views it linearly, then I would have to say no.  If it's more of a spiral, then sure, why not!

 

4) You are both amazing - thank you!  How was I lucky enough to find this tarot home and make these tarot friends?

 

5) My tarot budget for the month has long since been exceeded.  Should I wait until tomorrow to begin tapping into next month's allocated funds, or just order the deck now!  I've never been too good at delayed gratification, but surely I can hold out until midnight...

 

Love, Grandma

I don’t need any extra points, you can safely give them to Gregory! ❤️

[gregory]

Just buy the bloody thing. But it's USG, so shouldn't be TOO bankrupting ! (Mine is the LE, inscribed by the artist "To my favourite Granny from Hell....")

Aww! Thank you @Grandma! There is nothing better than being awarded a gold star, especially after the lousy week I’ve been having (just the bad health stuff that sadly got worse. But now my rheumatologist has put me on a medical treatment that I hope will turn things around. Your gold star surely helped though! ❤️)

And, sorry for all the enabling 😆 

 

[Grandma]

I'm sorry you've been sick, Raggydoll.  Here's a get well card to cheer you up.

I really like this deck, but I can't find it on Amazon. Do you have any suggestions re where I find this deck to buy?

There’s a thread about it here on the forum but basically it is an independently published deck that was a pre-order only and it’s still in the printing process. There won’t be a second edition and it’s technically sold out, but since some preorders were cancelled those will be made available to people who have subscribed to a special newsletter. If you join the Facebook group or read in the thread here on the forum then you’ll get the full picture!
