Raggydoll replied to BrightEye's topic in OraclesIt’s a German suited deck, so it can be read just like other German playing cards. You should be able to find keywords for German suits if you do an online search. -
BrightEye posted a topic in OraclesDoes anyone own this deck? It’s actually a playing card deck from the 1880s and not medieval but very pretty. I’d like opinions on card stock quality and if anyone has read with it, maybe as a cartomancy deck?

BrightEye replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the Week@Rachelcat You might try looking at the animal symbolism another way. With Lenormand, for example, the Snake is in a similar position- falseness etc. and the Fox likewise. If you trace the symbolism back to pre-Christian times, you’ll get different meanings. I have found the deck adjusts its language to these new readings if you are sincere.

The Deleted World Tarot
If you're nostalgic about the early internet, or were born too late but wish you'd surfed it before corporations got their claws in it, this deck might be for you. It's a bit odd, like those weird sites you'd come across that felt like hidden treasures, since often you would need to stumble upon them or hear about them from a stranger in chat. (To this day I miss a site where you'd type words to change a simple line layout of an apartment. Like an early word cloud. Just in my memory, unless you remember it too? Or the Death Clock, which was more well known, and gave me a date I'm happy to say I passed years ago. 😅)
Artist/Author - Josh Urban Davis
Self-Published (2024, crowdfunded)
Card Size - Standard
Cards - 80 (One extra card "The Thing Between Worlds" and one deck number card)
Card stock - 350gsm premium linen (Matte. A lot like the MPC linen with a great feel, good for riffle, and a that slight woven texture on the card)
Guidebook - Atlas of Deleted Worlds, 120 pages comes with deck
Box - Lidded hard cardboard
Edition - First, numbered
Purchase here - https://joshurbandavis.com/shop.htmlDetails: Art includes collage. No AI was used. Photo shows The Fool, 7 of Pixels (Wands), Ace of Glitches (Cups), card back, and on the second row the 5 of Glitches, Queen of Illusions (Swords) 6 of Components (Pents) and LWB. With the exception of courts, cards have a different title for upright or reversed (or if like me you don't read reversals, a second title to consider within the range of meanings for a card.) 10s are numbered Ø.
The art is surreal; the color pallet is meant to remind you of back in the day, and the theme is front and center throughout. It's not a RWS clone by any means, and not a deck I'd recommend for beginners.
From the creator: "The Deleted World Tarot is a tool for healing the rift between the choices of the past and the consequential loss of alternative futures. A tool and a story told out of order and out of time, it's a hope that illuminates the worlds we lose by the choices we make every day, and a call to consider what is worth saving. What is not saved will be lost."
