This is a revisit to the magical Tarot of Prague. This time, to the 1st Edition. Back on July 9-15, 2011, I originally visited this tarot and was astounded. Logically, I shouldn't like this deck at all. I looked at it and sniffed disdainfully when it first appeared in shops. Funny, how things change!
This deck came to me from the same person who gifted me the 2nd Edition. Also, the book! This time 'round, having the book to read about the images was a real treat. I appreciate that they have included this information as well as historical information. This brings depth to the cards that was missing without having the book at hand.The card stock is much more firm in this deck than the 2nd Edition. More like the Bohemian Gothic, 2nd Edition. It is in a little portfolio which ties with golden ribbon. Very fitting. The colors seem richer than the new edition.
I could go on about how beautiful it is to work with - or you could just click the link above and visit the previous entry. I enjoy the deck immensely, but this one has been put back into its portfolio, tied with care, and stored back in an antique cigar box with my other prized decks. I will use the 2nd edition for every day use!
Shown are my three favorite cards from the deck.
