What is this tarot deck called?

runath

Hi all, new member here but I am trying to buy a tarot deck for my mum for Christmas but she likes a specific type. The link below is to a picture does anyone know the name of the deck? I think its based on the rider waite deck but I know its not the radiant deck.

Any help would be appreciated as I would like to surprise her.

Thank you
Jon.

I've seen the deck (I probably even own it), but for the life of me, I can't remember what it's called. Still, I have an idea for your mother. Why not buy her a membership here? Then she gets to play with lots and lots of us, gets to see many marvellous decks even before they're published often, and generally have a fantastic time. :)

Welcome, by the way. Nice to have you here.

I do believe this is "Simply Tarot" by Amanda Hall. It is an Australian Rider-Waite clone, usually sold in a box set with a handbook and a disc of some kind.
It is very reasonably priced and and Published by Hinkler press.
It has a lot of key words?
How do I know this?...... It was once the only deck I owned.... My first deck.

I think she's right. And some of the images are so badly photoshopped it's fun !

http://www.simplytarot.com.au/Amanda-Hall.html She seems to hate making videos, poor woman :D (and I never heard it called di-vinny-ation before ;))

I wouldn't buy it from her though - that's NOT cheap (and they usually are cheap !) There are some on Australian ebay. Be careful you aren't just bidding for the book.... :D

Usually available in "cheap shops" - in the UK I got mine in The Works for £4. She's Australian so that might make it easier for you. And if she's never used cards before the DVD isn't at all bad, though I see a few boxes on line don't mention the DVD.

Be careful though - there is another "Simply Tarot" kit that contains the Golden Gomera/New Century tarot instead ! (that box is square and blueish)

So do NOT buy her this one.
