I'm seeking out decks where the subject of groups of cards are connected, like same-numbered Minors, all of the Majors, all cards of one suit, etc.
What decks show for example the same person or thing as the subject of all ten or fourteen Wands cards, or in all Swords, so that you have four people going through the cards of four suits? Or where the same person is depicted in all Majors, like the stages of a Fool's Journey story?
Examples:
The Gay Tarot has ten people depicted across the identically numbered cards. If a Minor card matches a Major's number, the Major character appears in it. The Magician is Major I and shows a stage magician, so the Aces all depict the pip rising out of a magician's hat with magic wand. The Lovers are Major VI, so the four 6's depict the pair in four scenes from their relationship.
In the Mythic Tarot, each of the four suits is a story from Greek myth told in ten segments. Jason and the Argonauts for example is the subject of the ten Wands cards, and Daedalus of the ten Pentacles. The main character is present in every card and interacting with different people or things each time.
I really enjoy this visual interconnection as a reading aid. It probably applies more to non-pip decks that have more artistic freedom for storytelling, but anything is good.
