Stunning deck. One of my favourites. Don't listen to the naysayers who say it is full of skinny, sick people from a concentration camp. It is a wonderful, wonderful deck. Everything about this deck just sings to me. The poise, the elegance, the fin de siecle decadence, the contorting sirens and nymphs beckoning you into a shimmering netherworld of opulence and sensuality.
It bears little resemblance to the RWS deck but I just find it so, so readable. I have mine in a baba Klimt bag and is the deck I reach for when I do not want to be fettered by the RWS or Thoth or any other system. I just lay the cards out and they sing and beckon to one another, like mermaids calling to one another as they preen.
I thought I'd hate this deck. I put off buying it for ages, thinking it would be unconvincing copies of paintings I love, but it soon sucked me into its flickering, gaslit, twilight world of vice and temptation! Yay! Love it. Dig that glittering gold!
And I never even notice the borders any more...
