Of course, it is always possible to reinvent the wheel from the original Cypher Manuscripts
Which f/b gd group? There are several.Don't have permission to reproduce it here -- but some tarot material I hadn't seen before, c. 1890, has recently been posted on the f/b golden dawn group.

I felt like I'd seen some of these cards before, and then realized at the Lovers that I was thinking of Robert Wang's deck from Qabalistic Tarot. The Hanged Man really reminded me of that deck as well. For me it underlines how much Waite and Crowley broke with GD tradition, even though both of their decks are so influenced by it.I have personally seen and handled several of the original GD notebooks (for instance - the paper transcribed on my blog above), and I have an original deck from the Felkins' New Zealand order. The Majors only can be seen here. I don't know why they never posted the Minors (a few of which can be seen on my blog post): http://hermetic.com/gdlibrary/tarot/whare_ra/tarot1.html .
There is a brief section with three-card examples by "G.H. Frater S.R.M.D" (Mathers) and a much larger section with OOTK examples by "D.D.C.F" (also Mathers).
These examples by Mathers, which are not included with many of the Book T texts, are invaluable.The three card examples are online here:
