I have a basket of cheap kicking-around decks anyone can play with and one got wrecked, so I bought a new cheap german deck pretty much sight unseen. It's called Das Keltische Baum (the celtic tree) tarot - Levine/Wallrath - and it's a bit strange.
Unillustrated pips, and most of the majors resemble a Wirth or Marseille deck.
My mom's german but I only know a few words. I just have other german decks to compare with and a translator. Most of the majors look traditional but are named unexpected things to me - the chariot says willfulness, death says melancholy, the world just says nature, moon is doubt, devil is ambition and so on.
The female pope is replaced with a man(?) called the sensitiveness - with a twirled mustache and a sword. The pope is now a native looking man called the wisdom. The tower is red arrows from the sun, called creation. They all have the same black border, except the emperor's is red, the lover's is green, and the sun's is yellow. And then, each major features and corresponds to a different tree listed in the book, which is not weird considering the title
. The aces and courts all have mountains in the background.
I haven't personally seen one like it before. Anyway, didn't see anything much here about this deck, so I thought I'd post it if anyone had any thoughts or was curious to see. Sorry, didn't know if this should go in with the Marseille or in general tarot decks.
