Got it, I edited my original post to reflect that. When I saw it I assumed that we all got the same one or that they were different, that's all.

Let me express again, how excited I am to get this deck and see it in person. Off the meter excited :).

Yep, "Off the meter excited"--that sums it up for me, too. My most special treasured deck of all time is my first edition hand made Tarot of the Crone by Ellen. So...yep, i have really, really been chomping at the bit for this new creation...with sooooo many of my very favorite goddesses depicted. :)

ETA: and peeps are starting to receive their packages! :party: i have a strong feeling mine might be here today. (((MG crosses her fingers and toes)))

She's Here!!!!!!!!!

And i am beside myself with joy! :heart:
It is so rewarding when you are looking forward to something
with every fiber of your being, and it not only lives up to your expectations--
but far exceeds them! That is the case here!

The deck is more beautiful and vibrant than the scans could capture;
The cardstock is sturdy and is a semi gloss or semi matte, never really quite
sure which to call it. :)
it comes in a sturdy and equally vibrant 2 part lidded box.
The lwb is simple, but to the point; and it contains a few color pics
and a couple of spreads.
Ellen is in the process of writing a much more
definitive companion book; and i really look forward to that.

The Pre-order goodies are lovely; i don't want to give away
just what they are, in order to keep the element of surprise
for those who have yet to receive their pre-order package. ;)

And of course my raffle ticket.) i so want to win
one of those hand made beaded amulets of La Santa Muerte,
more than i can express...

But good luck to all of us who pre-ordered and have a raffle ticket and
a chance to win one of the 5 being offered as prizes.
The drawing is going to occur sometime during
the next Dark of the Moon, i believe i heard.

Again, i am extremely happy with this entire package;
It is first class all the way!

ETA: After spending a few hours with my deck, the only tiniest negative i would mention, is they are a bit slick/slippery. i can't riffle shuffle them, but i really wouldn't want to anyway. i am not a riffler...i do the "hand over hand" or mixing on the table method. That always works just fine for me, and is easier on a deck. i just thought i should mention it for you riffle shufflers out there [you know who you are :p] Even if i were a dedicated riffler, i still wouldn't pass up this fantastic deck for anything!

ETA #2: After spending a couple of days with my deck, they no longer feel as slippery. They LOVE to be held and used...They are deep, my pretties, very deep...

I have my shipping notice so expect the Dark Goddess Tarot to arrive sometime next week. Lots of interest being generated here. :)

I am waiting for a copy as well. It should be here next week. Elllen is a modern day shaman, a kind and wise woman.

Anybody else receive their deck besides me? :)

I received mine today as well! :)

It is visually stunning and very well done.

I have not had a chance to read with it yet- so will pop back after I use it to give more input.

---> Comment on riffle shuffling noted- will let you know how that goes. :D
