Thoughtful
A friend of mine is gifting me this deck as she did with the 1JJ Swiss. As it's OOP l was a bit reluctant to accept but she has another copy. It will be the purple one with hardback book and cloth. So l have been trying to find out as much as possible, looking at scans and reading a rather long 38 page thread http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=94933&highlight=original+mythicthread! my poor eyes
l found the thread totally engrossing and although it was originally to inform about the upcoming New Mythic, most of the posts were about the very deep love people have for the original, how it was their first deck.
Later in the thread which started in 2008, the New mythic became available and there were discussions about the differences, the majority not very favourable, especially as Tricia the original artist had been rather ripped off by her images being redrawn by another artist.
Having looked around ebay and amazon there are an awful lot of the New Mythic being passed on. Maybe it was not the success the publishers had hoped and who knows we could have a nice reprint of the original and a happy outcome for Tricia.
Having seen the scans and read as much as l could in anticipation of receiving this deck, l'm really looking forward to it and l feel it could be another little treasure like my Roots of Asia. My friend has an uncanny knack when it comes to tarot gifts for me bless her.
So are you still in love with and reading with your original or do you prefer the New Mythic now. Having looked at the scans of the New l much prefer the one winging its way to me any day now.
