The Tarot of Life (new unpublished deck)

Hi, Uma It might be a good idea to remove the email address from your post above - a mod will find it and remove it if you don't. Go to your User CP and add it as your email address, allowing people to contact you directly from AT to your email.

Email addies are bad in posts because of web-bots or some insidious thing

Ok I did and thanks. Didn't know this was against rules. Good idea.

Hi "Intyale",

Thanks for allowing me to send the samples. I'm looking forward to all responses to it - please feel free to be completely honest without any reservations in your comments and I encourage you to reply via the thread (if you wish) so others are inspired to do the same. I want to work at it until people completely love it so I need feedback that can help me make it really very attractive to tarot users even if it's a "pioneering" kind of thing.

Here are a few samples in low resolution.

Here are some more. These are minor arcana cards. They correspond to traditional tarot ones as follows:

T = Transformational Tools of Power = fire (clubs/wands...)
I = Intellectual Tools of Power = air (swords...)
M = Material Tools of Power = earth (pentacles...)
E = Emotional Tools of Power = water (cups/hearts...)

That's all I've had time to scan so far.

Here are some samples from the manuscript that would go with the cards, explains a few basic things.

This is basically what is on the PPS (slide show) but as a rougher version.

I'd have some trouble accepting this as tarot. More an oracle...?

I like the ideas behind your deck, and I think your images and beautiful and very unique.

It IS a little different for a tarot...but I can certainly understand and appreciate the concepts behind the decisions you made in renaming.

The Osho Zen is a deck that doesn't always fit the mold of a traditional tarot, and yet it is very popular.I think yours has the potential to be too.

I think that if I were to use this deck it would be more as an oracle, however.

But then sometimes I like oracles better than the structured order of the tarot, because they have their own system.
