• Also known as Tarot 2000

I had no idea of the name of this deck as the lady selling them on eBay did't either! I didn't care. I had to find the name and ended up labouriously clicking on all the listed decks on the Aeclectic Tarot site. After about an hour of searching I found it - THE PAGAN TAROT 2000. Dreamy, trance inducing Trumps with a minor arcana that instead of being bunged up with the artist's self discovery, simply suggests the element represented and by use of a cue word, allows the reader to 'open up' to circulating impressions.

This deck would maybe suit those already interested in Tarot, however I feel that with study, anyone could use these cards to great benefit. The colouring is almost subliminal in effect and the just to enlighten you further, the accompanying book has 'odes' or 'prose' laced with the age old symbolism hidden by many other christian based decks for so long. A full 78 card deck which, incidently, has 'spookily' revealed coincidences (if they can be called that!) every time I have used them, has some of the major titles re-named eg:

1) The Juggler - Magician
2) Juno - High Priestess
5) Jupiter - Heirophant
11) Fortitude - Strength
20) The Angel - Judgement

The minor suits are labelled Cups, Swords, Coins and Batons. (Water, Fire, Earth and Air respectively).

Tarot cards are a very personal thing and, I know, it can take years to find the right deck. PAGAN TAROT 2000 is mine. I will always be a 'Tarot Anorak' because of my love of the art and history involved, but am so glad to have finally found a 'working deck'. I can only suggest to you that you try it for yourself.
