Reviews
In its first, 1991 printing, the Magow deck was printed by Wydawnichwo Glodnych Duchow -- which roughly translates to "Hungry Ghost Publishing House." The cards were cut to larger-than-standard size; the '91 edition measures 3" x 5-1/8".
In 1994, the Spanish publishing firm Fournier republished the Magow in a smaller size for the Polish market. The Fournier edition measured 2-5/16" x 4-1/4". The cards were otherwise the same as the Hungry Ghost edition, including titles in Polish and English. Because distribution of the deck remained contained within Poland, Spanish titles were not added.
Scarcely seen outside of Poland, the Tarot Magow is an amazing, thought-provoking deck to which tarot enthusiasts have had lamentably little access.
