New Decks

One of the best things about owning a tarot shop is getting new decks. Today I got three: the Angel Tarot and the Women’s Tarot – both from AGMuller – and the Vision Tarot, by Tim Thompson and published by Carta Mundi. On the other hand, one of the most frustrating things about owning a tarot shop is getting new decks and not being able to rip the cellophane off and take a look at the cards. The most I get to see are the tiny pictures on the side of the boxes….for the time being, anyway.

It doesn’t help that AGMuller have suddenly become ridiculously coy. The description on the back of the box of the Angel Tarot is exactly the same as that on the Women’s Tarot. And neither of them give you any clue about what the decks are like. It may be that the cellophane will come off sooner than I think…
