@Aria Absolutely paranoid about water damage right now

And YAY!! I’m so glad you like it.

Honestly, I appreciate this. This time two years ago I had a book that was accompanying a very expensive deck I ordered from Ireland, that had been OOP for almost 15 years, get destroyed by the fact that the Philadelphia postal service was completely overwhelmed. They had so much mail backed up that they were putting it in giant outdoor containers that were not waterproof.

Fortunately the deck was fine, but there was absolutely no salvaging the book because it had been left sitting there in wet-to-the-point-of-crumbling cardboard for almost two months.

AAAAH mine arrived yesterday! Though I did not go to the mailbox until today - it’s been a couple of horrible RL weeks.

ANYHOW, omg. They are so gorgeous. And there was a gift! After recent life things, this was like - such a lovely surprise that was a bright spot in my day The bag is perfection and

The awesome things is that I showed them to my son, who is well-versed in Tarot and he oooo’d and aaaaah’d over them. He is pretty hard to impress (though has always loved @crawfish’s art) so this was like double awesome.

Kudos! Truly, the set is gorgeous, and I was so excited to see them today.

OH! And the backs of the cards? I love them. That dark blue just

I was actually hoping there was would be a little list with the cards that said which cat was inspired by which card. Because I can only pick some of the characters cards are based on.

I have to ask though. What is the ‘TOP MEN’ banner in reference to?

Indiana Jones. Also @hellfrog

I tried to be obscure about who is who but I’m sure if you poke around you might find names.

I enjoy the cat on the bag because they a loaf. That’s a quality loaf.

Also, Mihaly is the King of Swords and I couldn’t be more pleased with that. Thats my favorite tarot cars in general so I was doubly pleased.

Mine arrived today (shakefist at Evri) and just…wow. So amazing. And the original art for Emperor is just fantastic, there is such depth in the image, it really does look like it is 3D if your eye catches it from an angle. Going to frame it up to go with Preston on the wall.

Amazing work as always @crawfish

I feel like we need a list for everything and explanations. Release the truth about cats.
