Oswald Wirth Tarot Deck Cards – 1 May 1991

My belove deck. The colours are so bright. I know that Wirth set the number of majors with Arabic symbols left from the title of each card. This edition sets the numbers at the top of each card with Latin symbols so it follows the TbM format.

Thank you..

This is a very nice set of tarot cards. unfortunately the printers have mixed up two similar looking Hebrew letters attributing them to the wrong cards.So the Pape or the Pope has the letter Cheth when it should be He' that is attributed to it, and Justice has He' when it should be attributed to Cheth. Wirth follows the attributions given by Eliphas Levi.

On the left is a card from this deck. As you can see, the black lines on this deck are so thinly printed that the face of the young man pretty much disappears altogether. Not good. Even the thinner lines of the lettering are invisible. On the right is the Golden Edition with intact artwork... just a shame it’s such a massive deck it’s unusable and is printed on a vulgar, tasteless bright gold glitter background. Can someone just sell me a proper Oswald Wirth deck please? This is an historically important deck worthy of a decent printing. Use the money you’ll save printing just the original 22 majors as the author intended to spend more money on black ink.
