Cagliostro Tarot - anyone want it?

Nov 27, 2005 18:33

I am holding here a Cagliostro Tarot deck. Major Arcana based on Egyptian imagery. Minor Arcana resembles old playing cards. It's fascinating, there are astrological designations and planetary designations on many of the cards, as well as numbers and unfamiliar symbols.

If anyone wants it, or knows someone who does, please let me know.

I have been running across this deck in my parents' basement at odd intervals for years. No one seems to know exactly where it came from. Oddly enough, though I can remember tossing jumbled cards out of my way down there, they are all here now, and all in perfect condition, aside from needing to air out a bit from the basement-ness. The box is a bit roughed up, and the instruction booklet has rusty staples, though the pages are still in great shape.

Although I found this deck in my parents' basement, and no family members know where it came from or care about it at all, and I could easily claim the deck as mine or sell it, I feel like I have no ownership on this deck, and it needs to get somewhere else (no selling involved).

Here are some websites about the deck, for anyone curious:
