Dragging this to something actually relevant....

I'm really not into the Tarot, though I do know something, having read what
many folks I respect consider the last word on Tarot, the Case book from,
what, 1911?

Anyway, there are a number of decks I think work, other than
the "traditional" ones (and yes, we know the artist of some). Let's see,
there's the one my old friend Mary Hanson-Roberts did (and I know she
worked on those for *years* - as in, she'd been working on them for eight
years in the mid-seventies, and they weren't published until '85. I,
personally, rather like the *unbowdlerized* Yaeger deck; the friend that
showed me hers has the only one I've ever seen (bowdlerized, as in it looks
like someone's 11-yr-old used a crayon to draw boxer shorts on the
figures).

Others' preferences?
