Every now and then I get on a kick of scrolling through eBay looking for old tarot decks. This is how I recently acquired a first printing of the Aquarian Tarot, which came out in 1970. Join me for a chatty video walking through the deck and speculating on what it was like to be a tarot reader at that time.
I bought this deck on a whim and didn’t expect to like it very much. But as I explored the cards whilst filming, you’ll see me slowly but surely become actually pretty smitten! Sure, it’s mostly a RWS clone. But with its art deco influence and retro color palate and a few interesting diversions from RWS imagery, the Aquarian Tarot certainly has a charm.I did have to brave a battle with tech issues + a cat intrusion while filming, but somehow I made it through and I hope it might be of some interest to you, lolllll.
