@@KatinkaMaters Yes I will. Yes logically speaking they must be here since they weren’t thrown away and no one would want to steal them. So it is a matter of time. Will come back as soon as I can find them. It was a big job going through our boxes for several days looking for it. I will continue going through my storage spaces but at least this way I have the freedom to prioritize other things and don’t have to pressure to have to prioritize the tarot. I found boxes of tarot that I thought I was going to keep but decided I won’t. So I will start with those first. Thank you once again for your patience!

@@elementsoftarot Thank you! I am slowly selling all my collection. Thanks for watching!

@@NobodyHeremay I ask if the mini Flourescent Illuminated is for sale? That one is calling to me! So so beautiful!

@@elementsoftarotHello. Please see my October update pinned above. I am having trouble locating this whole box so I will have to pause everything until I can find them!

@@razor198042 Fair. I am not a believer. Just someone who is curious. Keep an eye out for sales of all my esoterica including this book on eBay. I’ll drop the name of the eBay shop as soon as I can get the time to organise one.

Thank you for watching!

@@thetarotauthority I am writing this from 7 years in the future, and this video is so old. Having left the tarot world a few years ago, I not up to date with the tarot collecting world so I can’t help so sorry. This print run and edition certainly. If they decided to do another batch I wouldn’t know. I am selling all of my collection so keep an eye out for an announcement. For now my collection sale page is on Instagram @MyCollectionForSale but I may have to move as I find that platform a pain to navigate due to its aggressive algorithms.

@@NobodyHere may I ask why your selling your collection?

@@thetarotauthority Because I have no use for them anymore and no longer derive pleasure them them 🤓 I have returned to my normal life after a long period of grieving and transition 😊

@@rae_rachel_rae2244 They are beautiful and special because of how she colours them. Keep an eye out for an announcement of the selling of all my tarot collection. In the past I do it through INSTAGRAM @MyCollectionForSale but the algorithms there have become unbearable for me. So I am planning on moving.

@@NobodyHere i have several of her decks and even without the glitter they are truly amazing and have a special place in my collection…but the glitter is stunningly beautiful and top of my bucket list…thank you for the reply i will keep an eye out 😊✨

@@dezarey Thank you for watching. Please keep an eye out for my tarot collection liquidation sales 😁

The author is Christina Dorsini. She is the new owner of Il Meneghello and from what I understand is the daughter of the late Mastero’s partner who also has passed away. She was trained as an art historian apparently. But I have found her takes on art history to be slightly unconventional. I can’t speak to her qualifications or credibility. I have also left the tarot world a few years ago and I am not up to date with whether there has been any revisions to this text. The tarot world is rive with unfounded theories since there really isn’t any established peer reviewed procedures and no serious academia would want to touch the topic of tarot. So a lot of texts should be considered personal musings and not canon. Please do let me know if you find anything. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@NobodyHere Yeah, it's actually pretty frustrating when more actual scholarship seems to have gone into the creation of some of these decks and drawings than modern "scholars" are putting into the "explanation" of them. And more often than not there are these convoluted around the world explanations instead of what is just obviously right in the image. I can see why you got out of it!

@@patreekotime4578 Sir Michael Dummet written some books about tarot that isnworth reading. There is also a blogspot page called Pre-Gebelin Tarot History you should check out. As a rule, check out historians, philosophers, or cultural scientists such as anthropologists or sociologists who wrote about tarot. Such as “The Cultural History of Tarot” by Farley that’s available for free as a PDF and the author herself recommended. And avoid authors with more metaphysical underpinnings. All the best.

@@NobodyHere The problem seems to be on both sides of the divide as far as I can tell. The esoterists made up a bunch of bunkiss about Egyptian origins at a time when it was convenient to pass off any and all esoteria as Egyptian because heiroglyphs hadn't been translated yet. And on the other side of the isle we have this bizarre overcorrection saying that there was nothing remotely spiritually symbolic in the tarot before them. Which is strange because here we have a series of images appearing in the late medieval era covered in pretty obviously spiritually significant symbols. Had they been anything else other than playing cards the same historians would be having a feild day discussing the significance of these images and what they reflect about the ways these cultures viewed themselves and the ideas present in the cards. Or we see examples of narratives invented to support a thesis that are based on a few cards and don't seem to be fully supported by the bulk of the images themselves. Especially attempts to identify the artists who created certain decks are frought with problems resulting from the fact that tarot historians never seem to be artists or art historians themselves. A common trope I've seen is the "this deck contains a hat (or other common item) like the one in this painting, therefore this must be the same artist". A hat style may link a painting and a deck of cards to the same region and rough time period... or it may not at all. One would have to do a deep and thorough study of late medieval fashion (or in the cases of Sola Busca and E-Series: late-medieval armory) to actually make those connections... but even then... artists have created stylistic anachronisms in their work to make things appear older for centuries, so all you may discover is the period and place the artist wanted us to THINK the designs are from! And that is made more confusing by the general trend from both sides to try to date everything as early as possible for "tarot street cred" that sometimes feels just as ridiculous as the Egyptian sorcery stories. The deeper I dig, the more frustrated I am with much of the scholarship, especially on artwork with uncertain dating and arthorship. Even decks like Sola Busca that seem to have been nailed down to a specific date... can we be certain that the date on the cards refers to when they were published and isn't just in rememberance of an important historic date? The vast majority of 9/11 "memorabilia" merchandise was created after 2001, and yet that year is clearly visible and there are symbols on it that clearly relate to the events of that year. I just have serious misgivings about the methodology and assumptions and starting theses of a great deal of the research I'm reading.

I’ve moved on from tarot collecting and studies few years ago. If you care to investigate I would it if you could share you conclusion here for those who are watching and reading. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I've thought about your reply for weeks.

To answer your question: (1) I will be selling them. (2) My life. 🌷

Appreciate the reminder. Thank you.

My pleasure 🌷

No idea sorry. It had been awhile since my interest in tarot waned. Best is to Google and check out Amazon market place, their other affiliated sites such as Abe Books, and eBay. Good luck!

I believe Meneghello only reprint them. So sorry but I have been out of the tarot game for a long time now. So I appreciate your kind words 😁

@@NobodyHere I was more interested in this deck for the liberal arts depictions. I get the impression your library consists of much more than just tarot lol

This video was posted so long ago I can’t remember which part this refers to. How are you liking yours? I love the craftsmanship of this deck but I am about ready to let go of my esoterica collectable because that’s all they are to me right now. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@NobodyHere aaah keep your collection! I'm a collector too, it gives me a lot of pleasure.

I don’t speak French pardon moi. Google translate please 🙏

Hello! I’ve been trying to move my viewers to another channel but I am fighting the algorithm here LOL so I might just change the content of this one! To answer your question: I go by aesthetic only. I love antiques and crafts and I am fascinated by religions so this is a perfect combo. The other aspects of it is up to us to imbued the object with. That is too personal for me to have others’ attached to the items although I don’t mind it 😇
