I like so much these comparisons videos of Marseille decks. Thank you ❤️

I have nothing against people who like or use Besançon decks, but I do not personally like the substitutions (which were arguably made by and for Protestants). So to see Swiss decks that are NOT Besançon is a pleasure, and interestingly this has been on my mind recently. Thanks again for the wonderful content you provide.

OH thank you!!! I'm the person who requested this! 😊 my favorite deck is Claude Burdel, because of the ornate pip designs (and I prefer reading with the Popess & the Pope, just because I'm more familiar with them). You're making me want to revisit my Gassmann, but I've never seen the Heri or the Rochias before! The brown cloak on Heri's Hermit is really interesting. Thank you for taking my request!

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

I was glad to do it and I appreciate your idea, thank you! The Burdel and Gassmann pips are beauties!

I noticed upon closer look the Heri deck has eyes pointing to one side or another where in most TdM the eyes of the people in those cards tend to be forward. So it seems that the Heri deck presents interesting potential for readings, like with Justice looking left and Judgement looking right. Makes the cards that might fall next to them open to new contextual meaning!

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

Yes, absolutely! Read the deck, their differences can make all the difference with direction and action, etc. This is definitely a way we interpret the cards. Thank you for watching and sharing your observations. :)

Hello! Thank you for your video. I don't understand why this deck is a Swiss Tarot but not a TDM II. I really thank that it is so close to TdM II type🤔

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

Yes, of course. It follows TdM, it's Swiss because it was published in Switzerland by a Swiss publisher. And visually, there are subtle cultural differences in the style of embellishments. But you are right, it's most certainly inspired by TdM. Thank you for watching! ~ Marilyn

[@mironalexandra4602]

the Rochias is really beautiful!

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

Yes it is and this publication is an affordable way to own a facsimile. I'm on a tight budget since moving and my extravagant deck purchasing has had to cool down lol. I'm grateful that Deviant Moon Inc has these clear facsimile options at reasonable cost. As always, thank you for being here. I appreciate your presence. ~ Marilyn

Is the figure in the World card holding a drop spindle? I know red thread/yarn was a popular motif for representing lifeblood. I don't think I've ever noticed that before!

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

That's a great observation. I wonder... It could be. There are so many details and references that we may never know. That's why looking at so many decks helps; we never know what revelations we might have.
