Pierre Madenié Tarot de Marseille 1709 from Yves Reynaud & Wilfried Houdouin

[@annebaptistin8382]

Hello Mascha ! Thank you very much for this detailed comparison 🙏💖💖💖

[@musingsbymascha]

My absolute pleasure, Anne! 🥰 Thank you for watching! 🙏💛

Yet another great geeking out with your TdM! Your knowledge is great and always a lesson to be learnt by watching. With regards to your questions: I like all three combinations! A museum copy for the historical library, then the same deck restored showing all the details but then also a fully reconstructed version with clean lines and more colour to bring it into the 21st Century. So maybe Yves and Wilfred should offer all three 😉 with the third fully reconstructed cleaned up version on linen cardstock. Ghosting: I also learnt from Pablo. I do love the ghosting - but only if it was on the original and not to be placed on a fully restored cleaned up version. I have this latest version. By the time I came to Tarot - Yves Madenié was already out of print - So I am extremely grateful that he brought in back into circulation.

Dear Richard, Thank you so very much for your kind comment and for geeking out on Marseille with me! 🙏💖 I have had some asking me why I needed two editions of Madenie, and YOU, my friend get me!!😘I'm with you! YES, we need all 3 made available for us!! Add to that one on plastic cardstock too! LOL! ☺ Much love! 💖

Hi Mascha! Thanks for showing the Madenié TdM, it is by far my favorite TdM of all 💖💖💖!

[@musingsbymascha]

Hi Marina! Thank you for stopping by! 🙏💖 How wonderful the beautiful Madenie is your most favourite TdM!! 💖💖💖

[@annerobinson2288]

I have the first and second edition, but not this latest version. I can't get my first edition out to look at as I'm moving and it is already packed! Maybe later when my life settles down in my new home! The Rochias T de M also has extensive ghost lines as well as reversals of orientation and i love that deck. Such vibrant colors! Thank you for your time and detail of presentation,....as usual! Anne

[@musingsbymascha]

Oh, you are moving, Anne! Anywhere exciting, if you don’t mind me asking? 🥰 I don’t have the Rochias but I must admit I’ve been eyeing it out for its vibrant colours! Thank you for being here, dear Anne! 🙏❤️

@@musingsbymascha I've been living out west in Colorado and New Mexico for 20 years and am now back in a suburb of Cleveland Ohio where I used to live and where I have several good friends. Along 3 day drive across country but I landed safe and somewhat sound. It will take a while to normalize. Back to society, civilisation and culture! Thanks for asking. A.

@@annerobinson2288 Thank you for sharing, dear Anne! It's wonderful you have some good friends in Ohio and I hope you settle back there with ease. 💚

[@oliveslingscards9814]

Thanks for this Mascha! I definitely need to add this deck to my collection.

[@musingsbymascha]

It really is such a beautiful tarot! Thank you for watching! 🙏❤️

[@annerobinson2288]

The 2012 original version had very pronounced ghost lines. I wonder if you have that edition. Sorry if you mentioned it. Thanks for this, Mascha. I'm tempted! Anne

[@musingsbymascha]

Hi Anne, No, I don’t have the first 2012 edition, only the 2016 & now 2023, both of which are beautiful to me . Thank you for watching! 🙏❤️

[@polarisstella]

Thank you Masha! I always wanted to have a Madenie deck ❤

[@musingsbymascha]

Thank you for watching, dear @Stella Polaris ! 😘🙏❤️ And YES! Madenie is a superb choice of TdM! 😊

[@primaverazagamiana4895]

Hi Mascha, Which version of the Yves Reynaud's Madenié deck do you prefer? II or III?

[@musingsbymascha]

Oh, that’s a hard question! Depending on your preference, I’d say. The 2nd edition is more muted and more cleaned out. The 3rd is brighter & has ghost lines. I myself have been reading with the 3rd edition for the last couple of weeks and I love it! Thank you for watching!

[@mironalexandra4602]

Hi Mascha, did you ever do a Pierre Cheminade video (not sure if you have this deck). I find it quite pretty, hugs ♥️

[@musingsbymascha]

Oh, Pierre Cheminade is one of the few tarots from Yves I don’t have..🥰🥰 Are you saying I may need it?🤣 xx ♥️

[@appleoak3589]

Hi Mascha. Thank you for this comparison. I have a few decks from Yves including the first edition of the Madenie, and I was wondering how did you buy the 3rd edition as I can't find add to cart for both the 3rd edition Madenie and 2nd edition Chosson on Yves website ? :)

[@musingsbymascha]

Hi @Apple Oak, Thank you so much for watching. In regards to your question about the 3rd edition of Madenie and the 2nd edition of Chosson, I trust these decks are temporarily not available because Yves is sorting out the issues with the printers he uses due to the cutting imperfections (seams / ridges) that have been detected in both of the tarots.

[@appleoak3589]

@@musingsbymascha oh I see. That explains it. Thank you very much Mascha for that info 😊

[@musingsbymascha]

@@appleoak3589 of course! My pleasure!! 😊💖

[@francesrobinson1335]

Thanks, Mascha! Your enthusiasm is contagious. Right now, I'm enjoying the evolution of this historic tarot style into modern TdM style decks. I always enjoy your take. Have a great day!

[@musingsbymascha]

Thank you for watching & your kind comment, Frances!🙏💖 I’m curious to hear what are some more contemporary TdM decks you’re enjoying at the moment.🥰

[@francesrobinson1335]

@@musingsbymascha Hi, Mascha. I received the Playing Marseille yesterday and I really like it.The diverse skin tones are particularly welcome. I also have the Moonlit Hermit, Le Tarot De L' etoile Cachee, Tarot des Aux Arcs, and the Keymaster Tarot. Le Tarot De L'etoile Cachee is breathtakingly beautiful. A bit pricey, but I had to have it. Then, there is the Diverse TdM, and Le Tarot Archetypal. That last one is interesting, but the typical directionality of the gazes is not at play, which is unfortunate. It's very diverse, as well, so I really wanted it in my collection. Anyway, it's a very exciting time, I think, for TdM. I'm exploring the idea of designing one myself. It's a pretty tall order, but we'll see. Till next time.....♥️

[@musingsbymascha]

@@francesrobinson1335 thank you for sharing your decks! 🙏❤️ ooohhhh… I’ll now need to check out the Moonlit Hermit & Le Tarot de L’etoile!! Playing Marseille is one of my favourite decks, too & the little guidebook that comes with it is also nice. I like the Aux Arcs, the colours are so beautiful in it, I for some reason hardly ever read with it though.. Oh, I really like the Keymaster also!

[@musingsbymascha]

@@francesrobinson1335 designing your own deck sounds so exciting, Frances!! 😍😍😍 Pleeeease keep me posted! 🙏💖

[@francesrobinson1335]

​@@musingsbymascha I forgot the Squidcake Marseilles and the Marshmallow Marseilles!

[@toadstooltarot]

Not a collector? You have more TdM decks than anyone I know. lol.

[@toadstooltarot]

As of today, which deck is your alltime favorite? When I purchased my Marsella Robledo I stopped. It's still perfection for me.

[@musingsbymascha]

LOL, Robin.. yeah I guess I do have a good number of Marseille tarot decks…🥰

[@musingsbymascha]

@@toadstooltarot oh, that’s such a hard question for me to answer, dear Robin!! The best I can do is to give you my 5 most favourite TdM decks I read with… Noblet, Payen, Madenie, Carrajat + Marsella…

[@primaverazagamiana4895]

Reynaud decks are Better than Robledo's

[@musingsbymascha]

@@primaverazagamiana4895 I personally wouldn’t say that though - I adore Pablo Robledo’s work & I love my tarots from Yves Reynaud. They are just different.
