The Lost Tarot Deck and Guidebook - An Exquisite Medieval Themed 78-Card Tarot by Hans Bauer

Although I was gifted the original Majors only deck, I have been waiting impatiently for the second edition of the full deck to be available here at TarotArts. Was thrilled to get the notification and even more delighted to receive the deck. This is an awesome reader and I don't have single quibble with the way the cards look and handles.

This deck is full of gorgeous imagery. So many friends captured by Mr. Bauer's creative eye to create this truly one of a kind deck. Even myself and my husband made the cut. I'm grateful to the artist for capturing so many images of friends and performers that have been part of so many happy memories that are now ready to come to you and share the beauty and messages contained within this tarot deck. The artistry and impeccable quality are well worth it. You won't be disappointed.

If you're from Texas, you'll recognize some of the folk from local ren faires. Makes me smile. Beautifully done.

I am so disappointed by these cards. The artwork is beautiful and thought provoking which I love in a tarot deck. The guidebook is also lovely, well written and provides great insight into the cards and tarot in general. Here’s the problem; short of being an NBA star or having Marian’s syndrome, I can’t use these cards! I suppose it’s my own fault for not being more diligent in reason the specs, but these cards are huge! I cannot comfortably shuffle them and, even more concerning, I cannot hold them in a way that works with the way I read. Simply put, I doubt I will use these cards much because they are so cumbersome! And for the price (this is the most expensive deck I own) I am devastated by this! Also, of lesser but still valid concern, is the packaging. For $90 I’d expect to get something better than a tuck box and completely separate guide book. I am so sorry these cards are not a better size. I understand the desire to set yourself apart from the thousands of other decks, but this is not the way to do it. The set already stands out for its illustrations and eloquent guide. There was absolutely no need to make the cards gargantuan. I can’t express how sad I am that I won’t be able to comfortably use these cards. Live and learn I guess.
