Hey. I like the idea of cleansing a deck. I just did that with my new animal deck earlier tonight. I told it NO. and if it tries to alter the way I come out (especially when drawing cards etc) then I will consider it a personal attack and will hrm, file it to existence as such for potential subversive and subtle back influence designed to end its tampering with how I come out. I guess my thoughts are if my personal freedom is circumvented I won't worry about its so much when it comes to ending what it was trying to do. Then I said maybe it should deal with it itself instead because I probably won't be as caring as it would be. Good idea to cleanse it though. I kept getting repeat cards for no apparent reason. There was very little usage of the deck so my guess is subphysical stickiness or something because I kept getting certain cards no matter where I cut the deck at. I was like, "there's 100 cards in this deck. This is just silly." They didn't look good to my personal intuition either and I didn't use them for the reading. It kept happening so. Guess addressing it was probably a good idea. :)

I have never noticed that those cheap decks are pirated copies.


Some places offer versions of the Rider Waite deck but if you go and look, the Rider Waite copyright expired some time ago. They also seem to be for the most part, smaller in size then the original Rider Waite deck(s).


Some of those places also will print whatever you provide to them. If you create a deck, this could be a relatively easy way to get your deck printed.

RWS art is out of copyright in some countries, not all. USG own the copyright in the U.S and U.K.
The websites that will print cards on the artwork you send them (ideal for self publishing) could also be acting illegally if they reproduced another artists work without consent.
Tarot creators in certain FB groups with are very vocal about their work being stolen and do take legal action, so please be careful when the temptation of a cheap deck beckons.

If you're asking me, I bought Alchemy 1977 England. It's a Marseilles style deck.

I am aware of what you wrote.

From what I understand, USG made sutle changes to the Rider Waite Deck and then copyrighted the deck.

One person I know of who has made several decks and sells them internationally has been using some of my Trade Names (not Trade Marks) without my permission.

I looked in to it and was amazed at how cleverly she had been running her business. At one time, she had a lawyer as a boyfriend. He helped her sit things up. According to State law, in order to be incorporated she had to give a physical business address. P.O. boxes, etc. are not allowed. The reason for this is that if a business has to be served, they get served at their physical business. What she did was take out a mailbox at a UPS store and claimed the physical address of her business was Suite [P.O. Box number].

I brought it to the attention of the proper authorities at the State....... and they did absolutely nothing. This was over 5 years ago and she still is using my Trade Names without my permission. Oh well, .........
