5.0 out of 5 stars Superb translation!, September 6, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xultun (Mayan) Tarot Deck (Hardcover)
After over 30 years I have come to finally observe this splendid Mayan Tarot deck. Originally published in 1976, this stunning interpretation of traditional Tarot translates wonderfully to the often overlooked and misunderstood "lost civilization" of Central America. More than a kitschy tribute, this deck bridges the wonders of both Tarot and the wonderful artwork of the Maya.

I am no expert by any means of the Maya, but I know a labor of love when I see it. The major trumps are all numbered with the Mayan numerological system. Oddly enough, these glyphs resemble trigrams from the I-Ching. China is an ocean away from the Yucatan, yet one cannot deny the similarities in both systems. I would have to say it is an odd coincidence. The creation myths of the Maya are stranger yet! Other star sytems and people from the sea bring to mind legends of Atlantis and UFOs. Mere speculation, but grist for the mill in certain esoteric circles. After all, this fully developed civilization had access to the Atlantic ocean!

By all means, if you can get your hand on a copy of this masterpiece do so. Just because it is out of print, doesnt make it impossible to find. A tarot archeologist like myself finds it worth the effort to track down this amazing addition to your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true achievement, February 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Xultun (Mayan) Tarot Deck (Hardcover)
This is one of the most magnificent decks I have ever encountered in terms of depth and sheer beauty -- find a way to get it. Although it is apparently out of print,(...). It is one of the most unusual -- and beautiful -- interpretations of contemporary tarot.
