As a journalist in the Sixties I made thousands of photographs and wrote hundreds of articles about the Counterculture. I found in looking through my photographs a 40-year-old Tarot that has become the centerpiece of a 130,000 word history of the Sixties. My website counterculturecreations.com features an edited version of this history along with all its Tarot cards that serve nicely as "silos of experience" for the telling of a history. The site is easily navigated and accessible and my About page explains much of the historicist rationale for using a symbolic system to create a historical narrative. Recently, an exhibit of my cards opened at an art gallery in Berkeley Ca. Please contact me if you'd like more information. William Haigwood I have used the Tarot to write a history.

If you are interested in full 78-card decks, these might be better options for you to consider. However, if you are looking for a masterpiece of art, then these 22-card hand stenciled cards really just can't be beat. Best wishes, robert Hi Reislet,

Elle a été lancé par Paul Marteau qui, génie ou arnaqueur, a lancé cette "marque de fabrique" en réalisant un Marseille, à partir d'un Besançon (lequart), en se référant à Conver, tout un programme qui a berné nombre de tarologues. Si on se réfère à la tradition, c'est Le tarot des imagiers jouons mais précisons tarot des imagiers, on peut préférer le tarot des bâtisseurs (Vieville).

I believe I saw them in the early sixties, before I read Moakley's 1966 study. Have tried to contact the ML by e-mail, but received no reply on this. Many thanks!
