Snarf. Friend of mine has a set -- they look nice enough. Tarot for musicians.

Mike you can download the software here. You can buy copies(from ebay or qxl) occasionally, but they tend to be a bit on the expensive side.

What's more, having a "real" ie original deck seems quite pointless, unless one has a collector's interest. Create your own instead! Mix up your cards and theirs, even ask your friends to contribute. And remove the card that says "Do something boring".

eight years pass...

we have these in our practice space. mostly we use them to see just how synchronistic the universe really is and marvel about the amusement they bring. i can never just flip one and follow it, cuz they are not very specific. moreso it just gets my brain going in a different direction.

I had a set from 1978, I think, but it was stolen :( Now I have a, hm, 1996 set?
Today: "Humanise something free from error".
