    Description

    The Fool is numbered both 0 and 22 and is labeled "Innocents."  THE FOOL CARD IS MISSING FROM THIS DECK.
    The deck was published in 1984 in Bearsville, N.Y., by Hecuba's Daughters, Inc.
    Some cards have two versions (VI Lovers, XIV Art, XV Birth/The Horned One, 2 of Cups, 3 of Wands. The deck contains 83 cards and the court cards are Child, Amazon, Companion and Queen. Some photography was used. Some cards include astrological symbols. In the spirit of the deck, "Mars" was renamed "Kali."
    The original sheet is MISSING.  There is no box, book or bag, and to the best of my knowledge, there was only a one-page sheet.
    The deck included 3 blank cards which leads me to suspect that the intention may have been to offer users a chance at adding a card.
    Various versions seem to have been published, with varying numbers of cards.
    Two of the cards have a small stain (see photo 5).  I have seen this deck described as "The Women's Amazon Deck" also, as the court cards are Child, Companion, Queen, Amazon.
    From a private collection being liquidated.  Shipping free. USA only.
