However, it has the same format, cardstock and print quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason we have them is that our printers always have to over-run when printing - the number of over-runs varies a lot and is unpredictable. We have decided to make these available as they make good working decks rather than collectibles. We have tried to price them at a good discount but without devaluing the numbered LE decks for those who already have them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that having an item in your cart does not reserve it, as other people may be trying to purchase at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e__________________________________________________________\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the water-coloured version of The Mythical Creatures Tarot which was published in 2020 and has been out of print for many years.

It was a real partnership, with each enhancing the skills of the other. Karen Mahony designed the concept and structure of the deck. The water-colouring was done by Irish artist Geraldine Woessner, working in close co-operation with Karen and Alex.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor clarity, please note that the original drawings have been water-coloured, and then we have printed from these originals - i.e. we have not hand painted every deck!
