I don't know if anybody else has heard about this or not, i am assuming i am the last to know since i am in a small town that may in fact be a black hole where time doesn't pass. On my ramblings around the greatest ever box where the cool people in the loop live (a.k.a my computer) I found the most awesome deck of Buffy tarot cards, due out this August. This is the description i found....
"Lost hundreds of years ago, the Slayer's tarot is an important artifact from Slayer history that came into existence after a group of women shared a vision of a rogue Slayer who would love a vampire and be aided in her fight against evil by a group of mystical allies. That heretical prophecy led to suppression of the deck by the Watcher's Council. This magical deck was conceived and written by Rachel Pollack, author of 12 books on the tarot (including the renowned 78 Degrees of Wisdom), who teams with longtime Buffy artist Paul Lee to create this one-of-a-kind card set. The set features a 78-card deck, instruction pamphlet, and 88-page softcover book in a reclosable box with a magnetic closure. Find out what the cards hold for you by acquiring this today!
So i was so excited i searched around some more looking for more pics of the awesome deck. And BANG! I was staked in the heart when i saw this......
"THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Official word from Dark Horse:
"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Dark Horse will not be producing the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Tarot Deck. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but no existing orders will be filled. We appreciate your support of this program, and again apologize to those who placed advance orders and to fans alike."
UNFORTUNATELY THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE."
Why did this get cancelled? It seems that people have started to assume that Buffy is losing its momentum with the fan base and they wouldn't want new stuff. I completely beg to differ! I thought this was so genius how they seemed to be working the tarot deck into the actual canon of Buffy. My mind was even kicking around the thought that it could've been "found" in the Slayer Bag that Robin Woods gave to Buffy- but that's just my opinion. Anyway, I'm not sure if any of you are even remotely interested in tarot as am i , but i know you are all interested in Buffy- so i thought i would relate my poor sad story for today!
P.S. I wish to add at this point that i was so frusterated before i found this forum, because every time i would find one about Buffy, it was as desolate as Sunnydale High after the Mayor went boom. So i am very happy to have found people still obsessed with Buffy and not just giving up on it because the show ended!! Thanks you guys for being here for me to rant to!!!
