A photograph of the front side of two Tarot cards from the Mage the Ascension Tarot Deck. The card have white borders and rest upon a dark background. On the left is "Knight of Dynamism" described thusly: Descending from the cloud-filled sky, the Dragon of Dynamism visits destruction upon the pitiful truths of prideful creation, bathing the mundane world in the flames of its purifying spirit. The mighty serpent does not always temper its impulsive nature with the wisdom of forethought and planning. Instead, it rushes headlong into conflict, heedless of the consequences of its actions. On the right is "XIII Death" described thusly: The game of life and Death is played out before the curtain of mystery, which conceals the knowledge of both past and future. Between the players, the rose of desire arises. Renewal takes many forms both the siren call of immortal undead and the transforming power of Awakening emerge from the spirit's unquenchable restless sea.

   I have a very "shot in the dark" ask about my favorite Tarot card deck.

   Have you heard of the Mage The Ascension Tarot?
   I bought a deck in 1995 when it came out. I still have it and it is my favorite deck. It's been my deck of choice since I bought it. I even preferred it over my Rider-Waite-Smith deck and, when I went through my hyper-Christian blow-back phase, it's the one deck I couldn't bring myself to toss out.

   Bad news: I damaged two of the cards while doing a reading. I dropped them and tried to catch them with my legs which creased them down the middle. They are now both unusable in readings because they stand out.

   I am aware that you can order reprints from places like DriveThruRPG but those are slightly different cards on different cardstock. The original designs were lost in a fire, I think, so these are more like scanned reprints.

   Does anyone, anywhere have the original deck or just the two cards I damaged and would be willing to sell them to me?

   I only included a photo of the back of one of the cards since the crease is the same on both of them.

   I know it's a bit silly to be so enamored of a novelty deck like this, but I played a lot of World of Darkness mostly Vampire and Mage with a bit of Werewolf. I had the book for Changeling and the supplement for Mummy, but we didn't play them much. A friend of mine had Wraith but we never got into that at all.
   I still have all my books downstairs actually, mostly 1st editions save for Vampire which is 2nd edition now.
