From Glasgow, Scotland- a review of Tarot of the Pomegranate
From Adam Mclean, independent Tarot publisher in Glasgow, from his Alchemy website blog:

5th June 2007 Creating a tarot deck is quite a task. It is difficult enough to find the time to create the 22 majors but a full 78 card deck can be an enormous investment of ones life energies. Add to that the intention to create this as a series of oil paintings and we are talking years of concerted work. An-Magrith Erlandsen has found a new solution to this problem. She is selling her Tarot of the Pomegranates as an incomplete deck and will send on the remaining cards in batches as she finds the time and inspiration to complete the paintings. Her paintings are wonderfully detailed in saturated colours. She is very creative and comes up with some new ideas for the tarot images. Her Queen of Cups is a powerful engaging image with the head emerging from the waters of a still lake. The Moon card has a astounding picture of a female figure emerging from the dark pool and protecting another figure. The Magician is another amazing image beautifully painted, while her death card depicts a skeleton form, standing between two shrouded human figures, its bones forming a celtic knotwork, a truly original conception. An-Magrith's paintings are very beautiful. I only wish I could afford to buy one. However, I do have the next best thing - a set of her tarot cards. I have put up her website on my list of other tarot publishers in case you might like to buy a copy from her. It is a signed edition of only 200 and I have number 8.
