Here's a look at the cards in the new edition of the Greenwood Tarot by Mark Ryan and Chesca Potter. The first edition had long been out of print and was exceedingly rare. I'd long wished to have a copy.
Then, about a year ago, Mark Ryan created a Kickstarter to produce a new edition. My copy arrived a couple of days ago and I took this photo of them as I wash-shuffled them before use. I'm really delighted to finally have a set.
The reproduction quality isn't quite as good as the first edition. I suspect that's because of issues relating to the original artwork, which I won't go into here because I don't have 100 per cent of the facts. However, I am just pleased to have the chance to do readings with a copy I own. I'll be posting a divination for the world with them soon.
One interesting thing about the new edition is that it contains two Lovers cards, one of which is gender neutral. You can see them photographed below.

This looks absolutely beautiful — I’ve wanted a Greenwood Tarot for years. The atmosphere and artwork are incredible even in the reprint. Really pleased for you that you finally managed to get a copy. Would you mind sharing where you found the Kickstarter/reprint version please? I’d love to try and get one myself.
