I used to be Norbert's agent between 1982/83 - 2012 and caused the commission of F.X.Schmid for the Cosmic Tarot back in 1987. It took Norbert seven months to create the deck and the package. Later packages were made by AGM using his artwork. For the first edition he wrote names of the cards by hand. We met 1976 and became friends. Norbert died in May 2022. His health had not been good for several months, but his death was unexpected. I started his website a year ago. His legacy has empowered me to continue to represent his rights. - I found out that their is a kind of fellowship of the Cosmic Tarot (Norbert liked that very much) especially in the US but also in other non-german-speaking countries. (The German version never sold particularly well - so AGM stopped producing it quite a while ago). Norbert wrote his own book for the Cosmic Tarot but it was only translated into Spanish and this version is not available anymore, too. The German manuscript is also part of his heritage. So there is a possibility of doing an English translation if there would be enough interest. There is a lot of work to organize the artistic heritage, which means that a translation would take a while. I am writing these ideas here, also hoping to get feedback and inspiration. Of course, I am also happy to answer other questions about the Cosmic Tarot or Norbert. - So far - Walter
Oh, Walter, I'm so sorry for this enormous loss! I am so glad that Norbert's legacy is in your hands. And thank you for your contribution to one of my oldest and favorite decks! I just found a small fanpage on facebook and asked to join. A translation of his book would be wonderful! The website shows how much work is waiting for us, and it gives me hope that maybe an oracle deck might be a possibility? Oh, please? (Also, thanks for not giving up on UA-cam's horrible platform!)
@@TheZenWitch Thanks for you reply. Did you join the Cosmic Tarot Fanpage? There I will post things that I find in the huge amount of art that he left. I already discovered some black and white material that he created before F.X.Schmid commissioned the Cosmic Tarot. Everything - even the booklet - was handmade. - At the fanpage I will post some translated pages of his book in order to see, how people respond. There is also material for an oracle deck that has his tibetan buddhism background as source. - Can you share the Cosmic Tarot fanpage here? Thanks - Walter
I am blown away at the idea of a Tibetan Buddhist based deck by Norbert!!!! A large part of my spiritual practice is Tibetan Buddhist.I saw the stunning image you sent to the page. I can't wait to see more!
I have included the link in the video description and pinned this thread. I'm thinking I should post a follow-up video so more people find out about it and you.
Hey! Thanks form sharing this video. I have the book and you might like to know that Norberth Lösche says that 4 of wands and 6 of swords are compatible match (if we talk about love or relationship) one could be the half of the other. So yes they mean to be together 😊
That's awesome! I had to pull them out and have a look. It's too bad they're both facing the same way--they could work very much like a Kipper deck if they weren't. Thank you for the comment! (I apologize it's taken so long to respond. UA-cam just now decided to show me the comment.)
I knew this deck thanks to one of my first tarot teachers. She is from Caracas, Venezuela, and have a tarot school there. Her name is Marinela Ramirez, and has a UA-cam channel as well ==> ua-cam.com/channels/ysz6xJjwaXS_7xmkMsDU-A.htmlvideos She has online curses of tarot to the ones that lives far away. She is wonderful. The Cosmic Tarot is one of her topics on the tarot teachings, because she considers this one a not only a classic one, but a very rich deck on symbolism. I bought it last year. I use it with my querents particularly when the questions are about personal romantic matters.
UA-cam decided to show me some really old comments for the first time today, and this is one of them! It is a very good relationship deck. How awesome that your teacher has a channel--I sure wish I spoke Spanish!
This book is arriving tomorrow, and I really want the book but the only copies I'm seeing on ebay are listed for hundreds (!) of dollars! I'll have to keep searching it seems. Thanks for the deck tour.
I'm confused--which do you have, the deck or the book (you mention book twice). I'm seeing the deck for around $20 on Abebooks, Thriftbooks, Etsy, Magick.com, and Ebay. The book is $11 on Amazon. Are you outside of the US?
@@TheZenWitch Uh-oh, meant DECK is arriving tomorrow and now I am seeing the book at the price point you've referenced. Not physically outside the US, but seems like my brain sure was they day I typed that comment! Appreciate your response :)
@@walterholl UGH!!! I have to say that UA-cam has been completely miserable where comments are concerned. I have also seen comments appear in my notifications that I cannot access, even when I go to the video it appears on. I will check filters again to see if it fell through a crack.
I just looked at you channel and the two video's of Norbert's art. It is absolutely stunning, and I really wish there were another deck of these images!
I have to tell you that I love your unboxings. The Cosmic Tarot is a favourite of mine. I am a new 🐣 on the Tarot block. I have just posted an activity using this deck on my site at Tarotmidwife.wordpress.com and I will add a link to your video which so effectively celebrates this deck. Happy to leave this kind of work to you and to let folks know where they can find you. Warmly Heather

I just got the deck and the guidebook by Jean Huets, and this video was very helpful! Love your channel, tyfs✨
How do you like the guidebook? It's on my wish list.

@@8polyglot LOL--no troubles!
❤🔥
I always thought the Queen of Wands looked like Elizabeth Taylor.....
I think you may be right! That didn't hit me, probably because of the dark eyes, but now that I'm looking at some photos... Thanks!
I'm trying to leave a comment - somehow it does not work...I wanted to write something about the Cosmic Tarot since I used to be Norbert's agent.
Well, this one /\ worked! Can you try again? You must have some fascinating information!
@@TheZenWitch I posted something and it is gone again...I'll check in later and see, if this line is still there.

Thanks, Heather! Took me a minute to find your site at thetarotmidwife.wordpress.com. It's nice to meet you!
There is a separate book. It should explain all the symbolism.
I just found out about that book recently! It's on my wish list.
:)
