This beautiful and popular Tarot deck was published in 1988 and consists of 78 cards. It was first published by FX Schmid, a bavarian company. Unfortunately this company was sold in the 1990s and Lösche's agent, Walter Holl, had to find a new publisher - AGM AGMüller in Switzerland.
When AGM AGMüller took over the publishing of the deck Mr Holl encourages Lösche to write his book, which was published by Urania. Until now it is only translated into Spanish, but you could visit the website of the publishers, AGM AGMüller, and ask if there are any plans to translate it into English.
For more information about the Spanish edition have a look further down the page by clicking the link.
There are several familiar faces in the deck as some of the figures are based on Hollywood movie stars. To view more card graphics visit: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cosmic/index.html
There are two books by other people about the deck:
The Cosmic Tarot by Jean Huets and
The Cosmic Tarot: Signposts Along The Path by Laura Clarson. It is this book that identifies the characters in the cards.
Walter Holl said:
Clarson has also written
Tarot Unveiled : The Method to Its Magic to go with the
Hanson Roberts Tarot Deck.
