    I was wondering if any are familiar with this tarot deck? and what are your opinions? I found this recently while searching the web

    academic.evergreen.edu/m/mabusj/treeoflife/otzchim.htm

    if you click on the sephiroth of Daath the tree switches from opaque to skeletal, I'm not sure whether this is supposed to represent the Qliphoth. However in the opaque version each path when clicked reveals the corresponding "Thoth Deck" rendition, while on the skeletal tree, there is a corresponding Bio-mechanical rendition. On first contact I was/am very aesthetically attracted to this bio-mechanical flavor. All enlightened commentary would be greatly appreciated, i understand it may just be inspired/inspiring artwork(then again what is Tarot?).

      Whether or not one likes the art is, of course, entirely a matter of personal taste.

      My one question is: In what sense is this Tarot?

        I am not aware of any technical terminology rendered "Tarot" other than 22 trumps corresponding/associated with the 22 paths on the TOL, and the minor arcana of 56 cards for the most part, although I am aware of one tarot deck with 88 trumps corresponding to the four worlds; this is my first exposure to these particular cards as in the above link. I would be anxious to learn what specific element qualifies something as Tarot? Crowley's Thoth Deck diverged greatly from all precedent.
