This deck was printed in 1994 as an edition of 250 copies for the Musée Lilim in France. In Kaplan’s Encyclopedia it was called the Cathar Tarot and listed as unpublished . In 2006 Adam McLean obtained the remaining stock from the artist, reboxed the decks and sold them as No.9 in his Artwork Tarot Series.

The images for this Tarot were abstract watercolor paintings by Rosetta Woolf  based on the spiritual and cultural history of the Mediterranean and dedicated to the myth of Lilith and her children, known as the Lilim. The cards are a little longer ( 6.25 by 3.25 inches) than a standard size deck .

US Games / Carta Mundi
Number of Cards:
78
ISBN:
90-75336-09-8

Encyclopedia of Tarot, vol. IV, pp. 507-509  
Notes:
The Santa Fe Tarot uses Native American symbolism derived from Navajo sand paintings. The creators of the deck are sisters. The Major Arcana, while retaining their original names, have also been given names from the Navajo mythos, and the Minor Arcana have been changed into new forms using the four major 'peoples' of the Navajo world-view. The suits are lightning (swords), rainbows (wands), water (cups) and buffalos (disks).

The minors are colored by suit, with the court cards a deep color and the ace through ten a pastel of the same color. Lightening is yellow, Rainbows are a salmon, Water is   turquoise and Buffalo is green.
