Way back in the late 1970s, shortly after I bought my first tarot deck, I bought an oracle deck that was supposed to have been based on a Chinese system. It had a series of cards with short messages on them, and a smaller set of cards that were 'masks' - they had a window cut out of the card, and had a subject printed at the top, and a bit of some appropriate Chinese painting: Romance, Money, Career...that sort of thing. You shuffled the cards, selected a certain number based on Chinese astrology, winnowed the selected cards down in some manner I can't recall, put the appropriate mask over the card, and read the message.
That deck (along with most of my tarot collection) became an unfortunate casualty of a particularly vitriolic divorce.
(vengeful ex-wife + box of matches = bad combo)
Is anyone familiar with this deck? I obviously haven't used it in years, so I can't remember exactly what it was called. I've tried various web searches, but have come up empty.
