gregory replied to Nemia's topic in Tarot DecksI DO so agree with you. Also with whoever already said (I'm lazy) decks that pack in too many things from other traditions. There's enough in tarot itself. A deck that prides itself on being "packed with elemental, Hebraic, astrological, Christian and alchemical symbols" - well, I'll collect it, but I won't be using it ! -
WizardintheWoods posted a topic in LenormandHello All, I am doing a rare post for me, a general question on the Lenormand System. I will explain a bit further. My go to system is Lenormand. I am fairly well versed on this subject but will always consider myself a student - Lenormand always teaches me something. An example of this was a daily I performed during last week. #7 Snake, #11 Rod/Whip, and #10 Scythe. Not pretty but it is a daily so I wasn’t much worried. #7 confused me as it was a stay-at-home day for me just doing chores and my other hobby. That is when I learned my other hobby was being represented by #7. Long story short, after fighting and reworking and finally ripping the work back to where it could start fresh. Yes, my other passion hobby is knitting. The reading made perfect sense. I enjoy challenging myself to always learn more about the Lenormand System and daily draws are a means for me to do that. Between having to “dial back” the meanings and then answer what is a type of general question to me, it often provides me with some learning. So here is my question; what puzzles you the most with this system ? Let me say timing is tough for many so let’s avoid that answer. I am not asking this to respond and answer your question - in fact I won’t be. I am asking so that I and others can see that there are challenges for all of us and get an idea of what they are. I am also hoping this will highlight areas that I have not given thought to and do need to learn more of. Perhaps the same will happen for you. To give you an example here is my answer “ I sometimes struggle to decide if a card that can represent a person is in fact a person or not.” If at all possible and you have more than one card, technique or spread that puzzles you, try not to duplicate what someone’s already said. I have great hopes that this will prove helpful to more than just myself. Thank you in advance to All who participate in my learning process !

The sacred Indian Tarot
The sacred Indian tarot is pretty much a RWS clone, but it has it's own approach towards a few cards. Rohit Arya is the person who conceptualized the theme of this deck which deals with Indian mythology and culture. The four suits are Disks for Pentacles, Lotuses for Cups, Staves for Wands and Arrows for swords. Each suit deals with a epic and or life story of a hero of that story. For example, the disks suit deals with the life story of Gowthama Buddha... his journey from being Siddhartha to becoming Buddha... The suit of Wands deals with the epic Ramayana and it's major topics. The back of the card is Shri Yantra, one of the mystic symbols of Hindu religion.... it is highly revered and worshiped for its potency.The illustration of this deck was done by Jane Adams... It seems this deck took whole 10 years to come together and to be put on the market.
The art work on the deck is amazing. This deck comes in a sturdy box which is covered with all the art work on the cards. A 350 page book which explains the card and it's meaning in detail. The book also has a few elaborate spreads. I did not like the tone of the author in the starting few pages, in a few instances... after i got past it, I found some really good information on how to use this deck.
This deck comes with four extra cards, the images of which I have uploaded. The world and the death have 2 cards A and B, and there are two blessing cards, one is "Blessings of Ganesha" the other is "blessings of Babaji". I have added the picture of how these cards look as well.
If you are interested, you can order this deck from: https://www.amazon.in/Sacred-India-Tarot-Jane-Adams/dp/8188479780/ref=sr_1_2?crid=ZL3YDY78PB1J&keywords=the+sacred+indian+tarot&qid=1569877067&sprefix=the+sacred+%2Caps%2C285&sr=8-2
this deck is only available through Amazon India. I ordered it from there.
