Two Books for March
I'm creating a category I'm just calling "Books" because I really still love old-fashioned books that a person can hold in one's hands. I haven't bought Tarot books much in a year or more but every so often I find one or two (or more) that really interest me. I found that when I belatedly got all excited about Bennebel's Holistic Tarot, I was a real late-comer so I might find that the ones I just got , everyone else has had since last year, but I'm going to do it anyway. If anyone wants to post on the threads in this category, I'll be happy but if I'm posting about "old news" and it doesn't spark comments or chat about the books, that's okay too.
For this month, I found two books that really intrigued me. They're called:
- The Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide by Tom Benjamin
- Tarot Tableau Revolution by Maria Alviz Hernando
The first one is really wonderful. I feel so much better now that I've started reading it. For a very long time---in fact, since AT shut down, I haven't felt like I was a good fit for another forum but I really miss socializing and being a reader doing my "fortune telling" the way I've always done it.. Living up here in this very small RV park, and since I have considerable health and mobility problems that keep me home and not very active anymore, socializing online is important to me. Even though there were the newer ideas people were insisting had to be done by their preference of what "fortune telling" should and shouldn't be on AT there were plenty of other old style practitioners mixed in so I just didn't really feel out of place and I did my "thing" and didn't really pay that much attention. (I've often thought of myself as being oblivious to the obvious.)
This book is one I really recommend if you haven't read it yet and you like books. Newer style readers of cards and other divination tools might find it interesting and us old style folks can learn and appreciate it a lot, too. But the only little criticism I have about it is his swearing. I don't think it's necessary but I still enjoy and look forward to reading the book.
.I think Daniel may have posted something to me about the second book when I was so excited about Tarot Tableau In Benebell's book. I'm looking forward to seeing what Maria has to offer about this method in her book.
So there are my two books for this month. Does anyone else have them?

Systems and Themes
I thought I’d yammer a bit about my deck categories. I hope it is interesting or fun to somebody. (And it might be my topic for my tarot society presentation in July . . .) I’m at 379 decks in my collection, which includes tarots, oracles, and historical reproduction playing cards, as of this minute, with 7 of those being on preorder. (Can’t resist a Llewellyn coupon . . .) I love organizing things (on paper at least), so I’ve categorized my decks as systems and themes. Systems are tarots and oracles that follow a definite pattern, like minchiates, 72 angels, or 64 I Ching hexagrams. Themes are more about things that aren’t a set system, like cat decks or a certain type of art. My systems and themes are by no means exhaustive, they’re just what I have, like, or collect. Or not collect. I have italicized the systems and themes that are on my do not collect list, even though (or because) I already have a few of them: · RWS and close clones · Anthropomorphic animals (or as I like to call them, cats in coats) · AI decks (I only have one, a Halloween oracle.) · A woman on every card not goddesses (which weeds out the more “airy fairy” oracles out there) Categories in parentheses means the category includes decks already listed in the higher level category, for example, the Two or Three Sets of Majors list includes all the same decks that are in the Tarot Majors list. And for fun, I have included in some of the theme lists decks that contain one or a few cards in that theme, for example, a dream dictionary deck has a Vampire card, so I’ve listed it in the Vampire category. Without further ado (but where would we be without ado?), here are my systems and themes. Systems Bach Flower Remedies Besançon Tarot (Juno and Jupiter) Chinese Calendar Egyptian Tarot Etteilla Systems (tarot and oracle systems) Golden Dawn Tarot Not Thoth Hebrew Alphabet I Ching Lenormand including with extra cards Mantegna Maya Calendar Merged Decks (decks I keep shuffled together) Minchiate Non-Scenic Pips Not Historical Ogham Phrenology RWS and Close Clones Runes Shem HaMephorash (72 angels and demons) Spanish Tarot, Eudes Picard Suits -----French-suited including tarot and playing cards -----German-suited including tarot -----Italian-suited not tarot -----Unique-suited not tarot Tarocchino Tarot Majors (majors-only decks) -----(Two or Three Sets of Majors) Tarot Non-Standard Number of Cards, not minchiate, not tarocchino Thoth and Thoth-Inspired 22 Non-Tarot Majors with Suits Themes Abstract Affirmations Alchemy Angels and Demons Animals -----Animal Tarot one species per card -----Cats -----Mythical Animals -----(Anthropomorphic animals) -----(Dragons) -----(Satyrs, fauns, Pan) -----(Some mythical animals) -----(Unicorns) AI Artists and Art Styles Astrology -----Moon -----Sign Combinations Crystals Dream Dictionary Erotic Fairies Food Gods and Goddesses Halloween -----(Vampires) Historical Reproductions, original published before 1909 Humorous Landscapes Love and Romance Not Erotic Media Native American Photographic Places Plants Prehistoric Realistic Contemporary Setting -----Animals in Realistic Contemporary Setting Robots Science Club Seasons Shapes -----Heart -----Landscape -----Oval -----Round -----Square Sibillas and Tea Leaves Spreads Text Wicca Woman on Every Card Not Goddesses0- Rachelcat posted a topic in Tarot Decks -

3Bring back the Playful Heart Tarot
OMG I had forgotten about the Happy Lion. I must go and find it. I HOPE one of my children didn't take it with them when they moved out ! But unless she can find a way to use a mailhub - not buying from the US - the postage is just too much,- gregory replied to Nemia's topic in Tarot Decks
