Hello @MouthOfTheLion welcome to the TT&M Family

Thank everyone so much for welcoming me back. I'm happy to be back. I'm using a very old Chromebook and I've typed in so many long posts only to do something wrong ( no clue what) and the whole big post disappears. I can't figure out where "undo" is to bring the whole thing back and I just give up sometimes.

Thank you, Daniel! I'm so glad to see you again!🥰

You know, just a few days ago, I ran across my copy of this book and I was very happy because I've moved around so much in recent years and have lost so many things along the way that I forgot I even had it.

Welcome to the community Mara / @MouthOfTheLion Glad you found us here and after 5 posts, you can access the exchange areas 😄 . We do monthly exchanges, where you are paired with random other forum members and might be ideal for you. They begin at the start of every month (when you feel up to reading with others)

For me, getting to know a new deck is about becoming familiar with the artwork and the structure. I like Tarot Kaizen by Alison Cross as a jumping off point for ideas about how I can examine the deck, but mainly I'm looking at portions of the deck in isolation (laying out all the Majors to take them in as a unit, then each suit of the Minors and the court cards) and comparison (for an RWS clone, I lay out the septenaries to compare the cards in each column or I might look at all of the twos in the deck, that sort of thing). If it's a heavily themed deck, like the Mystical Cats Tarot, I give each card a keyword that captures the nuances and deviations. To see how the deck words in readings, I prefer to start with "fake" readings, say for a fictional character or my cat. 😉

Hello, I go by Mara and I'm from the US. I've had a long and difficult love affair with tarot, beginning around 1996. I love to study and discuss the cards but I've only done readings for myself. I'm hoping that, if I prove to be a valuable member of the community here, y'all can help me expand into reading the cards for other people. 🙂 I look forward to chatting with you!

I deliberated over backing this deck for some time... I have Emma Zhang's first creation, the Dream Vision Tarot, which I love, and like you I'm always on the lookout for a deck inspired by Ancient Egypt. However, I realised that I didn't love the minors enough to make the investment so ultimately decided to let it go. They just didn't seem to have the same depth as the Dream Vision Tarot does. I'm going to back this deck as well, I think it's gorgeous. I also love that the creator made a greyhound themed deck; I wouldn't use it myself but greyhounds (and sighthounds in general) do have a special place in my heart and I always appreciate it when people raise awareness of them!

Thank you so much !🧙🏻‍♀️ Happy to be here 🙂

I thought maybe you were from California (an inside joke for those of us who have lived there). All joking aside, welcome!

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! Yes a land with lots of goodies, and do not forget ‘chocolat’ 😉 but unfortunately I’m allergic to it 🫣

The land of waffles, pommes frites, Tintin, blacksmiths and poppies! Hooray! Welcome!

Hello @Soph welcome to the TT&M Family

Welcome to the community @Soph Glad you found us here 😀

Thank you, Rose 🙌🏻 Nice to meet you!

Welcome!

I’m Sophie from Belgium. Nice to meet you all!

Just backed the Sacred Spring Tarot. 'Sacred Spring' is a translation of the name of the publication printed by the Vienna Secession movement artists that inspired this deck. They included Klimt and Moser, who were in turn influenced by Art Nouveau. I have a weak spot not only for this art style but for minors that lie somewhere in the middle between pips and fully illustrated. The artist fulfilled several past Kickstarters, including The Cards Drawn Tarot, which was poker sized. Sacred Spring Tarot is tarot sized. (The artist is in the US, but for customs purposes, I'm not sure whether the decks will be shipped from there or directly from a printer's.)

I have 2 diverse decks to add. The Wild Eden and Lubanko Tarot.

The devil card? Very cool deck!! I received my Supernova Tarot and the Golden Art Nouveau today! A few days ago I also received my La Muci Fantome Tarot. I am done buying decks until next month, when a deck I'm waiting for will be released.

Of course you can still join! I haven't been online for the last few days unfortunately... Welcome to the group @Marina 🙂 The DOTW Group is a fun and enlightening way to share how your decks can work for others, to highlight new or unique reading techniques and spreads, and perhaps to introduce new decks for other members.

I missed out on a cool ancient egypt inspired deck 😞 The Dream of Nile tarot. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamvisiontarot/dream-of-nile-tarot-golden-horus-edition I’ve been casually on the lookout for an ancient egyptian mythology inspired deck since two or three years into starting tarot but never found quite the right deck. I saw this one on a youtube video (the previous edition) and they mentioned the new one’s kickstarter. But the video was 2 months old. This is what I get for falling out of the loop with tarot! Hopefully she makes another edition. It might be a while though since she has an Alice in Wonderland tarot kickstarter launching soon. Well…I’m supposed to be studying the thoth anyway right now. I finished the majors in the DuQuette book a few months ago and fell off. Imma get back on that. I signed up for the newsletter anyway. edit: pics
