Tarot Decks

I got Poppy Palin's new deck, The Everyday Enchantment Tarot, for my birthday. This deck is a masterpiece, not only for Poppy but for the Tarot world as a whole. The cards are exquisite, even on the backs. The card stock is beautifully limber but sturdy. If I had a problem with anything, it would be that the deck is very large but the deck is so phenomenal that I'm just working with it anyway. There's the old "throw away the book" nonsense but you definitely do NOT want to do anything with the book except read it cover-to-cover. Read it more than once in fact. I'll be excited to use this deck to read for clients. I think the readings will be amazing. I've been wor…

I find that I'm not connecting with Tarot like I used to, for a range of reasons that I won't clutter the post with, other than to say that in a sense I don't think the Tarot - or at least my decks, and I have many - have much to say about my life at the moment. (I mostly read just for myself). Have you encountered a deck that gave you a really fresh perspective on Tarot, or opened up your mind to new ideas or new questions, that got you out of a malaise?

I wonder if this is an impossible-to-answer question. Which decks are NOT based on RWS, Thoth, Astrology, Kabbalah, nor any religion, yet have more than just pip cards for the minors?

Hello I would like to introduce to You a new Tarot deck which I am a co-creator of. The deck is called "The Dark Mansion Tarot" and it's kept in Victorian-Burton style. It will be released in about 2-3 months, but already You can follow the progress and watch new published card graphics. (just find tarotecastudio on facebook) I invite You to visit and add your opinion :)

Recently I've been working with the Tarot of Vampyres by Ian Daniels, and the guidebook is a doozy. It's just really really good. And I love that when I bought this deck it was accompanied by a guidebook that really adds to the deck, and to my tarot studies. I know that US Games sometimes sold guidebooks for decks separately, but most of them are out of print and hard to come by. As it is, I live in India, and haven't been able to buy any indie or secondhand decks since Covid hit. So I'm asking for recommendations of mass-market decks with guidebooks that you thought were especially good, offered something different, or added to the deck, or however you judged t…

I tried to find a thread about this deck but didn't find one! I've wanted this deck for ages and now that my local post office has returned to normal, I'm thinking of getting it. I'm just not really sure which edition to get. I was going to get the regular-size in the new (borderless) version but I'm not a huge fan of the purple graphic at the bottom, it looks kind of intrusive and like maybe it clips the bottom of the image? The only bordered version I can find is in mini format, so I've got some questions about that: how good are the images? Are details visible? Does the size affect them much (if you can compare between the regular deck and the mini version)…

This deck seems truly unique, and I love how diverse it is. Very sensuous. Definitely NSFW.

Mark your calendars if you're after this one.

I have been bingeing on Lon Milo Duquette's videos on the Thoth deck (courtesy of our very own EmpyreanKnight X/ ), and reading his delicious memoir My Life with the Spirits. The man just oozes charisma and is a born raconteur. I confess he fascinates me. I do have a few books of his that I haven't gotten around to read, among them the companion book for the Tarot of Ceremonial Magick. And I'm starting to feel intrigued by this deck, which, alas, seems hopelessly OOP. (Except for a pirate, made in Ukraine edition that sells on eBay for about US $40. Oddly enough for a pirate edition, they openly admit it's not the original.) Does anyone here have it? (I'm betti…

For anyone who missed out on this, Baba Studio have said on their Facebook page that they are looking at a reprint. [emoji3] https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156224412877672&id=53690237671

I'm not sure this is the correct place to be asking, but if Im in the wrong spot, please move me :o Does anyone here have the Animal Totem Tarot? Do you like it? I'm still looking for a nature/animal type of deck...I like colorful pics...I love mountains, water, trees and animals etc ;) http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/animal-totem-tarot/

Little Fang[/member] started our awesome TT&M Deck Library tonight. http://library.thetarotforum.com/ Once we get a handle on it, members can submit images too but there will be guides so it's not open for everyone yet. Little Fang will discuss it further. This thread is to keep track of the decks that are up now so we don't have repeats.

I've been given a £20 Amazon voucher and am thinking of buying myself a new deck. I haven't bought a mass-market deck for over a year and I'm sure I've missed some great ones! I'm looking for some inspiration so...what were your favourite purchases of 2017?

Hi, I am making a study of tarot cards preparatory to becoming a reader. I'm interested in the Wirth pack as a bridge between the Marseilles and Waites pack but am rather confused by the number of different Wirth packs there arte! I want the earliest pack that is most true to Wirth's original conception - any help identifying the best pack for me would be most welcome and gratefully received.

It's strange, but nobody has created a thread yet for one of the most highly anticipated decks this year - the Game of Thrones Tarot. I feel like even non-readers might take a gander at this one if only to fuel their obsession for the TV or book series. I remember feeling a bit down when its November 2017 release was postponed. Now it's going to be out next month, and there's no indication that it will be delayed again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! If there's any deck that might break my moratorium, it's going to be this one.

I would really love to hear from you all about the Mary-El. Everything you can tell me about this Tarot because there are cards I absolutely love, others that rattle me and some that I can't even explain how they make me feel. (Love the card size, and wouldn't want to miss out on this one in case it goes OOP). Thank you. <3

I have a friend who wants to get into tarot and wants an Angel deck. I do not have any Angel Tarot decks, but want to point her in the right direction of a good Angel Tarot deck for beginners. If there is one with a good companion book all the better. I would appreciate any help you guys could provide me on this.

Can someone recommend a tarot deck with lots of nature to it?

I've been waiting for the Ethereal Visions Tarot for quite some time. Lo Scarabeo has (with a few exceptions) mastered the art of making metallic decks. Does anyone know if this is the very first deck US Games created that has gold foil on the very images themselves? Looking at the pics, it looks like foil and not just gold ink. If only for this, Imma get this baby. :)) It is now available for pre-order, and is scheduled for an April 2018 release.

Hi all - I m in love with this Tarot deck that I saw in one of pick a card reading on YouTube. But don't know the name and I so badly want it. I have taken a pic of my TV Screen with the cards at display but don't know how to post it here. Can anyone please please help?

Just came across this fascinating deck in progress: http://www.bloodmoontarot.com/

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well. Not sure if I am in the minority, but I actually like tarot cards that are used for both reading and gaming. There is symbolism there too (e.g. even the Kings could be beaten by Death or by the Judgement, and the Fool does not follow the conventional rules). I don't do gaming often though, and I usually only do readings for myself and my wife. Anyway, I got interested in the "Piedmontese" decks, and I was wondering if anyone has some of these that they are especially happy with? I especially like the look of this one, but I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone know where to look for this? I know that there are othe…

....because holy crap this has out-True Blacked the True Black tarot for me in terms of a gorgeous glossy dark fantasy tarot deck? I'm agape. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/allanspiers/the-sabbath-tarot

I know that I've often waxed poetic (and furiously hyperbolic) about decks that have captured my interest, but I was not quite prepared when I chanced upon the Renaissance Tarot by Brian Williams. The very first time I saw its warm, sensuous, classical images I felt my heart drop and yes, it was love at first sight. It was so coolly gorgeous, so beautiful and flawless that my mouth hung fairly agape as I perused each and every card. I have fallen utterly, hopelessly under its spell, and yet I somehow relish its chains. And is what they said about the gold true? This really is love, isn't it?

This isn't about necessarily dark or spooky decks (although feel free to add those), but decks with cards that just creep you out. I know I will be adding to this list quickly, but first one that really sprang to mind GOLDEN TAROT OF THE RENAISSANCE. FOUND another one! BARBARA WALKER TAROT...where do I begin? I see why people like it, but I just feel like the whole deck has such a weird vibe, even some of the more benign cards. It's like the Twilight Zone, some things seeeeem normal....but aren't. And the things that seem off, are realllly off. Don't even remember exactly which card, but the one with the creepy guy in jockey shorts with kids dancing around…
