Tarot Decks

Did anyone else back this Kickstarter? The creator has gone missing apparently- there have no updates since June, when they said they were having problems and they would refund your pledge. I asked for a refund and …. crickets.

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…

Over the last few years, I have downsized my deck collection a lot. At some point I had up to 140 decks - now I have about 30. There are a few of them I never really use, and they are in my list to-be-relinquished list, but... I have this conflict. I actually like these decks' art and/or ideas, but form some reason I just don't find them useable. To give an example, I have the "The Triple Godess Tarot" by Isha Lerner and Mara Friedman. I really like the art and the idea, and I love the Chakra Cards that come with it. But I never really manage to use it successfully. For one thing, although it comes with a complete book, the writing about the cards is rather va…

This is an own-voices project. It’s a unique deck based on southeast Asian myths and stories. They failed in their previous attempt to fund it on Kickstarter but they have launched a new campaign Go check it out!

I absolutely love the Spiral tarot but am wondering if anyone knows if Kay Steventon is still in the community and if the deck can make a comeback without borders and full size? I would buy it in a minute. I keep it in my travel altar kit trimmed. Please, I'm calling out to US Games to re-release as a full size borderless deck. What do you think about this absolutely gorgeous deck?

This is a question that has been on my mind for some time. When you're reading with "happy" decks (bright colours, fun/cute imagery) do you feel like it skews your reading? Does it make things feel too optimistic or sort of pad out your answers? I've read with gloomier, "dark" decks before and I know it's possible to get pleasant and positive readings from them, but how easy would you say the opposite is? I'm curious.

I've wanted some nice animal decks for ages but after taking a long break from checking forums or looking at new deck releases, I feel like I'm very out of the loop! I could use some suggestions and advice. I've been looking at the Tarot of Pagan Cats again, because I've wanted it for years. In my thread about it, I ended up realising that I strongly prefer the older, bordered version and it might be a while until I can find it. I was thinking about it and if I were to pay a larger sum for an used copy of the old version, I might as well look at other decks I might like better (just in case). I asked in the enabling/de-enabling threads about the An…

So it turns out I wasn't the only one wanting a heavier deck! They've now got a 350gsm deck available, looks like the same set of cards as the first edition 320gsm. I wonder if I should sell my first ed. 'light' deck to someone who'd prefer it, then get myself the heavier one... Classic 320gsm deck, should be available again soon: https://quiabsurdum.com/product/terra-volatile-tarot/ Heavier 350gsm deck, available now: https://quiabsurdum.com/product/the-heavier-terra-volatile/

Anyone can tell me what deck this is?

We were discussing this deck in another thread, so I thought I'd open up a thread to discuss the imagery and how they relate to either the meanings Kim Krans gives them or other meanings you like to give it! (This is where we originally discussed it) @rosieblack1 🙂

I need help with finding tarot decks with orange backsides. I have looked, but there are so many decks so I thought that you will know some by heart. One other tarot lover/medium said that I should read with a deck with orange backside this year, but I never found one in time so I ended up with one with lilac backside instead. So I hope you can help me find one before this years end and that I can use it next year instead. Thank you!💖

So I discovered this deck in a post on the Facebook Tarot Marketplace group. It was already sold, but it sent me into a rabbit hole that yielded very few results. A post on the Tarot collectors Forum: http://www.tarotcollectors.com/view_topic.php?id=3347&forum_id=4 A brief mention in these hallowed forums: And a few YouTube walkthroughs. And, well, this is the deck's very own website: http://www.serpentandthepeacock.com/ That's it. Basically, almost no one seems to have heard of this deck. Ever. I did order it, together with the book, and they arrived yesterday, wonderfully packed, and with a bo…

So it looks like, despite this being (as far as I know) out of print for some time, Lo Scarabeo has acquired some copies: loscarabeo.com/en/products/tarocco-delle-vetrate?_pos=1&_sid=04afec19e&_ss=r (They indicate these are Dal Negro copies, not a reprint, in the description.) For any of you still trying to find this one--mine is lacking a box so I might snag this as a backup copy.

🐷 Can you think of any decks that feature pigs? Non-tarot welcome too, but I am most curious about tarot decks that contain depictions of pigs. Thank you!!

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to pick your collective brains about decks that may be out there that would suit what I need. I've been studying the RWS deck system using Holistic Tarot, with the Llewellyn Classic as my deck. Although I know it's not a RWS clone, it's closer to a traditional RWS deck than I've ever owned. I just really struggle to read a lot of the cards intuitively, which isn't helped by my abysmal rote learning abilities. I'm wondering if the deck is to blame. I'm wondering if I should pick up a proper RWS/RWS clone (I've heard good things about the Centennial Waite) and hope that the closer match of symbolism will work bette…

Hi! I stumbled upon pictures of this beautiful deck online while looking for watercolor tarot decks, but I can't find what the name of it is. Does anyone recognize it? Thank you so much!! 🙂

Claire E. Mack of the Illuminated Earth Oracle and Faceted Garden Oracle is making a tarot! https://www.instagram.com/p/CR5CbhCn4RC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link I LOVE her collage art and am so excited.

https://www.somniatarot.com/products/tarotdeck Who's in on this? Not yet released, but damn .... very tempted. I have a fascination with water and the ocean, as well as nightmares. Quite an intense combination for me. Spiritual, compelling. The use of costume, sculpture and photography sems unique here.

I've been wanting to pull the trigger on these two decks for so long. I love the amount of symbolism in them and the mythology behind the Apokalypsis. But I wonder how people go with doing a whole reading with them? I can see how I could use them for clarifiers, but realistically speaking, how do you guys go with using them for a whole large spread like the Celtic Cross? For reference, I love Ciro Marchetti decks, so I'm not shy about colour and detail.

Hello, does anyone have the Page of Swords from the Lunatic Tarot? I just got back into tarot. I recently purchased a new, unopened deck off eBay and that card was missing. Deck: Lunatic Tarot by Evan Yi Feng Year: 2016

hi, i've recently been bought the Thelema tarot deck. It said it came with a book for the cards but it doesn't 😞 does anyone know where i can get a book linked to the deck or is it own interpretation? i love the images on the cards and they are so different to my very old Russle Grant set (received in 1995). i'm in the uk if that helps. thanks Amy

I got the Fool's Dog tarot sampler app, and tried one of its readings that drew on a bunch of different decks. It was .... weird. I do sometimes read with multiple decks, but with thought-out positions and complementary themes... this was just random and hard to read. Maybe a deliberately put-together one would be better, but I suspect that there'd still be some disconnect. Previously I'd been thinking of putting together a frankendeck because I so often find that I dislike particular cards. So... maybe not. I don't want to diss Fool's Dog, though - the sampler is a nice way to test the idea of a digital deck. I bought their digital Gaian based on…

Who here also has a tarot deck with added herbology on the cards?

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)…

MJ Cullinane of Grimalkin and Crow Tarot fame has a new deck underway that looks quite lovely, available for pre-order, expected some time in September: https://crowtarotshop.com/products/pre-order-support-the-creation-of-forhaxa
