Tarot Decks

So another LotR deck is up now--I remember watching this artist paint these paintings some time ago. Looks like they did an MPC order. https://www.etsy.com/listing/994160809/lord-of-the-rings-tarot-deck No box but it's otherwise quite cute. Tempting.

I am surprised no one is talking about this one so far. It is yet another independent RWS reproduction (one of the several that have sprouted lately --is there something in the water?), and it is sold here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07639LBZF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For that price, I decided to give it a go, and it arrived today. It is apparently made or distributed by a company called Siren Imports, LLC, whose website (http://www.sirenimports.com/) is "under construction." They are (supposedly) based in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, though they could just as easily be a foreign business with an American address; not very uncommon at …

Right now, a very interesting hashtag is making the rounds on TaroTube: #editorspickdecks. I have watched some of the videos with this hashtag, not all of them, and I think we can extend the idea to the written word and give the word to those of us who don't have a YouTube platform. You can, of course, pick and choose what kind of deck you recommend - you don't have to answer all 15 questions. But this might be an interesting starting point for people looking for deck recommendations. If enough people participate and give their answers, I'll turn it into a list with links, if that's okay. Why should YouTube have all the fun? The prompts …

Does anyone have a Hanson Roberts deck from the 80's? I'm having trouble with the stiffness of the new deck and was wondering if I should purchase a 1985 deck I found on Ebay. Is it easier to bend?

Does anyone know if they still print this deck? I was under the impression it was OOP. I found it the other day in a shop so just curious. Of course you can get a new one on Amazon at a hefty price but mine was 20 something bucks.

Mystical Tarot is listed some places as by Luigi Costa, others as Giuliano Costa. Everything else looks identical. The Luigi ones for an English market, but I thought they were all multi lingual by that company. I just ordered the less expensive one, but is there any difference? Thanks!

...in a tin, no less. 1889 and 1926 (I like the wrapping paper enough that I cut it carefully and will continue to wrap the cards in it.) 8) The 1889. Made to be used! Good quality, but not some uber-expensive thing you don't want to handle too much. The 1926. No TrapperKeeper glitter! :love: The backs. Light and dark marbling, like endpapers in old books. Available at http://thecartomancer.bigcartel.com/, your choice of one or both decks, linen or smooth stock.

So I always said I wasn't one for multiple-artist decks, but I have to confess I'm very tempted this time around. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kayti/78-tarot-mythical-tarot-of-the-legendary-le-box-se Probably because the mythology theme holds so much more interest for me than those of the previous 78 Tarot projects, and the sample card art is much more appealing to me... What do you guys think?

Hi everyone I am new here I have been reading a while but when it comes to readings for myself I’m not seeing the reading clearly as if I am being biased to myself I guess - I have been trying to concieve a second child for over 2 years with no success and I just started asking the cards the question again if I will ever get pregnant agian / have another baby… I keep getting the 8 of pentacles every single time … to me it just means still need to work on it and honestly I’ve been working on it so I guess I’d like to see anyone else’s interpretations on fertility and the lovely 8 that’s slapping me in my readings Please and thanks 🙏

It's true! There's an edition of Shadowscapes out that is slightly bigger! The catch, though, is that it's not in English. But, it does exist - the Czech edition of Shadowscapes is bigger & gilded in gold! It's so lovely. The image in the top right shows how the card, with the borders fits right into the space the image gets on the Czech version. So, it's basically as if it was printed the same size, but borderless as for as the size of the image. Except it keeps the borders and gets loooooovely gold edges! The card stock is a bit thicker as well. I got mine on eBay, so I don't know if it's even easily available these days, but if you love Sha…

Which deck you thought you wouldn't like but then you may saw a flip thought or even got it and you ended up liking? For me it was Steampunk Art Nouveau i thought i wouldn't like it at first sight but then i stumbled on a full flip through in which i got to see the deck and i ended up really liking it by surprise i got wowed instead 😅

Oh darn, oh darn! Found a box in the barn stuff dry, full of tinder was there, many a winter among it, oh Schreck an older Tarot deck! A strange one for sure with writing galore. Turn cards this way or that but no name to be had! I stare at the lot no clue, what I got... No booklet to go with a title to show I don't know, I don't know but I know where to go In TTM I will yelp: “ @gregory can you help?” Signed: The Kawpakwakog Fool

Gabi Angus-West has one coming out, hopefully this year. https://www.instagram.com/tarotavatara/ Normally I would be dead set against a white lady on the other side of the world doing a Frida deck. It would smack of appropriation and privilege. But this - THIS! Gabi has transcended all of that. I see nothing but a deep soul connection, two people on the same rare, heavy frequency. It's said that at her cremation, Frida sat bolt upright and grinned, hair on fire like a halo, before the doors slammed shut. Leave it to Frida to do THAT. These images manage to capture the pain and audacity. I patiently - but eagerly - await this deck

I have affection and appreciation for P.C. "pixie" Smith; the lovely picture of her included in the Centennial deck box is framed in my reading room. With that said, however, I never have up to this point been fond of the RWS deck art. Tried to use it many times, always ephemeral attempts due to disinterest. The Thoth was my first deck, an immediate attraction that remains to this day. Yet I've always been a bit fascinated by the incredible contribution Smith made toward the evolution and understanding of the tarot system. I've been listening to 78 Degrees of Wisdom on the way to work, and have been pretty captivated by the background. …

Saw this deck on Kickstarter this morning. Don't know that I'll pick it up, but it looks fun. Good for people who like the meanings on the cards. Is it wrong that I thought they'd also make cute coasters? :D

When I was younger and began my tarot studies, someone gifted me a set called Easy Tarot that included the Gilded Tarot deck. I was immediately drawn to it back then, but I stepped away for a very long time and now that I am returning, I would like to use the Gilded as my main deck because its still calling to me after all of these years. I did some searching and found out that there is a more recent Gilded Tarot called the Gilded Tarot Royale. I was wondering if anyone could offer insight or comparisons of the two. I know I want one of the two decks, but I can't seem to make the decision. Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Has anyone worked with this deck? How did you find it, and what are your experiences with it? Does its forecasted images really confine your interpretations as some people say, or does it read beautifully for you? I have determined that 2018 would be an RWS year for me, so aside from focusing on the system, I'm planning to study decks that offer different perspectives on it, ones which are creative and inspired. I already bought this one with the kit so that I can immerse myself in it more. I'm so excited for it. :D

I personally think making/using/supporting AI art, at least as it exists right now, is unethical, but I don't want to potentially start drama by debating that. This is not that discussion! Instead, I'm curious what opinion people here have on whether AI art is useful for divination. I'm probably not the only person who's seen AI art tarot decks popping up on Kickstarter, but that's what got me wondering. Can art created by an algorithm have the same - metaphysical? I'm not sure what the right term is here - value as art created by a human artist? Can AI art be used for divination, or is it lacking something that human-created art has that is nece…

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/alchemist-marks/ I know only 180 copies were printed, so this is a rare deck, but does anyone know how sought after this deck is today? I had never heard of it before today...

I don't think I've seen anyone post this one so thought I'd share it...I don't have any more information, just came across it by chance: https://www.amazon.com/AlcheMystic-Woodcut-Tarot-Secret-Wisdom/dp/0764354671
