Tarot Decks

Looks like quite a lot of work is happening by Avalon Cameron and Ana Tourian on this deck! Just sharing some images here that were posted on Facebook. Avalon said a second round of pre-orders is going to be launched via her Etsy store on Nov 1 Australia time. It's pricey with shipping though [emoji15]I think something like $60 before shipping and $90 after, to the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm addressing my query to anybody here who regularly reads with more than one tarot system. By that I mean the RWS, Thoth, Marseille, etc. What are the strengths of each particular system? How do you choose which one to read with, at any given time? I am only familiar with the RWS system, but always wondered about the others. I'm not sure I want to spend the remaining years of my life (I'm 76 now) learning a new system if it's only going to show me what the RWS system already does. However, if there is a lot to be gained by learning another system, then maybe I should! 🙂

The Tarot of the Cat People by Karen Kuykendall is one of my all-time favourite decks and the only one that has a permanent place on my work desk. I have always been intrigued by the frame story of the Outer Region, but the LWB only has minimal detail on that story. I know there is a companion book. Does anyone have it, who can tell me more about it? Most of the previews online show the pages with card meanings, but the LWB covers those quite well. I’m more interested in the story material. How substantial is it in the book?

Well!! I have been resisting this sort of deck for quite some time... always looking and looking and thinking I don't like it that much... So I finally decided "Just buy one already!". There are 2 versions from TarotCollectibles, and it took me quite some-time to decided which one to get. Black Light or Neon Pam. I happen to already have a UV torch (pets. Good for checking for pee on the ground!) - so I'm all sorted! Huh. Looks like night-time is going to become even more interesting for me... (I've already installed a movement sensitive multi coloured light in the toilet 😂) Daylight: Darkness - …

Inspired by Raggydoll[/member]'s great find with the Roots of Asia ... What's the best deal you've gotten for a deck? I'm not necessarily looking for what was cheapest - I picked up a deck from Spirit Halloween for 3 bucks and it was ... definitely a $3 deck lol. Let's talk about the decks that you got a great deal on, that also gave you great value to your tarot practice! I'm inclined to think that I bought a deck from techno-faeries. I was desperate for a first edition Quantum Tarot deck, but it's out of print and was pretty pricey on ebay. I grabbed a second edition, used from someone, but still wanted that first one! While waiting for the used second editio…

What are your most sought after decks? Is there a thread like that? Even if there is our wish list changes from time to time. I only mean those decks that you are prepared (at least spiritually and you'd even make some sacrifices if it would be necessary to get them) (so I don't mean those decks that you think oh it would be nice to have them (theoretically) but you don't actually try to get them. Mine are: Terracotta tarot Solara Occulto first or second edition The Little Monsters tarot - which I added to my wish list just recently. I never would've imagined that I'd like this deck so much; I've seen it on youtube and I also printed out a few c…

Need is definitely in quotes because I have 367 decks. 😼 Right now one of them is the newish Lo Scarabeo Once Upon a Time Tarot. It's ok. Because I'm an old fogie, I'm not enamored of the fantasy artwork, but I thought I'd give it a try for the theme. Well, it has tales for the majors, not all of which I'm familiar with, and just fantasy creatures for the minors, including courts (dragons, mermaids, fairies, mushroom cap people). On the plus side, the Magician is Puss in Boots. So I need recommendations for a fairytale deck I'd like better. I've had Lisa Hunt's Fairy Tale Tarot and Isha Lerner's Inner Child Cards, both years ago. I seem to not be …

I can't find the full sized deck new for sale, including with Google Shopping. And I can't find the full sized version on the publisher website. I see the Mini for sale everywhere, but not the full sized deck. What am I missing? BTW I did see that it's available as a separate Fool's Dog app. I still want the physical deck.

Aaargh. I was just trying to use a deck I've owned for a while, but never use. I was reminded of why. It's The Light Seer's Tarot. The cards' matte finish and thick card stock makes them cling together. I can't shuffle them. Is there any edition that doesn't have this issue? I have one other deck that I LOVE, but never use for the same reason: Poppy Palin's The Everyday Enchantment Tarot—again with the matte finish. I've even tried magicians' dust on this one, and nope ...not only does the dust get everywhere, but the effects don't last. Have any of you experienced this issue? Or is it only me?

Years ago late one night I was enjoying a drink, smoking, and free-form pulling cards. I accidentally grazed the back of this pack with a lit clove cigarette, permanently burning a blemish on the card. I still love and read with this one. What tarot blunders have damaged your decks unnaturally? Did you keep it your reading rotation? Pictured: Deck of the Bastard from TarotbySeven, LLC. This back is a custom choice and I believe no longer available. This is the standard sized, keyworded first edition. Keywords are both upright and reversed. Share your mishaps -- I cannot be the only one with a few tarot regrets.

I see that the Hexen 5.0 is about to come out and it appears to be right down my alley, but so does the Hexen 2.0, which was reprinted last year. What I want to know is how those who have the 2.0 have found using the deck? It's suggested for group readings, and I think this would be a great way to discuss what's going on in the world and the machinations behind what we see (as opposed to what they're doing that we don't and their motivations - or whose motivations). Any feedback on deck use or anything, really, is welcome. They're quite expensive and I'd like to get both as I'm into political economy and political ecology, but that hasn…

So, The London Tarot Conference is this weekend - 10-11th October, 2025, at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in Kensington. I shall be attending virtually. AND - I have just received this in the post today. I wasn't expecting it to arrive until after the conference. Arcana 78. by Kin Arnold & Chris Butler I LOVE IT It has people I know, have met, have heard speak on stage, or have learned about in the epitomes of history. I am already campaigning to have it produced in waterproof stock. For anyone wishing to purchase, you can get a copy here: http://tarotconference.co.uk/booking/#arcana78

It seems I've devised a plan for 2026. My absolutely top desired deck is The Tarot of Echoes by Ana Tourian . Picture for reference. It is limited to 750, out of print, and was supposed to go to Mass Market, first in 2024, and now by this year. I'm not holding my breath as publishers are a fickle lot and anything can change. It's already October on that note. So I've devised a realistic way to acquire a used copy, which currently run about $350 on eBay when one appears. I am going to continue my goal of eating healthier. Each day I do not buy junk food of any kind, I will put $1 into a fund. At the end of the year, If I have maintained a stron…

I find old men represented a lot in tarot decks but old women rarely. I'm looking for both oracle and tarot decks with old women represented in them. I have the Textured Tarot and the Literary Witches Oracle but that's about it. I've come across decks like the Faery Forest Oracle which are full of beautiful young people and ONE ancient/crone card with an old woman. That's better than nothing, and I would like to know about such decks too. But I'd be even happier with decks where it's not the exception to the rest of the deck, or a one-off thing.

I just got the new edition of the Mythologia Fennica tarot, a deck rooted in Finnish mythology. This version is mass produced by Rockpool publishing. I also have the older edition, that I bought from the creator herself, Susanna Salo. The reason that I bought the new edition is because I saw that they had altered the titles to make the deck easier to understand. In the old version, it is not as straightforward to tell a major from a minor, and to top that off, every card has also been renamed. I will show you some examples and make comparisons in just a minute, but first we will just look at the packaging of both editions and see how they differ. …

Hey there squad! I recently acquired the Fountain Tarot deck, and I love it! However there are a couple of cards that I 'm struggling to connect with. The King of wands and the 6 of wands and all their juicy insight is eluding me... I understand the meaning/ interpretation behind them in the RWS deck and my other deck, but this deck has a different... character. Anyone with insight please help a girl out! Megan PS, I am borrowing images from the net so you can see the images if you don't already have the deck

I don't believe anyone has posted this one...this is a new animal-based deck just released this year: https://love-light-and-legacy.myshopify.com/products/tarot-fauna-preorder You can see more of the card art here: https://brittanyburkard.com/collections/tarot-fauna

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right spot, pls feel free to move it where it should belong. I am going to Istanbul next month and I am wondering if anyone would know where I could buy tarot decks there. Thank you!

I think this is an important thread to have, but we have to be cautious this doesn't descent into politics. We don't allow political discussions in the rules, so let's keep this to only discussing decks, costs and charges and the tariffs. Topical political discussions always just ends with everyone arguing in threads and then having to be closed, so let's move away from that and keep on topic. Many months ago, I pledged for a Kickstarter from a UK artist, she has sold crowdfunded decks before and people bought the deck from all over the world. The deck was funded and she started sending them off around the world but the decks going to America in August, hit a …

I recently bought a Lo Scarabeo deck, and this advertising card was included. However, I have no idea what deck this Fool image came from ...and I quite like it. Anybody got a clue? There was no reference to it on the advertising card itself.

Hi! Someone i know has a Universal Waite deck that is so much more beautiful than my deck. Both are Universal Waite decks. It is unpossible for me to find a deck like she has. I will show you a picture, with both decks. My question is: does somebody has a deck with the colors like nr 2 on the picture? I hope to find the more darker coloring like in nr 2. I already bought a bluebox and a brown box on the internet, but both decks have the lighter coloring like in nr 1 unfortunally. I hope to find this beautiful deck! Thanks in advance, kind regards

Any thoughts on differences in printings of the Hermetic Tarot? All I know is the red box and yellow box

I make handmade paper and books, mostly on esoteric philosophy. I found this site searching for The Book of Aradia, by Jean Van Slyke. I have been wanting to produce an edition of this deck on handmade paper, letterpress printed, and I want to offer royalties. Does anyone know how to contact Jean Van Slyke ?

Long time no post from me, but that doesn't mean that I don't think about Tarot. On the contrary, I'm gearing up to make a full inventory of my collection very soon. In light of this - and also as a result of my recently discovered interest in puppet-making and puppet theatre - I'm turning my mind to the work of Elisabetta Cassari. Incidentally, Cassari had an interest in puppet theatre, as per this Manteia article https://www.arnellart.com/manteia/articles/ar01-cassari.htm, and made puppets (?). They also feature in her Tarot drawings. I gather she published three decks:`Solleone Tarot` (1983), `Gli Arcani di Elisabetta` (1986) and `Future Solleone Tarot` (1987). And she…

I just finished doing something I threatened to do a while back when I first got the deck and used it for a deck of the week. Backing up: I always had the idea of creating a haiku tarot using recognized haiku masterworks. But someone has beat me to it, and it’s so much better than I was projecting in my mind. It’s Tarot of Japanese Poetry by Irina Ilyina & V. ad Veritatum, published by NYIV Deluxe Cards Ltd. It has a booklet with a poem (not all exactly haiku, but mostly) for each card. The cards illustrate the poem (rather than RWS scenes) with lovely Japanese-style art. The suits are seasons. It adds a princess and “day before” for ea…
