Tarot Decks

I looked through this forum to see if I could find a topic like this but didn't see one. I just thought it might be fun to share what decks we're reaching for lately. What do you keep returning to and why? What deck is drawing your attention right now? Do you think there's a reason? I've been drawn to the This Might Hurt tarot pretty steadily since I received it (last fall) and that's still true now. But I could see how recent events might cause people to reach for something new or familiar or just change things up! So I'm curious. 🙂 (I'm new so please let me know if this isn't the right spot for this.)

I just found my second deck, Light Seer's tarot. I am so in love with this deck! What is your favorite deck and why? How do you choose which deck you use for your readings?

For me, it's the Universal Waite I got about 13 years ago in a trade on AT. I traded an edition of the Bohemian Gothic (remember the printing that some decks had red spots? I got TWO of them) for a Universal Waite deck, the one that was printed in Belgium. It was used, but in good shape. I LOVE the Bohemian Gothic, I now have a first edtion and would never trade it. BUT the one actual deck I've had the longest, UNI WAITE. I had decks before that, but they were traded away.

I was just reminded of an appearance of a Tarot deck in series 2, episode 2 (2013) of Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries; "Death Comes Knocking". The deck is shown a couple of times, but the best look at it comes towards the end of the show; At 58:48 in the above linked video is where Jack Robinson gets a reading from Mrs. Bolkonsky. It is an interesting looking deck and I'm wondering if anybody recognizes it?

As the title says, I found a beautiful deck but can't find out what deck it is https://www.keen.com/articles/tarot/seven-of-wands-reversed-tarot-card Who knows what deck this is?

This has been making me a little bonkers trying to find out what deck this is-- Ive been meaning to join this forum for almost a year now- so what a perfect reason to do so. Hi and blessed be all. This is the back of card image. I have jpegs of fronts but can't figure out how to add them here.

I've had this deck since I was a teenager (major arcana only, I have no idea if I used to have the full set). Very little memory of it but somehow have managed to hold on to it all this time. Any ideas what it is or where it comes from?

Hello <3! This is my very first post so do excuse me please if I am breaking some rules. I have only one picture from a deck and would very much like to know whic dekc it is - does somebody know? [url=https://www.linkpicture.com/view.php?img=LPic617a7524932d82075057587][img]https://www.linkpicture.com/q/248893910_293429352443124_7492383174482185370_n_1.jpg[/img][/url]

This is a hypothetical question, for me, since I have no children and no access to any that I might teach tarot to, but talking to FreyjaVanir[/member] about the Crystal Unicorns deck made me wonder. There's plenty of decks I might be careful to keep away from a young child - Finland (where I am) doesn't really have a taboo against non-sexualised nudity, so that wouldn't be enough to make me put a deck on a high shelf, but there are some fairly dark or sexual decks out there that I think we can agree we wouldn't let a nine-year-old play with! - but I can't think of many that are not just child-friendly, but also easily readable. Other than the aforementioned Crystal U…

What decks, old or new, are tempting you right now? For me, it is the Animism Tarot on Etsy and the Badgers Forest Tarot by bluedogrose. I am sure I will think of more. :D

What do you think of the Shakespeare Tarot? Really interested in your opinions. Thank you kindly. <3

@stephanelli suggested this might make its own topic from discussion on another thread. It's been on my mind lately. Curious what others think and feel around this. We jokingly have the tarot enabling thread and de-enabling thread. But the fact is ... we come on this forum, or social media, or YouTubes, and see decks, desire them, buy them. When I lived in a small house I was a minimalist and pretty judgy about deck collecting. Prolly it was jealousy. I had limited space and budget. Over the course of 7 months my life utterly transformed and I suddenly had a big house and money. My collection blossomed into 57 Tarots, 9 Oracle…

Hi guys, I haven't see a thread like this with the advanced search, and I wanted to identify a Tarot Deck. Maybe this thread could be used every time we want to identify a Tarot deck based only on a picture or a description. Anyway, here is the deck that I want to know the name: I'm 100% sure that it's from Lo Scarabeo, and I saw reviews of it before, but I wasn't drawn to it in the past and never noted the deck's name. Recently, I saw this image in a book (Tarot Experiences by Lo Scarabeo) but could not find any reference to the name of the deck. Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance!

Hello. I'm searching for the name of this deck? Thank you in advance for your replies. 🙂

What is the circle thing By her right hand on the near the water in this image? Can not figure out what it is! Thank you!

If you know that you have to perform a very important reading that needs to be extremely accurate, which deck would you reach for? If push comes to shove and the clock is ticking, which would you choose to make your Hail Mary pass? It can be a deck you feel a very strong rapport with or which has a high batting average, or maybe it has given you very clear and straightforward readings.

Hello, everyone Do you have a comfort deck? A deck that you go to when you want a soothing, gentle reading that you know will calm you and let you know that everything will be all right? A deck that just lifts your spirits? Or a deck that makes you feel better just by holding it (or is that just me?). Mine are the Hanson-Roberts Tarot and the Happy Tarot. The Hanson-Roberts was my first deck, so it feels like an old friend. It's artwork is gentle, with soft pastels, and I know I'll always get an encouraging reading from it. The Happy Tarot is the lift-my-spirits deck - when I'm feeling down, I pull it out, and it always makes me smile.

My selection would be with the Morgan Greer deck which I originally acquired in the 1980s. It's my favori…

I don't think we have a thread like this yet. I thought it would be interesting to have an ongoing, editable, thread to keep tabs of our personal favorites. And also we will be able to see how our favorites compare with others. This thread should not be confused with other thread that discuss "Top Ten Decks" of such-and-such year, or the "Top Ten of All Time", threads. These are your personal favorites that may be subject to change. If you can, simply edit your original post with your updated favorites and continue the discussion with why, when, how, your deck(s) appeal to you in subsequent posts. This could be a great thread! I'm looking forward …

Standard - 2.75” x 4.75 Bridge - 2.25” x 3.5 or Mini - 2 x 3.5 and why? For me I prefer and collect mini cards as I feel that I have pretty small hands. Also I like the way the mini cards shuffle. But I was wondering how everyone else feels about it..

I've never been much of a deck collector ... limited space. But after moving to larger digs ... I recently started collecting. Yes, the flip-throughs save me from buying decks I won't ever use ... but I still might purchase a deck thinking it will be great to read with ... and nothing. Then another deck I feel hesitant about ... and BAM! Instant rapport. Curious, right? I have instant rapport with some decks I didn't expect ... and NO rapport with some decks I thought I'd love. By no rapport I mean I don't trust the reads the deck gives me. Like reading with it just feels "off" ... and I reach for another deck I do trust to do a clarificati…

To qualify I'm asking about decks you bought from say, 5-15 years ago when they were trendier or new that you still use regularly. What has kept your interest, has anything changed in how you perceive the deck? What about decks you may have jumped on the bandwagon with that lost your interest? What was it that made you not maintain a "relationship" with those cards? I'm going to name the Anna K. Tarot and the Lunatic Tarot as two that I've 'stayed with.' The Anna K. has become like a homey old friend, honest, comfortable without being overly cute or dressed up, the cards are a nice size and easy to use - it's almost completely replaced the Morgan Greer for fr…

When looking at your decks, do you notice a certain theme? Do you seem to like collecting Thoth-based decks, pocket-sized decks in tins, historical ones, etc? When you check a certain category in good old AT, does it seem like you have bought almost all the decks listed there? Or are your tastes quite varied and eclectic?

I am struggling to decide whether to buy myself a book about tarot or a tarot deck. Both cost around the same price. What do you recommend I buy?
