MoonGypsy Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 i have just received my gorgeous Green Wheel Oracle by Danielle Barlow. It is a self published deck from the UK, which i purchased on Etsy. It is a little pricey [as indy decks can be] but i am so glad i went for it. It has a really interesting linen cardstock that has a lot of texture to it. It reminds me a bit of the Deirdre of the Sorrows tarot cardstock. [for those of you who are familiar with that yummy cardstock] the cards are a nice big size, and it comes with a nice muslin bag and a lidded box. Here is a nice Youtube review and flip through:
RavenOfSummer Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 I have been remiss in not mentioning, I received a very sweet little deck called the Celtic Oracle by Gerry Thompson. It was so inexpensive on eBay that I couldn't pass it up. I also could not resist purchasing a copy of the Warwick Oracle, discussed in this thread. It was a bit of an impulse buy, since the creator had very few left when I ordered it. She actually has done another printing since there was so much demand for it...so still available if anyone is interested! I'm expecting that one to arrive sometime this week from Canada. Ok, we're halfway through March and I've only bought 2 decks this year...not TOO terrible... You're doing better than me, for sure! I've bought 3 new decks so far with nothing new on the way at the moment. I was thinking about buying something today but I'm kind of in a tarot-slump. Not as excited about tarot as I usually am, but not too tired of it either so I think I'll be able to keep up with my journal. Thought it was probably a better idea to remove the decks in my cart and just get the books I wanted which I was actually pretty pumped for. I mostly felt like I "should" get something just because I had the money to do so, if that makes sense? I don't think that would cure my slump and I want to spend more time with my other new decks since I've mostly been hanging out with the Faeries Oracle ^-^ I totally understand that. And I should say, I still have 2 decks pre-ordered that I backed on Kickstarter last year coming later this year- so from that perspective you are doing better than me! ^-^ One is the Marigold Tarot, which was originally expected to ship in February but now won't be shipping until May. And the other is the Goddess Blessings Oracle, which should be shipping in the summer.

I do love it as well, MoonGypsy! Again with our similar taste in decks!! ;D
Lantana Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I recieved the 3rd edition of the ExtraOrdinary Oracle last weekend. It suprised me how thin and fragile the cardstock feels. I think it’s on watercolor/mixed media paper, which has an interesting texture but makes me scare that it’ll rip or fall apart with use. The art and messages are lovely otherwise, still have yet to read with it.
Jewel Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I decided to celebrate Spring by ordering myself a couple of new oracles The Whispers of Lord Ganesha and The Faery Forest Oracle ;D Happy Spring to me!!!!
Whisper Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I decided to celebrate Spring by ordering myself a couple of new oracles The Whispers of Lord Ganesha and The Faery Forest Oracle ;D Happy Spring to me!!!! You will love the Whispers of Lord Ganesha. I have this oracle on a stand and every time I walk by, I see Lord Ganesha and what he has shown me of himself for day beaming out at me.
Whisper Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I was thinking about buying something today... I know how you feel about that, Page. I'm itching for the Shakespeare Tarot. *sigh*
cosita Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Waiting for an early printing of the Lo Scarabeo Visconti Tarots, the one with the two-headed devil and the tower that looks more like a wall.
Canid Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I just ordered the Ghost Tarot by Davide Corsi, he also did the art for Viceversa. It looks intriguing, does anyone have it?

Canid Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The postman didn’t bring it, my son took me to Barnes & Noble today & I got The Illuminati Tarot. It’s lovely! Tomorrow the postman is bringing the Ghost tarot by Davide Corsi. I like Ghosts & Spirits by Lisa Hunt so I’m sure I’ll like this one too. First time I’d been in a ‘real’ bookstore in years! I can spend hours there, & the library.

Queen of Nothing Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I just decided to check the old Ethereal Visions kickstarter and found out that they're finally being shipped! I haven't received an email yet, but I'm sure I'll get one soon. It's technically the 2nd deck I ever purchased, and soon it will be in my hands!

The Sibyl Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I bought it in a Facebook sale group. Now I just have one kidney left. ::)

RavenOfSummer Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 When I saw the first edition of the Universal Mind Oracle that I've had my eye on is about to be discontinued, and the new edition will be more expensive...well, of course I ordered it! So I'm not doing great at not acquiring lots of new decks this year...I am excited about this one though, and I'm saving money by buying it now while it's less expensive, right? O:-) Here is a post where I talked about the edition change and links to purchase each one, in case you're interested! The less expensive first edition is only available for 3 more days, so hurry if you want to order that one!
Whisper Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Caving in. Ordering Chris Leech's Shakespeare Tarot and also his Golden Age of Hollywood that I just discovered this morning. Hermit 10 of Wands I've just been in touch with Chris and he is working on this new Dickensian deck which, apparently will be available in June. He is also working on a silent film deck which should come out later in the year. The cards, I believe, will be 3.5" x 5.75".
