Oh, I don't know. Sometimes there's no place to see the whole deck and you only find out it's a dud after it arrives...

Sometimes, everyone on YouTube is recommending a deck saying it's great and then you get it and you find they ignored all thy text and recommended thy a deck that thy cannot bear. 😵😄

I had a look at youtube and yeah - ack ack ack. Even the commenters seldom mention the gibberish. What's up with that?
Thy youtube is rife with thy gibberish-mongers.

I'm halfway through Kelly's review and even she hasn't mentioned the word salad cards yet, she seems to only be reading the text on the more coherent ones. ARGH.
 

I must leave a comment.

Hmm... when I see the glossy cardstock and what the back of the cards looks like (and this green on the edges), I think it would be a deck very easy to de-enable (and there is much more to say apparently... 🤪). Don't forget there is a special thread on the forum to help people just before they press the buy button @Aeona

Nevertheless, it's possibly a thread that won't be open anymore after January 1st for everyone, I'm not sure.

This week I have received

• The Plant Spirit Oracle + companion book (by the creator of Tarot of Trees)

• Temperament Astrology’s Forgotten Key by Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum

[legendaryelement]

Arrival of my lulu.com order!!

 

• Reading the Marseille Tarot by J-M David [edition 1.4]

• Elven Star Magick by James Burgess

[Aeona]

I placed an order with Llewellyn on December 15, and I don't think it has shipped yet.  In my account, the order is listed as shipped but when I go to the USPS to track it, it says "label created, not in the system yet" 

Anyway, it's 2 books and 2 decks, Path working the Tarot, Your Tarot Courts, the full size Nicola Ciccoli deck and the Tarot Vintage which will be my first actual RWS other than the gummi bear clone.

I hadn't bought any decks since around 2006? Until last year when I bought the mini Ciccoli and the Whispering Spirit tarot.  I am recently seeing all the amazing tarot decks I've missed out on and now I feel like I'm catching up.  I already received the Santa Muerte and the Murder of Crows tarot from a small business that I ordered those from.  I also ordered a used deck cheap from someone on eBay, The Wild Unknown set with the book.  And after I get paid this week I have more planned... 😊

For my Dark Mansion, what I know is that it is on its road, but I had this idea it will leave Varsaw-Poland by plane, but... there has been no update since Monday (when it left the country), so I'm finally wondering if it won't come by truck! Possible, Poland is in Europe! What an adventure 😁

 

[DanielJUK]

I bought it just before we left the EU, just in case I would become harder for me to get! 🤣

 

You will love it @Decan

Thanks @DanielJUK!

You were right to do that, within the European Union=no additional tax!

If it had to come from the US or elsewhere, honestly, I wouldn’t have bought it.

By mail and in person for the Winter Solstice I received 14 parcels!

So far I have opened only a few of them and one contained The Crow Tarot!

I know, there is at least one more coming, something I ordered myself: The Illustrated Herbal, an Oracle deck.

[Aeona]

I had ordered (through an eBay auction) a used copy of the Wild Unknown tarot deck with the booklet, and what arrived today from the seller was this Illuminated Tarot by Caitlin Keegan, a 53 card deck?  If it was any actual tarot deck that I didn't already have, I'd probably be ok with it but uhhhh I can't use this.

They can't not accept returns if they sent the wrong item. Take it up with ebay.

I went through the eBay process to let the seller know about the problem, and they did agree to accept the return.  I've never had this happen before, so I'm glad they make the process easy but I'm still disappointed and disillusioned.  I thought I was going to get a great deck for a bargain, but all I got was annoyance.

[Decan]

I'm lucky since I received my Dark Mansion Tarot on December 24th!! I interpreted this as a very good omen.

It is amazing, the card stock is wonderful. I was hesitating but chose the matt oversized edition, and I don't regret.

[ilweran]

I received the Winterseer Animal Oracle by Siolo Thompson today. Very excited as I love her art. Planning to use it with her plant oracle (and maybe the Linestrider Tarot).

I just received a rather late Christmas gift - Anna Lo Bello's majors deck.

 

 

Isn't it lovely ?

Ordered the Game of Hope Lenormand. Just 3 to 4 weeks for delivery

[Rachelcat]

Good to see you took advantage of the sale! 

 

So did I!  Now awaiting:

Diversions of the Court of Vienna Coffee Cards, c. 1796
Teuila Fortune Telling Cards c. 1899/1923

 

Kind of embarrassed to admit EVERYTHING I'm awaiting, but here it goes!

 

Received today Cosmic Cat Wisdom Cards.  Hey, cats, what can I say!

Will get tomorrow or so Good Karma Tarot.

The Amazon gift cards from my kind coworkers were burning a hole in my pocket!  These are meant to replace a kitten oracle and a simple, girly tarot I already have in my collection.

 

And two Kickstarters I backed:

Tarot of Japanese Poetry.  I never got around to putting together a haiku tarot, so I'm buying one instead!

Black Cat Tarot by Thea.  Yes, more cats!

 

And the collection count is on the rise again!

[Niobium]

I feel like the Old Gods are against decks made with them; the Cthulu Dark Arts deck is delayed AGAIN. But...soon, it should be here. Soon. x.x

 

I got a Barnes and Noble Gift Card for Christmas and there's some MM decks that are looking at me longingly except I'm almost hard up against my storage limit. I suppose I need to be more serious on my destash to make space.

Latest but first arrival for 2022! 😉 
"The Star Tarot" by Cathy McClelland.
