What's The Postman Bringing?

[Eno]

Today I finally got the printed version of the Corrupted Tarot ( I had the digital version for quite some time)

 

[Wyrdkiss]

How do you like it @Eno? I love the variety of art, but does it pack a punch when reading?

[Eno]

@Wyrdkiss I am mainly a collector. I rarely read for other people, if I do I let them choose the deck and so far nobody chose The Corrupted. When I read for myself I choose a deck matching my mood, I wasn't in Corrupted Tarot mood yet.

I finally replaced the Victorian Romantic I gifted away years ago! Came in the mIl today 😀 it's 3rd Edition but it's good enough.

[ballerina]

I didn't buy any decks last year but I seem to really be making up for it this year!

 

Lately I've gotten the free Jean Noblet Majors only deck from Artisan, Tarot V, Angel's Own and Devil's Own Playing Cards, Oracle of Heaven and Hell and some decent tarot bags from Bloodstone, Manifest Success Affirmations Cards from Deja Drewit, and Borderless Deviant Moon and The Oracle of Black Enchantment.

 

I'm waiting for the Trippin' Waite Stars Edition and pouch, and the mini Spring Sibilla from Tarot Collectibles, which should be here pretty soon.

 

And now...I'm going to pause in my buying while I play with these.  Don't know why I waited so long for the Deviant Moon.  I love his stuff and have often gone to his site which is fun to read.

 

I'm glad Baba Studios has pushed back their dates!

Well, I must be tired.  Sorry for the repeats in the message above.  I had forgotten that I already told you about some of my new acquisitions.  They are all worth mentioning again, though!  😄

[Eno]

Today I had to retrieve my Everyday Enchantment Tarot from the post office, since the postman yesterday decided to avoid walking to my house. It sort of becomes a regular occurrence that  he cuts his tour short on Fridays...

[Mi-Shell]

Oh, what joy, my little prize deck from the subscriber winter thread arrived here! 

Jolanda Tarot, I am ready to explore you! 🙂

[Disa]

I haven’t bought any decks in a while, but when the weather is so hot I start longing for October and Halloween. Today I ordered The Jack-o-Lantern Tarot, the Hocus Pocus Tarot, and the Silver Tarot Cards Deck.  I haven’t been reading in months. Hoping these decks will spark something. 

[gregory]

In THEORY, my Blooming Cat. However the delays and excuses have been such that I begin to wonder if it will EVER arrive. Unfortunately it seems to be a small group of backers - 5% of us... who are having issues.

I finally re-purchased the William's Minchiate with my rewards points! For some reason, I gave the book away that came with my cards (I don't know how many) years ago. I miss my book! It cost my a whopping $0.05 🙂 It should be here Friday...

 

 It was a deal I couldn't pass up!

Definitely a good deal!  I'm reading the book now!  I love all the art history goodness!

I finally got my Blooming Cat Tarot today. Suprisingly my postman worked this friday (usually he skips Fridays) 🙂

 

@Gregory I hope yours has been delivered too by now...

[gregory]

I had to leave the UK before it had arrived. I HOPE in 6 weeks I will have mine... Did it get hit by customs ?

[legendaryelement]

I am holding my breath in anticipation ...

 

Mythical Creatures monochrome edition is on its way! This was the last Baba Studios tarot deck that I need/want for my collection.

Yes, I had to pay customs.

[gregory]

Oh crap. Because UK post can only hold such things for 14 days... and I don't know if my mail-wardens will be able to pay up... It might get - RETURNED.....

I just ordered the Spectrowhirl Tarot off Etsy. It's bright and vibrant and well-named. I'd attach a photo, but I don't think I'm permitted yet. I will do so when it arrives.

[Drake_Winterfell]

The Tarot of the Silicon Dawn is on its way. Its such a unique deck I just had to buy it.

You can actually.

Thanks Gregory! I did receive it two days after I ordered it. Fastest shipping ever. But then I forgot to post about it like I said I would - Bad. But you've done it for me! And look at all those gorgeous, bright colors. I do love it. So pretty.

A visit to etsy must happen soon …

 

I got my FlonzGifts (Amazon) order yesterday & opened the deck today:

Secret Life of Cats (artist Louis Wain)

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1199984788/secret-life-of-cats-playing-cards-poker

 

I have the Flower Fairy deck too.

Wow that Spectrowhirl is intense. Not the style I'd usually go for, but I feel it would be very invigorating. It's quite a delight for the eyes.

What have you done!!??!!  I had to look at everything in this shop.  I love the psychedelic cats by the same artist.  Did you see the movie about him? 

 

And I was just thinking the other day someone should make a Maxfield Parrish tarot.  If that doesn't happen soon, these playing cards will have to do for me! 

 

And there's "Unnatural History" cards, too!  I've been binging on mythical creatures and cryptids recently, so I should probably pass on that one, but it's super cute!  The snowy owl is labeled "Amicus Harry"!

 

Uh, back to our regularly scheduled postman subject:  I'm awaiting Golden Age of Romance Tarot Card Deck from Etsy seller Bobby's Tarot Decks.  I also have his WPA deck, which is very cool.  (There, a little turn-about Etsy enabling for you!)

[Mi-Shell]

It is not often, that I buy new decks these days.

But this one I could not pass up!

Ei bummmer, what a loooooong web address... 😞

 

 

The Alchemists Garden, Psychoactive, Shamanic and Medicinal Plants.

78 card Tarot deck, and full In-Depth guide book, inside vintage, classy, organic card custom box.

🌱The Alchemists Garden:

 

The deck is based on combined shamanic plants and traditional archetypes of the tarot, together, forming a bridge between the archetypal, mystical, alchemical and botanic worlds. Book includes a scientific descriptions of the plants, layouts and a in depth guidance of the spiritual medicine of the card.

There's something special about self-reflection that can help you rise off of the forest floor and break through your own canopies. The weight of the ever-expanding corporate bustle, and social intensity is increasing. As the internet, social media, work grow and unite us, so too does the complexity, and this is something that should perhaps be integrated.
But how can we find ourselves rising high in this complex urban sprawl we inhabit? Fortunately we still have vast forests, and expansive rural sectors. We are in arms reach of our land, and the plants have great wisdom to share with us.
