But I hope you get the FULL book - my deck came from Finland with the help of Hemera here, and I bought the English book later when it was translated - I was SO glad to get that ! Just ordered the Fennica deck and book set. Damn, this forum is going to be disastrous to my checking account! 🙂 _________________________________________________ "Just because my client is legally sane, doesn't mean he isn't crazy." - Defense Attorney (TV Show: Law & Order)
rylla Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I've got the Soul Cats tarot, it's a sweet deck. Beautiful book too, with good spreads. I am in LOVE with the Teraccotta tarot, but I can't find it anywhere (except there is a listing on eBay but also a notice that the seller is in vacation 'till the end of 2030!!)
gregory Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I imagine that's because they are in Russia and probably Ebay is blocking sales from there.... Oh and NO international postage. Will only post to the US. THAT's weird.... Edited January 20, 2023 by gregory

Just the Urban Crow Oracle this time with a few more Japanese incenses and a purple velvet tarot bag to keep them company. I haven't quite been won over by MJ Cullinane's other decks yet but I do like an oracle with teeth and this seems to have plenty. I haven't been tempted by MJC's tarot decks, but I had her ROAR oracle which I like and got her Urban Crow Oracle for Christmas. I really like the crow oracle - you can tell she knows these birds and their behavior well!

I feel the same, @Bodhiseed, about MJC’s tarot and oracle decks. I have the Urban Crow Oracle and find it to be a good reader, but I hadn’t heard about the ROAR Oracle.

Scarlet Woodland Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 @Bodhiseed @FindYourSovereignty I'm really enjoying the Urban Crow Oracle. It seems very well balanced and love all the crow anecdotes. The ROAR oracle looks interesting too. I wonder if Hay House will pick that one up too.
Niobium Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 At long last, a copy of the Tarot Nusantara is in theory making its way to me. !!! Finally. I also ordered the Tarot Spirit of Taiwan from looktarot. Quite looking forward to both, though ofc now I need to figure out my space situation...

I've got the deck today and also the Fyodor Pavlov. The Earth Magic has a special feel, the Fodor is a special deck too. These are 2 decks not to be missed by any tarotist (I did not write 'by tarot collectors' since I am not a collector) who use the RWS system. These are 2 very well thought out, very well done decks. Damn this thread, right?! LOL
fire cat pickles Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) A late Christmas gift... Someone gave me an amazon gift card for a funeral I played a few months back. I finally cashed it in and got the RWS mini for my backpack! With paramedic school starting next month, I figured I'm going to need it since I'm the resident tarot card reader for the group 🤪 Edited January 24, 2023 by fire cat pickles
MichaelH Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 I do a little task involving receiving and sending packages and letters in the post as a way of auditing the performance of postal services, and they pay me in reward points which I can exchange for Amazon vouchers. So I got £50 in vouchers and today ordered the Queer Tarot by Ashley Molesso and Chess Needham. Looking forward to getting a deck with alternative sexualities represented (there are some decks where I feel positively excluded by The Lovers or the Two of Cups....). I also ordered the Moonology Oracle deck (my first Oracle deck) and a book Your Tarot Toolkit by Tom Benjamin. I saw that reviewed and thought it sounded interesting. And it's good to have some real-life books rather than Kindle copies, which I have for a lot of my Tarot library. Delivery due by 4th Feb so looking forward to playing around with the decks and getting into the book.

What a fun activity for you to have some shopping funds. I have both of these and am glad I do. Today the Mythologia Fennica Tarot deck and guidebook surprised me at my door. I thought it would take longer to arrive in the US. Even the box it was shipped in was lovely. This is a very pleasant surprise for my weekend activities.

After weeks and months of waiting for various overseas orders ... I'm down to only one deck coming in the mail. Which is SKT by Benebel Wen. That one was a pre-order so god only knows when it will come. In the past few months I've gotten decks from France, Italy, and Czech Republic. Some fast, some slow. It feels good to finally NOT be waiting impatiently for a deck from far-off lands };>

Oh, i preordered this also. Timeline noted is February/March. I haven’t decided if I am going to print the book. I thought I’d wait to get the cards first and then decide. I have a couple more overseas coming. They are projecting delivery in February, but we’ll see.

The book in total winds up pretty expensive, then again it's several hundred pages long and in full color. Not a shocker. A very nice book, I opted to spring for it, but I would blame no one for deciding not to.
Emily Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I've just taken delivery of the Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot mini. It is a very pretty version of the RWS. 🙂

gregory Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I THINK the one I have tracking on is my 78 Magickal. But I also have tracking on one from Seattle and I've no idea what...
rylla Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I've got the Serpent and peacock. Very disappointed. It seems like a great deck but mine is approx. standard deck size, lacks luminosity or contrast, not sure what, but it is not enjoyable for me in this size. Soon after I ordered it (yeah, it took a looong time to get here but this doesn't bother me) the kickstarter campaign started for the art version. I'm sure THOSE cards they are great and enjoyable. Not just the size, there have been some improvement to its design as well. With taxes, shipping, etc mine was almost as much as it would've been if I would've ordered the art version. Now it's seems to me too much to order that one too (to pay so much for the same deck). I've also got the Marseille-Waite tarot, very nice. Edited January 30, 2023 by rylla

Maybe you could reach out to her and see if she might work with you somehow? I have this one and think it is grand because it is standard size, smooth and I can riffle shuffle nicely, however, I completely understand how the art version of the deck speaks to you.
FindYourSovereignty Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I have books arriving this week. I am drawn to workbooks 😍 1. Voyager Tarot: Way of the Great Oracle by James Wanless, PhD (I don’t even have the deck.) 2. The Tarot Workbook - Understanding and Using the Tarot Symbolism by Emily Peach 3. Tarot Spells by Janae Renee 4. Tarot According to You by Nancy Garen (I personally did not like her Tarot Made Easy book, but heard this one isn’t like that at all.) 5. Spiritual Tarot - Seventy Eight Paths to Personal Development by the authors of The Lovers’ Tarot My 2023 tarot curriculum along with 3 others on my wish list.

Thanks. I'll try... Got the Khanesha!
Esclarmonde Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I just got the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery by Robert M. Place. I've been wanting that deck for ages but I think it was out of print for a while. This is the second edition (according to the label on the box). The cards are wonderful, though they have gilded edges and right now this is making them a bit sticky. I hope this goes away because the cardstock is very good quality and they should shuffle easily.
akiva Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I recieved L'horoscope belline yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about it... The art work isnt something I usually go for in a deck, but it reads well thus far! I did think it was the oracle belline when I bid on it, but realised it wasn't when I won the auction 😂
