It's a pet peeve of mine, too. 20 hours ago, gregory said: I recently received this rather wonderful deck as an anniversary gift. https://www.hayhouse.co.uk/the-storytellers-tarot-card-deck It's lovely and also very interesting. Sounds like a pleasant surprise.

akiva Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) The Genoese Tarot my lovely partner got me: It's tarot with playing card pips, but doesnt shoe horn the french pips with tarot pips like other decks in this style. The outlines on the majors and court cards are gold foiled, making it my first bling deck too! 😄 ETA: It's also cambric linen stock, and printed by Cartamundi, so the quality is there 😍 Edited January 11 by akiva

RunningWild Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) I received the We Are One Tarot yesterday, my first collaborative deck. It’s interesting. Worth the money? Of course! And because it was on a list I keep of decks I might like to have but aren’t high priority, I ordered the Lowbrow Tarot, also collaborative for those who don’t know. Also, majors only. Also, the only majors-only deck I’ll own. Some day I might even buy the book. Edited January 16 by RunningWild
Troll Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Got Mary el Tarot and I ching dead moon today. My first tarot decks my mom helped to open them ,because even at 35 I am bad with opening things(cerebral palsy) She said that Mary el looks fantastic and quality is amazing compared to I ching that is crappy cards in crappy books .

I bought it at the time to support the forum and loved it when it arrived! It changed my view of them. Also it's lovely when you use it and the card is by someone you know here. They really reflect people's creative personalities . It's a really good reading deck!

I don’t know if it will work well for me in readings but time will tell. I haven’t had much time or space to break out all the decks and really delve in. I have zero privacy here so it’s going to be a while. I did sort the deck out by artist so I could examine each artist’s style.

It's one of my favorite oracle decks, I often use it! One of the decks I purchased lately was the Citadel Oracle deck. I haven't used it yet, but I am looking forward to trying it out one of these days! I bought it to use as an archetype deck. Edited January 18 by Saturn Celeste
geoxena Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Yes, I like it. That's why I ordered it again. I had it for a number of years and liked the artwork a lot. So it bothered me that I had somehow lost it a few years ago. But I don't really use it as a proper oracle. I draw a card from it to use as a "theme" for the day or as an additional "something" for myself or a querent to think about at the end of a tarot reading. 8 hours ago, Saturn Celeste said: On 12/23/2024 at 8:30 AM, geoxena said: Vintage Wisdom Oracle Have you received the deck now?

Troll Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Only been using Mary el Tarot for 3 days (My first serious deck) I must say I am amazed how accurate pieces of paper can be especially for secular reader .

Nemia Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) I have received some new decks lately, and there are more on their way to me. It's simply a very long way - my Zodiac Tarot and Sefirot - Spheres of Heaven Tarot took MONTHS to arrive 😄 Zodiac Tarot in a tin - pocket size, a bit too shiny for my taste but nice and crips. Beautiful black background, proper constellations, really easy to read with. If you know the astrological glyphs, you can use this deck to learn each card's Golden Dawn astrological correspondences. I love decks in tins. It's a world of wisdom in your bag. Sefirot Tarot - Spheres of Heaven - a very elegant, smooth and minimalist with pip minors. I have several Kabbalist decks, so this is a good addition. I wish I had the time to do a deep dive comparison of some of them. The cardstock is wonderful - matte, and strong, I really like it (although I'm not a cardstock snob and didn't even notice cardstock before learning more about it online). It doesn't look very kabbalistic to me but still, it's interesting and I'm glad I bought it. Grimalkin's Curious Cats - I find MJ Cullinane's aesthetic very interesting. It's busy, rich and thought-inspiring. Her cats are very expressive, and there is a sense of humour in this deck, like in most cat decks. Her cats are not generic but individuals, and they inhabit the world of tarot effortlessly. I'll add some pictures later. It's always a happy day at the Casa Nemia when a new deck arrives!

FindYourSovereignty Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) The postman delivered two Kickstarter decks to me yesterday. The Craft Felt Tarot by Gianna Lucci This deck comes with a Book of Haiku instead of a guidebook since it is so easily recognizable RWS. Cards are glossy and slippery. Zinc powder will be needed. Fun and unique deck art. US creator. Aradia’s Oracle by Ivy Hart Valo This comes with a 45 page guidebook and three suggested spreads. It comes with 60 cards, 30 keywords duplicated. The concept is to find pairings that reveal the message needed for the day. It is a soft-touch card stock. Edit to add: Canadian creator. Edited January 22 by FindYourSovereignty

The main reason I didn't purchase it is the gold foil—that's always a dealbreaker for me. Sadly I haven't used it yet but I am preparing to do so. I have been reviewing past life readings lately and will be using the deck in those readings. The cards are shaped weird but I don't have a problem shuffling them as they are flexible. I love the foil, it is a copper color and makes the cards quite lovely to me. I've been using the Archetypes deck in past life readings but am looking forward to using the Citadel deck to replace those cards.
gregory Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Arcane Limbus. I had never heard of it till 20 minutes ago. Now it's coming.

I find the images bring quite a bit of novelty despite their CSW familiarity. Even for a non-skully like me, the illustrations are captivating. The Stars card is wonderful!
FindYourSovereignty Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I picked up my mail today and the Victorian Faery Kickstarter had arrived: A big surprise for today!

Such a shame that - as it's not new and it was limited - the QR code for the translation of the instruction card from Russian has expired - but then I found a wonderful Russian OCR site and managed a translation by assiduous copy-pasting - and that card is fascinating.... I am always on death and skull rolls. Death is my favourite card.
Toreador Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I finally received the perfect deck for those intimate questions that may require some risqué wisdom. What a fitting find for this month of love. I do hope that the insights in the booklet meshes well with some literature I have on sexual divination. Planning to unseal this brand spanking new Tarot Erotica on the day of hearts, which this year falls on a Friday. The latter is of course ruled by Venus, the planet of romance and carnality. I can't wait!
