Share Your Collection!

Side note--hubby once replied to a person who was touting the benefits of Kindle or whatnot over physical books by taking the paperback out of his pocket, whacking it hard on the table and saying, "Your turn!" 

 

I just realized I have more than one deck here in the spare room instead of being in the bedroom with the others... hmm...

I do have books on a kindle.  Lots of them.  But I generally don’t put reference material on it.  I find it’s great for travel and for reading what I refer to as ‘beach books’.  You know, those books that take little brain power to get through and are just entertaining enough to keep you occupied for a couple hours.  Digital tarot decks?  No.  Just no.

I use reference material on ebooks.  Why?  It's so easy to search and find what I want using the search function.  I actually have come to prefer ebook format for reference books.

Also, because I live in Bali, it is prohibitively expensive to pay for shipping and customs on books.  Plus I live in a very small house with little room for more books.  Tarot decks:  yes.  Most books:  no.

Just reminding everyone of the purpose of this thread:-

This is the place to share pictures and discuss your collection. Do you have a tarot room and how do you store everything?

I now have 3 cabinets for my cards as my collection keeps growing and plenty of shelf space for new decks.  I love Tarot and oracle decks.  I have some out of print ones that are getting big bucks, but I don’t want to sell off any of them right now.

I have a small collection of decks and oracles (less than 20) but my pride and joy is the Yoshitaka Amano Tarot. He is one of my favorite artists and when I found out many years ago that he'd made a deck, it became my most sought for.

 

Finally, maybe 2-3 years ago, I was able to find it more affordably. The deck is out of print, but pops up semi frequently on auction. It was printed in the mid 90s, I believe.

 

It comes with a full paperback guidebook with spreads and information, fully printed in Japanese.

 

Though he is probably most known for his concept art for a particularly famous video game series, he is a contemporary / gallery artist with a distinct style and a staggering body of work across genres and mediums. I say this as I have heard this deck dismissed as a generic 'anime' styled deck, to which I strongly disagree, even aside my bias!

 

It isn't for everyone by any means, nor in style nor voice.

 

it reads beautifully with a mysterious, almost guarded air. I only find it difficult to read with, because I'd rather look at the artwork aha. I do wish each card were fully illustrated.

 

Photos below are not mine, but for perusal. This is a pip deck with fully illustrated majors and royal families.

This is just my latest acquisition, but I had to share with you all. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot deck. I’m a HUGE BTVS fan so I’m super excited to get this one! 🥰

My Favourite decks live at the end of my bed  (little space here. There's about 30 decks).

The ones in plastic tubs are for daily draw (easy to get in-&-out), 

and the floral bag is my "go bag" - grab, check appropriate decks are inside,

and go to read for someone, or to a Tarot MeetUp.

 

The rest of my collection is: 1 large plastic tub at the bottom of the closet.

1 large plastic tub under the stairs on the ground floor.

And recently - a plastic tub in the garage with decks I no longer want... but will need a proper new home

as some of them are OOP.

I keep my cards in a sort of dresser’s shelf. 

The oracle and miscellaneous decks are on the sides. I have them in a particular order that makes it easy to find them. There’s 27 tarot decks, 5 oracle decks, 2 playing card decks, and 2 therapy card decks. I hadn’t used the therapy cards much. I need bags for a few of them and am looking into getting some.
