Trogon Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 It has now been approximately 12 hours since the Aeclectic Tarot Forums have closed the doors. I wanted to do something to commemorate, in some small way, everything that The Forums was. So, with that in mind, I'm doing a give-away of the Sedona Vortex Tarot! I'm going to set an alarm on my computer (and phone :D) for a secret time on ... oh, let's say Wednesday, 19 July 2017 to give time for lots of folks to hear about this. When my alarm goes of, the last post in the thread at that time will be the winner! So, go ahead and chat away! You can talk about whatever strikes your fancy! Have fun conversations! Edit to add a bit more info on the deck; This deck is new, the cards are in shrink-wrap inside the box. I will admit that I purchased it at a used-book store, but I don't think it is in print any more. The art-work is a collage style using a mix of photographs and drawings. It is a RWS based deck, although, for the most part, the imagery is quite different. The suits are renamed using the names of four of the vortex locations around Sedona; Boynton Canyon, Airport Mesa, Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock and these correspond to Coins, Wands, Swords and Cups (respectively). It is an interesting and seems to be pretty intuitive to work with.
PathWalker Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Someone better start this off then! Wonderful gesture Trogon, thank you PathWalker
Kmartin60 Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Very generous of you! I wound up losing almost all of my decks and down to 3 tarot (think?) and 2 or 3 oracle...I miss my HUGE basket of decks! I know I didn't use them all so it was kind of silly of me to have so many but I guess I'm a very OCD person. (you should see my yarn/dolls and books collection!) ;D is there such a thing as having to many Tarot Decks? hmmm pondering what say you? :-\
Nydia Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 I wound up losing almost all of my decks and down to 3 tarot (think?) and 2 or 3 oracle...I miss my HUGE basket of decks! Can I ask? How did you lose your decks?
Little Fang Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Never such a thing as having too many decks! As long as you have room! Thank you for hosting this Trogon!
Trogon Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Very generous of you! I wound up losing almost all of my decks and down to 3 tarot (think?) and 2 or 3 oracle...I miss my HUGE basket of decks!

(you should see my yarn/dolls and books collection!) ;D is there such a thing as having to many Tarot Decks? hmmm pondering what say you? :-\ Well ... since we're not quite to the end here, I'll go ahead and post (though I won't post much in this thread till the end). First off, I agree 100% with Little Fang - you can't have TOO many Tarot decks! My collection is at 43 right now. I will be adding to it! :D I was also wondering how you lost your collection? I would be kind of broken up over that. I love working with all my different decks, though it does take time. ;)
PathWalker Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Growing this thread :) I have a lot of decks, but when I think about reducing the number I realise I love them all! I would be heartbroken to lose them.
rhinemaiden Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 I discovered I *DID* have too many tarot decks... too many of the "what was I thinking?" variety... weeds in my collection. I culled ruthlessly, sold off about 50% of my 200 deck collection, and now have only decks I truly treasure. For me, less truly IS more!
sphynx131 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 I could definitely stand to reduce my collection, and yet I keep adding to it ha ha
Little Fang Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Here here on the ton of tarot decks, I mean I had 2 come in this month alone and now I'm waiting on an oracle deck. I'm drowninnnng
PathWalker Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 It was busy today - a parcel from lovely Emmsma which contained cards for my latest patchwork deck, several incomplete decks I hope to rescue, and the return of a copy of the Arthurian as it wasn't being loved there :) Is there a special sticker or label when you get back decks you gave away LOL
Luxa Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I'm just gonna jump in here before its too late!! Such a great thing to do, Trogon, thank you! I'm trying not to buy anymore for a while, as I have so many I don't know very well... But I don't have too many, I've only started to collect this year. Before that, I had two decks I used. Good luck everyone! ;)
Dragonfly Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Not too late to post? Well, me too then. What fun this is, and so generous of you!
sphynx131 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Forgot all about posting, glad I didn't miss out [emoji1] I have 2 decks coming, Cat-Rot and PookieCat Rune Cards.
banbha Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Joining the party! I'm not expecting any decks this month. I've been very good. :)
Aystia Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Probably too late, but still wanted to say it's a wonderful idea, and congrats to whoever gets it!
Little Fang Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 It's still Wednesday here, so I might as well post again cause why not. XD Has anybody been watching the bear salmon run cam? It's cool.
Trogon Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 9:16 pm! Ding ding ding ding!!! And Little Fang wins!!!! I'll pm you shortly.
