I’ve got two new decks coming today. The Nordic Mystic tarot and a rune oracle. We’ll see if my demon tarot will let me go, so I can try these new cards
Does anyone just shuffle their favourite deck, just to feel the energy and find it calming? I find it’s a good stress reliever.
Bit late to the conversation but one of my favourite decks in terms of imagery is the Santa Muerte. I could spend time just flicking through and looking at them even when not doing a reading.
I have an old greek gods tarot deck that I don’t use for readings but sits under my laptop stand so I can grab it and shuffle when I’m nervous. stressed or high energy. There’s something about the size of the cards and the paper that’s perfect to shuffle.
What I lovely thread to look through, thank you for posting this!! I would love an oracle deck sub conversation like @Artemisia brought up as well, though perhaps everyone covered it a bit as well?
I’ve included my mothers tarot deck from Stuart Kaplan- my favorite but sometimes I struggle to use at times… It has a blank card, which I adore. And I made sure to include the world card from my thread a bit ago
I also included my elemental power deck from Melinda Lee Holm, I found in a wonderful little town where the woman in the shop immediately sat me down for a reading and then lunch. They also have a comforting weight for shuffling and the smell has not faded in years… fresh paper and ink despite the time and handling.
and last but not least, a wallpaper photo of the ten of swords from the modern witch tarot which is a lovely local and this one specifically is one that many people speak up about, if they’re interested in tarot or simply the visuals.
The words on the 10 of swords reminds me of the acronym for FINE: f**ed up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional.
My mom and I say “I’m fine” whenever we are having a hard moment but aren’t ready to talk about it. We usually have a chuckle because we know what we mean and then we are usually able to talk about it or shift the energy a bit or just give each other support.
Where did that come from? I first heard it in The Italian Job.
Apparently it is used in self help groups and then popularized in an Aerosmith song and some movies like the Italian Job.
It’s definitely a good way of describing life feeling out of control.
Hi all!!! I’m so sorry! I’ve been MIA here. I absolute LOVE all these beautiful decks!!!
I recently went to a Five Below and found the CUTEST keychain tarot card set and they’re actual cards, just tiny
I’m back for good. Sorry! We’ve had some crazy here!!!
Love love love! The art is beautiful
@marie21 That keychain tarot is adorable Hope all is settling for you from the “crazy” you’ve had. Blessed be
Thank you. I enjoy finding meaningful trinkets the pictures on them are so small, but I like that they’re an actual deck
Yes, the crazy has settled here. All is good, we have been extremely blessed, and will be introducing new life to this world in December
That little tarot deck is so cute!
Welcome home, @marie21!
The mini keychain tarot deck is gorgeous - it would be a perfect deck for a travel altar!
That is so adorable… possibly necessary for me to add one to my little bit of things I have on me
I just had to bring my bag o’ decks out to the living room & didn’t realize how heavy it actually is I definitely have a deck problem
I got this new tarot deck called Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and love the vibe of it. It gives me a nice feeling in my body when I look at it and it’s beautifully made with silver border.
My favorite decks so far My first ever deck was Tarot of a Moon Garden. Top is just an antique variation on Rider Waite deck. Middle is the Halloween Tarot and bottom is Medieval Scapini Tarot
@Nacurro Your Shadowscapes Tarot is beautiful! It’s funny, that was actually the first deck I ever ordered, but the seller sent the guidebook and not the cards lol. I never got my hands on the deck itself. You’ll have to enjoy it for me - happy readings!
@VioletFreya Three gorgeous decks! They’re all lovely and fun in their own ways, but that Medieval Scapini Tarot is mesmerizing Thanks for sharing your pretty treasures!
Oh my goodness what a let down that must’ve been for you. Weren’t you compensated for their fault? I will do that for you @BryWisteria
