First the picturesā¦
At the moment I have 5 tarot decks(in addition to an RW one) and 6 oracle decks. The first tarot deck I got back in 1998 when my journey started.
I guess I lean more towards animals and critter-themed decks with a slightly darker, fairy-tale theme.
What does that say about me? Hmmmmā¦ Iām honestly not sure! 
Hmmmā¦ 
My very first deck was a Rider-Waite tarot deck but it has since been gifted to a friend of mine that had lost all of her witchy items & loves the deck.
My following tarot decks are:
My oracle decks are:
My decks are kind of all over the placeā¦ 
@Susurrus Whatās the difference between a tarot deck and an oracle deck? The newbie needs to know! 
I havenāt ventured into tarot yet!
Oracle Decks are like messages. They have images & messages, affirmations, information. They donāt get read the same way as tarot cards. Typically they are read upright unless otherwise stated in their guide books.
To see the differences: April, May, June 2022 Single Oracle/Rune/Tarot has examples of different types of decks with the picture of the card & associated information. They are mostly labeled tarot deck or oracle within the posts. Each day members post different single card draws from an oracle deck, tarot deck, or runes.

@Susurrus Thanks! You know I will definitely check it out! Iāve been perusing the oracle/tarot draw, but hadnāt really thought much about it! I love how much Iām learning!
@Amethyst It sounds like you have found your tarot soulmate, Amethyst- may your Robin Wood Tarot continue to serve you well and help you find all the answers you seek! 
@MeganB Perhaps thatās the message right there- you are a diverse, open-minded soul who appreciates good art and creative imagery! 
Sometimes what seems to be a lack of theme is a theme in itself 
@Artemisia I love how you chose a card and took its representative in each deck for comparison- itās so cool to see the different interpretations across designs! 
I can definitely see the animal and natural world taking the spotlight across your decks 
. That fantastical, whimsical, fairy-tale vibe is there too 
Very cool to see!
@Susurrus Ohhh itās a good idea to include Oracle decks too- Iād even consider Oracle decks, which are not bound to traditional guidelines in the same way tarot decks are, to be even more unique and personalized. And looking at your list of oracle decks, I feel like I am reading one of your introductions, Siofra 
- I think your decks paint a very good picture of the things you hold dear: aka the focus points in your magickal practice! 
@AileyGrey Siofra summed it up beautifully, and I also recommend taking a look at Meganās post Itās in the Cards that talks about tarot, oracle, and even other options like the lenormand decks! When it comes to divinatory cards, youāve got lots of choices to explore 
So far I have 4 decks of tarot:
My first I went with a traditional Rider-Waite deck. Probably been the best for learning but not 100% on that! There are a lot of books and information about it. I am still struggling to remember the meanings of the cards but I am improving.
Next Decks:
Witchās Tarot: No devil card and I like that.
Cat Tarot: I love cats.
Anima Mundi: Love the gold edges and the art on both sides!
My favorite so far is the Anima Mundi I think I was reading something you wrote about it one day @BryWisteria and had to have it! Thank you for sharing that one! My husband really likes this one too!
Original Tarot, Witchās Tarot, Cat Tarot, and Anima Mundi
I donāt know if itās saying anything about me yet since Iām new. I have seen some Oracle decks I was interested in but Iām not sure of the names. I know one was a Viking deck. Maybe an Oracle deck will be my next
Ohh youāre right! Youāre so good with words I couldnāt have even put that together.
@Sarafeena_Sage It sounds like youāve got some lovely decks, Sarall And hooray! Iām so glad you enjoy the Anima Mundi too, it is a really great deck. It can be pretty blunt at times (which suits the deck, nature doesnāt pull punches 
) but it means we always get what we need to hear
Youāve got a very witchy collection so far- you started with traditional and are now branching out into deeper areas of personal interest, I can see a theme of animals and nature in your decks! 
Iām sure your future decks will continue to reflect your personality and the unique traits of your magickal path- have fun and happy deck collecting!
@MeganB Hahaha every now and then something comes out of my mouth (or fingers? Iām typing here so who knows lol) that clicks- I guess I used up my ācool phraseā of the week!
Iām happy if it resonated with you
Indeed! I went down the Etsy rabbit hole one morning! There are so many choices! I saw a deck of Magdalene oracle cards that looked absolutely amazing, but I didnāt order them. I decided I needed to wait just a bit. I fest so excited about learning and trying new things that sometimes I choose too many things at once and I am really trying to spend a little more time with meditation and the moon, so Iāve tucked it aside and have just been browsing the Tarot and Oracle Draws and Tending Brighidās Flamenfor now. I usually just scroll and happen to stop on a post and find it connects with me for the day. Itās lovely. When the time is right or I find the right deck, Iāll know!
I know the feeling very well- so many exciting decks! So many fun aspects of magick to explore! Like a kid at the carnival (or a witch at a gem show? Better analogy ) it can be really tempting to want to see and try everything as fast as you can. The good news is that everything will always be there, ready for us to dig into deeper when the moment is right
So mote it be!
Bet, you are absolutely right! My unofficial motto could be āanything worth doing is worth overdoing!ā And when I am on, I am all inā¦ but I want to do this well, so Iām sampling and savoring and really trying to pace myself! I learn so much every day and I am having so much fun!
This!!!
This is the most important thing right here- youāre having fun and loving the journey, and that sounds like winning at witchcraft to me! 
Keep having fun and enjoying your Craft, Kristin! 
So maybe Iām really weird. I have ONE tarot deck and ONE oracle set. The reason is that I am VERY connected to my decks. Itās really interesting because if Iām out and look at other decks I get this feeling inside as if Iām cheating or being disloyal to my cards. Im not sure this is ānormalā but I am very content and confident with my readings, and it is working for me, and I suppose that is what matters.
I wish! I would love to write a witchy book someday- I have a few outlines and possible topics on the backburner, but I just havenāt had the time to sit down and flesh them out! And now I have a fun title to consider too, thanks to you! Maybe someday!
I donāt think this is weird at all, and it sounds like it is working wonderfully for you @BeccaAnn!
Thereās no need to fix what isnāt broken- it sounds like you have build a very strong bond with your tarot and oracle, congrats to you!
I still have just my Crystal Visions deck, Iām pretty happy with it 
Looking into what appeals to me in it, definitely the ethereal, fantasy-like art style with vibrant colors, crisp lines, beautiful women just shining in their powerā¦ 
Iād say the elements for this deck would be ether, water and air in that order. Cute, dreamy, clean and easily flowing.
I also have this Finnish oracle deck created by someone I admire, who defines herself as a shamanistic witch, writes about shadow work and following the cycles of the moon, and teaches her own brand of yoga that involves dark clothes and heavy metal music 
The elements of this deck would be mostly earth and water I think. Thereās a feeling of a dark forest, of dreams and shadows, healing through transformation and ancient medicines of our sweet, wise mother Earth. 
What do the decks tell about me? I like things simple and elegant, with an inner glow. I enjoy peace and serenity, and space to enjoy the beauty around me. Dreams hold a special meaning to me, and I take walks to the dark forest of my subconscious. Ideas and archetypes excite me.
That is exactly what matters! 
So far my tarot decks are (in order since i started my journey):
-Work your light oracle deck
-Rider Waite tarot deck
-Lovers oracle deck, Energy oracle deck, spellcasting oracle deck, oracle of the fairies (purchased them at the same time)
-Moonology oracle cards
-The Macabre tarot
-Mystical journey oracle deck
I cannot be certain but i think the next deck will be the occult tarot. Idk what it is about that deck but i feel so pulled to itā¦
Maybe we should rate themā¦ My personal favourite is The Macabre tarot and most used is the lovers tarot 
Your decks were holding up a mirror to your soul, Celestia- and what a beautiful presence there was reflected back! 
Thank you for taking the time to explore your decks, it sounds like they are a very strong echo for the creative, exciting, and magickal person you are 
Exciting! And from looking at all your decks, I think the Occult tarot may fit in pretty well It looks like you have an exciting balance of dark and light, with touches of fantasy and romance. A very neat collection!
