I just got the Aorathian deck and it’s even more awesome irl.

Decided to go ahead and grab Uusi’s Solis Occasum Lux Brumalis and I think I love it! I wasn’t expecting to because it’s not TdM, but the pips are so perfect! It’s a brilliant deck.

UPDATE:

This is why I love you guys, thank you all so much! I found almost all your recommendations online and I’m BEYOND grateful!

Here’s my library so far. What am I missing? I have DuQuette’s book about Thoth & a couple other Pitisci books on Kindle. I’m mainly interested in TdM, but I also love tarot history, art, and reading methodology in general. If you have any great book recs, I really appreciate your sharing!

By Michael Geopferd and Brian Williams. A very interesting variation of the Major Arcana. The pips are cool too, but the cards are huge so I didn’t have room for the whole deck.

It’s so amazing! I have the 2nd ed. so I knew I’d love the art, but I didn’t realize how fantastic this smaller size would be. Not too small that the art is lost, but small enough to easily shuffle and carry. Matronua is, hands down, my favorite deck in existence and this pocket deck is perfect.

I already knew I would be in love with the art because I have Valentina‘s 2nd edition which, of course, is breathtaking.

What I didn’t know was how surprisingly shufflable this pocket edition is; so cool. It’s the same art paper style of card stock she uses for the standard sized decks, but it’s flexible. I’m extra impressed.

I did a major purge and gifted a bunch of decks to other people; this is what’s left of my tarot/oracle/lenormand collection. Trying NOT to shop for anymore for a while, but collectors gotta collect, lol.

Of all the decks in the photo, my absolute favorite is the Matronua Tarocchi Italiani. There are a few decks pictured without titles on the front and those are: Cerulean (the blue box top left) by James Eads, just below that, in the brownish box, is Green Glyphs Runes, and then over to the right a bit, top row, is a black box and that’s True Black Tarot from Andrew Wang.

ETA: the flowery box is Metanoia Marseille from Bouchette Designs

Top L - R

• Matenoia from Bouchette Designs
• Madenié from Yves Reynaud (who is such a nice guy, by the way!)
• Vachier also from Yves Reynaud
• Matronua (my very favorite) from Valentina de Luca, one of the kindest people ever.

Bottom L - R

• Conver from Artisan Tarot
• Ancient Italian from Lo Scarobeo
• CBD, of course 🙂 from U.S. Games, thanks YBD
• Othrysian from Artisan Tarot
• Noblet also from Artisan

The Matronua pocket edition is on its way and I couldn’t be more stoked. What are your favorite TDMs? And where do you guys find them?

Dude has 2 dog beds, my bed, guest room bed, and 2 couches to choose from.

Yet he picks the cold hard floor, snuggled up with the cold hard wall. Where is your Golden’s favorite nap spot?

I was accused, by a civilian woman I’ve never met before, of stolen valor.

Her reason was because I have a USMC tattoo on my arm, but I “don’t look like a Marine”. A complete stranger literally took the time and energy to walk across a parking lot to me to tell me this.

So I guess my question is: what does a Marine look like?

Pic added to prove that I do, in fact, look like a Marine and wanted to show off my cute puppy who had to witness the interaction, poor guy.

How cool for him to come out with a numerology deck; I love it so far! The guidebook is an awesome mess, it’s great. Anyone else have the Cerulean Oracle?

Finally got my first Minchiate deck (and first deck from Il Meneghello); it’s gorgeous!!
I’ll be holed up at home all weekend learning how to use it lol

Very interesting concept, incredible artwork, and really well executed guidebook! I think this deck works great in spreads or line readings on its own and could be a great addition or clarification as part of a tarot spread.

I’m not sure if I used the right flair for this. Or if this is even okay to share here, please delete if not! Sorry ahead of time, I never know what I’m doing on reddit.

I just thought this was so interesting and wondered if you guys would be interested, too: Harvard is offering a free course, via edX, called “Omens, Oracles, and Prophecies”.

It’s taught by Harvard astrophysicist, Alyssa Goodman, along with practitioners and Harvard faculty.

I signed up and it’s pretty interesting so far! All sorts of divination methods are discussed.
Totally free, unless you want a certificate (which is $99), and self-paced, online.

Hope this was okay to share here and I hope everyone’s having a great day

Codex by Daniel Martin Diaz is back in stock!

Sadly, I don’t speak Italian - I will learn! - so I figured I was probably missing something when I saw the title of this deck.

I thought I better reach out to the seller to be sure about what I was getting.

lol it was so kind and patient of the seller to explain to me in English. I got a kick out of it and thought you guys might, too. 🙃
