r/TarotDecks

My mother passed away and she was a vibrant soul with a passion for Tarot, and as you can see, has amassed a large and varied collection over her long years.

I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to tarot and so I am unsure of the rarity or whether her collection is considered remarkable, but I know this:

tarot as art brought her immense joy and I wanted to share her joy with you all.

Please, share with me any wisdom or stories about anything that you see so I can learn. I am grateful to have found this community.

Hey all! It’s been some weeks I haven’t posted but here it is, Wands are done!! Still working on the nexts ones so more updates coming soon!

I wanted to share this beautiful deck! This is The Blue Tarot by the Ukrainian creator known mononymously as Kateryna. The deck was launched through a Kickstarter campaign late last year, but is now more widely available through the creator's website. The deck features blue-toned watercolor art with gorgeous silver accents on each card. The silver accents are slightly raised but don't interfere with handling, and with the cards' rose-petal finish, this makes for a great tactile experience. During the Kickstarter, Kateryna said many of the images in the deck were inspired by everyday life in Ukraine and represent her love for her country.

I saw this deck on the border of a YT video and am not familiar with the deck. I am wondering if anyone recognizes this deck? I apologize I couldn’t find a more extensive picture of the cards. Thanks in advance for your help!

Bought through the kickstarter several years ago.

The Kickstarter did phenomenally well and then the poor artist had a nightmare with the fulfillment. It took a long time for the decks to actually come.

But it was worth the wait.

The rainbow foil is hard to capture in photos. But it makes the cards really stunning in person.

I bought the Soul Seeker Tarot a few days ago. I absolutely love the illustrations; they have this heavy but oneiric quality to them at the same time. However, the quality of the cards themselves is so bad. I was shocked at how flimsy they were. I'm even considering whether I'll be able to use them for readings because of the way I mix the cards. Wasn't Lo Scarabeo famous for the excellence of their decks? Are other people experiencing this with their new Lo Scarabeo decks, or is it just this one?

My goodness does this deck feel special! The creator just added a linen card option (you get to choose between the original or linen) and the Kickstarter has done so well that it’s been hitting so many stretch goals which means freebies :) my dream is for it hit $370K so I get the beautiful box for my linen deck.

Sharing so no one else misses out on this beauty. There are 200 cards in the deck….wow!

Hi Tarot/Oracle Reddit Fam,

I have a little collecting problem when it comes to decks and I’ve amassed a lot of them. I need to reorganize them and lessen my stash. I love them but every time I move it’s brutal (they are heavy) and they take up so much space.

I’m going to categorize them and try to pair them down a bit but has anyone else had this issue and how did you do it? I’m honestly overwhelmed.

P.S. Should I just keep them?

Settling into perfection can quickly become stuck in a rut.

Nature changes. What resists change calcifies

You and the world you live in only exist due to anomalous asymmetry, a divergence from the perfect balance between matter and anti-matter.

Your next adventure sits at the door of the imperfection you allow through questioning your assumptions, experimenting with new modes and environments, and allowing things to get messy.

PS: Much appreciation to those who are posting and promoting the deck when they get it. I love seeing it in your hands and hearing how much value it brings!

I got a bit of a wild hair and decided to dip a toe into the Minchiate tradition. The artist used such vivid watercolors, which are what originally drew me to the deck. I’m really enjoying learning from the online guidebook. Happened to pull the Magician as my first card and was just tickled so I thought I’d share. Looking forward to learning more!

Does anybody knows similar looking decks to The IONA Tarot by Giona Fiochi or other pics? I'm looking for this kind of vibes with line details but I'm starting to think I'm getting blinder with each search...

I ran across this one somewhere but don’t remember getting the name.

I had a load of waffle and misery trying to make it available, because my original printer had increased their minimum order to 50, and I've never ordered more than 25 of any of my own decks, so I was really stuck, I felt like I'd never afford to make it available, or like I would have to just give up on making decks, which would have been awful. I make at least one deck a year, and the thought of not doing that- And worse, of not being able to share the finished decks with my friends, which is the whole point for me, was really weighing on me. I made a compromise of selling them in plain boxes, but with a Little White Book, to keep the prices low (and, you can get the Big White Tome which is much more in-depth for free by asking me for it!).

So, this is Monument 1, which is a sort of hybrid of a bunch of the decks that you read as a Große Tafel//Grand Tableau, but with my own structure to it. It's a 48 card deck that can be read either with all 48 cards, or 32, or 36 to do different things. I have been really happy with the colour scheme (the colours of the cards correspond to whether a card is light or dark, or waxing or waning - So the four suits are "light and waxing" "Light and waning", "Dark and waxing" and "Dark And waning" corresponding to the four quarters of the year where you either have more light than dark or dark than light, and it's either getting lighter every day or darker every day.

I'm on Instagram as NonsenseHermit where you can follow me making my next deck for this year, and this deck (and the others) are for sale on https://Makeplayingcards.com/sell/goosegomancy

What's your favorite tarot deck to take with you on the go? The one you always keep close? 😊

I tend to switch between decks all the time.

Today I spent some time reading with three of them:

Tarot Landscapes by Francesca Matteoni

Zodiac Tarot by Cecilia Lattari

Wicked Moon Tarot by Giorgia Farano

I still can't decide which one should become my main travel deck... and that's saying something, because I have quite a collection at home. 😅

I absolutely love Tarot Landscapes - the artwork and atmosphere are incredible. But I'm still not an experienced tarot reader, so I feel more comfortable with a deck that stays closer to the classic Rider-Waite archetypes.

For now, I think Wicked Moon Tarot will be my travel companion. I've worked with Zodiac Tarot a lot already, and I feel like I need something fresh.

I'm still searching for the perfect deck, so I'd love your recommendations. Which tarot deck is your favorite travel companion, and why? ✨
