For years I really liked the Osho Zen Transcendental cards; it really resonated with me, the artwork, the Zen,
I also really liked that you didn't read them in reversals and for the most part all the cards are positive or uplifting,
but now I'm looking for one perhaps a little more esoteric, more great artwork, and just as uplifting.
Any Ideas?

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 7:22 PMDon't have a favourite, but I have different decks for different reasons and different people. I have about 7 decks now and I use all of them fairly equally for different purposes. Yes I do have Osho Zen that is helpful. -

Sat, May 3, 2008 - 9:27 PMi like the daughters of the moon tarot deck. the art is amazing and the cards are round, the deck is just beaming with magical energy. my friend is in the process of making a deck, the majors are complete and the rest of the deck is almost done. i love it because i know alot of the people on the cards, and it has all native plants and animals from this bioregion (cascadia). you can check out the deck in progress at www.gaiantarot.com -

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 11:27 PMi just checked, and the six of cups is a circle of some of my closest women i have spent many new moons with. www.gaiantarot.com/minors/s...tml#water
joanna painted it from a photograph that was taken during a summer solstice circle right at the beach down from my house. i was invited to the circle but went to mt baker instead, i was so close to being on this card......that is too awesome :) -

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 10:41 AMHas anyone seen the Golden Tarot of Klimt deck, it is really beautiful.
It is comprised of Gustav Klimt's paintings with this golden embossed shimmer in it.
I have only ever seen the deck, never used it personally but it looks intriguing.

Fri, May 16, 2008 - 10:44 PMI have been using this deck for a while now about a year or so. Yes the cards are very beautiful and if you like many others, have started your foray into tarot with the Rider Wait Deck, this makes for pleasant use :-)

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 8:26 PMThoth - it speaks to me. Sometimes it has to shout because I am a little stubborn. :)
The deck is rich in symbolism, color and geometry.

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 7:16 AMMine is the Haindl deck. It's very eclectic, so it isn't right for everyone, but I love the detailed imagery.
www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/haindl/
This deck really allows me to get lost in the cards. The images are so in depth that at times I find accuracy from letting the hidden ideas in the card surface- if I'm unsure or unclear, the cards themselves really lend to deeper interpretation simply by the cues left in the artwork. -
-
Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 8:24 AMI like Haindl too and for nearly identical reasons.
I have a modest collection, but Haindl is what I read for traditional decks. I use any of a number of other decks if I'm going to read non-traditional decks. But Haindl is what I read most.

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 7:27 PMI am of the Virgo persuasion and love Crowley's Thoth deck. It is just dark enough for me to find the right amount of light. When folks come to me looking for resolutions and or solutions this deck always assists in getting down to the real issue at hand. Many times it seems as if the deck is giving "weird" information but usually he person's subconscious is exposed. Isn't that what we look to Tarot to do for us, expose us so we can make better decisions? The plethora of esoteric symbols in each card is overwhelming at times. The amount of information the deck can offer is unnerving.
When I am dealing with folks who don't trust or like Crowley for any number of reasons, I use either the Egyptian Tarot or the Rider Waite.
I like this thread.
Peace. Love and Light,
Day

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 7:09 PMOMG I so LOVE the Osho Zen cards! Not only that but I really dig OSHO in general...he has written some extraordinary books and the way he writes makes soooo much sense!
I also really like the Robin Wood deck which was my first deck and will never get rid of it!

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 8:12 PMAs a professional tarot reader, I have so many decks, I don't know if I could shake a stick at them all! Quest, Osho Zen, Universal, an Egyptian one, two dragon ones, not to count all of the oracle decks like the Fairy Ring and Froud's Faerie Oracle, as well as a few druidic-type oracle decks too - AUGH! However, the deck I continue to go back to time and time again: Sacred Circle Tarot. I like the pre-Christian feel of it, love the artwork, and it totally speaks to me! Recently, I picked up the Druid Tarot (I like Will Worthington's art and style very much) and I find I really resonate with this deck too. As a side note, I really like the Sacred Geometry Oracle by John Michael Greer - that deck gives me awesome answers, even if you are "too close" to the question - it leaves no wiggle room in my experience - I only use it if something is really important though, to keep the intensity there :-)

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Fri, May 16, 2008 - 8:02 PMI have over 22 decks...my favorite for reading is the Morgan Greer...they are worn out and I could really use a new deck. But I refuse to replace them.
I have the Salvador Dali deck...Aquarian, Goddess, Japanese, Swiss, French, Rider, Connolly,. Witches, Robin Wood, Vision Quest...to name a few.
I do want to get the Osho Zen deck...and a few others... -

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Sun, May 18, 2008 - 11:37 PMMy favorite is the Inner Child Cards by Isha Lerner & Nark Lerner. www.ishalerner.com/ .
I like that you don't read them in reversal and they speak to the One Heart .
If you are looking for something more esoteric, I highly recomend the book, Meditations on the Tarot. www.amazon.com/Meditation.../1852302224
It is an amazing book and delves into the deep acranum of the Tarot. A masterful work which utilises the Major Arcana of the Tarot as tools to enter spiritual dimensions. It is a through analysis by a learned Catholic Priest (?) and Tarot Master. ( Anonymous) The vatican has an amazing esoteric library that I would love to have access to. I sent it to my Wiccan friends back East and they loved it. -

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Mon, May 19, 2008 - 9:44 AMWell, I've got the Thoth. I think the Rider-Waite is an essential though I don't have one currently, the artwork is not so great, that is whay I made my own up. I once say one with beautiful cat artwork, the Daughters of the Moon sounds like a goodie. I have the book, but not the cards, of the Motherpeace, but I felt that the writers do not challenge certain things enough or in the right way. -

Re: What's your favorite Tarot Deck?
Mon, May 19, 2008 - 1:27 PMMy favourite is the Cosmic Tarot deck. Coz it really is cosmic. I like the faces in it. I used to have the Thoth.
