I collect tarot cards, and other things.

[1st-1]

I keep the decks I most feel like using on my dresser, 2 shelves of my bookcases devoted to tarot cards and a chest with pretty engravings on it where I keep tarots I don't feel like displaying.

THE STRUGGLE

[thecardroom]

Dark, gory, diseased. There is no mercy in the Wormweird tarot and no sign of life, save the occasional crow but it's probably stuffed. Those with an inclination towards black humor might experience a dark, knowing glee of a sort while using this ruthless deck if they can manage to shuffle the huge, overly laminated cards that stick together mockingly.

Deck of the Bastard: a Tarot by Seven. Honestly people really rave about this deck and I felt a little let down when it came (the images aren't as crisp as I like and had a clip art vibe to me.) It is growing on me, though.

Not sure what I thought I was getting when I ordered these. The Adrian Tarot: published in 1997, but has an 80s feel to me.

Just received: Dragon Age Inquisition Tarot, a 78 card tarot based on a video game. The last time I played a video game was in an arcade sometime in the 90s, but I'd be willing to give this one a try based on this enchanting art. The cards don't seem to correlate for the most part with any of the usual established tarot symbolism and I didn't receive any guide or LWB to go with this but they feel good in the hand and inviting to read with anyhow.

A Wicked Pack of Cards: I love the artwork for this tarot deck by Sasha Laskowsky-Ziguilinsky; they are dark without approaching corniness, and incredibly expressive for the minimal amount of detail. The cards are somewhat longish and a struggle for my short fingers to shuffle, but I don’t care - I just love looking at them! I am a little bitter that I only own a 43-card version from before he completed the minors and I plan on buying the finished 80-card deck in the future, so if you visit his Etsy store (NEOPREN) make sure you save me a copy! His minors look somewhat more bare than the rest of the deck, but still in the same crisp, refreshing style. From my cursory glance at the artist’s Facebook and Tumblr pages it looks like he is going in a more John Lurie meets Stick-and-Poke direction for now so maybe he will come out with a tarot in a totally different style in the future.

My deck didn’t come in a box so I keep them in this bag by MamaBatsCreations.

The Spiritual Tarot by Akira Uno, another majors-only deck I bought after giving up on the artist ever producing a full 78 cards. I love their style and wish I knew more about the artist.

[thecardroom]

I rarely buy majors-only decks, but I made an exception for the lovely Tarocchi Romantici by Giorgio Trevisan.

My cat Ozymandias hijacked my cards I was shuffling and pulled the Strength card out, then just looked at it for a while.
