hey I wanted to know what type of deck's everyone has and what they and what is it that is special about them or can they do a better readings in certain areas. Or what type of deck do you want.
I am looking around stores to see if I see the two decks I want. Which are Archeon and Mystic Dreamer.
well, i currently have fourteen decks and i find that each of them has their own unique feel and call out to me for different things themselves. while i feel confortable using them for any general reading or situation i find that many of them are good for specific things and energies.
the rider-waite deck is a very good deck for most generl things and is very easy to work with and get used to using. most of the symbolism on the cards are basic and easy to understand.
sharman-casselli cards have the same basic symbolism as the rider-waite cards but the pictures gointo more detail and the coloring schemes are more defined. i find them to be very good cards to use while dealing with emotional issues as the colors and images do very well for expressing them.
the viking tarot is very good for channeling raw energy and primal things. the colors on these cards are mild and yet do not t
osho zen tarot is a very untraditional set of cards that i would not suggest for someone who is either unfamilliar with tarot and the structure of a tarot deck or unfamilliar with zen buddhist teachings. the cards are extremely good for readings that have a very thought provoking and really deep natures
the motherpeace round tarot is a good deck for expressing femininity in various situations. i find that the best aspect to these cards are that they are actually circular in shape and therefore give more dimentions to reading them than the reversed or right-side up perspectives.
the princess tarot has somewhat confusing symbology, but is a very good dek for readings that tell a story. the colors and images on these cards are very vibrant and are true to the princessed that are portrayed on them
the mystic dreamer deck is a good basic deck that puts a bit of a fantasy or dream like perspective to the cards. their symbolism isnt too dificult to read while keeping a good originality to the art
egyptian tarot is an extremely difficult deck to read as it doesnt have images that use symbolism, rather for the most part the minor arcana cards resemble that of playing cards and have only the suit symbols on them. i would not reccomend them for deep readings or for beginners
medicine woman tarot is a very good deck for presenting new ideas as well as guiding through spiritual issues. i like to refer to the deck as my "hippie" deck. and i enjoy the mild nature of them, and yet the fact that ideas are still strong
tarot of the pirates has very vivid colors ad well as imagery. it is a deck of strong fortitude and a very stubborn deck with it's messages. earth messages are very subdued with this deck as well as massages of stabitity. it is a good deck for readings reguarding change and tough situations
magick domination is a tarot deck that also doubles as a playing card game. the cards have different peices of art on them, many of them even being classical works. they do not have the usualy symbolism on them or the strong precence of the suit symbles or elements associated with them, but are a fun deck to work with and have a very whimsical nature.
tarot of the thousand and one nights are a good deck for dealing with pasts and emotiona trouble. blues and greens have a strong influence int he art on these cards, but the images are beautiful.
forest folklore tarot has vibrant colors and images of fairies on the cards. the cards strongly suggest nature and seep seated issues in readings. i feel a great deal of closeness with these cards
goddess tarot is another feminine deck that connects with goddess figures on many different levels. i find it's good for general readings as well as ones that need a deal of clarity. while these cards are not traditional cards i feel that they are easy to understand and connect with.
I have never understood tarot cards. They have nothing to do with my "path" of witchcraft,which is an ancient craft. The "old ones" never had tarot cards;they only came into use after the invention of printing, although I do believe the first cards were hand-drawn!
while they may not have used cards they still had many forms of divination, omens, entrail reading, runes, etc. perhaps you should stop knocking things that people do differently from you and your path.
Then go learn about them a little. If you still don't understand then oh well and move on to set your mind around something you do understand. If you do happen to understand, then okay, you understand and maybe you will see why some people use them. But your words do sound a little like your bashing tarot cards. Or maybe I just have a bee in my ear....If I do, sorry about that.
at the age of 76 Brysing you should think about your own self !
still are you much capable to learn & understand ''new or old'' learning stuffs such as psi balls,tarot cards,vampire-ism,palmistry & ready to go !
