Tarotist, Neopagans, Occultist: Do you have a favorite Tarot design?

Question

I’ve been using the The Witches Tarot (E.C. Reed & M. Cannon) for years and have been pretty happy with it except for the court cards. Recently however I was given The Tarot of Dreams by Ciro Marchetti. All I can say is, “WOW! It’s a really beautiful deck and very easy to read.”

So what’s been working for you?

By the by, If you think the tarot is evil or stupid please fell free to not share your ignorance here. Thank you.

Answer 1

I collect tarot decks... (Never got my head around your 'witches' deck though.. like the swords and wands seem mixed up somehow).

Haindl's deck isn't pretty, but reads very honestly for me. I'd say the most beautiful deck I have is the Arthurian deck... there's as few different ones around, but the one I have, the back of the card is purple with a maze on it. The artwork is absolutely beautiful.

If you're looking for inspiration or opinions on tarot decks, you could go to http://www.wicce.com/ The site has been there for ages and has A LOT of information, including pictures from each deck.....

Answer 2

I've been wanting to get the Spiral Tarot deck. I really like the designs on it. I've got the Lover's tarot, but the minor arcana is really boring in that deck.

Answer 3

I have three tarot decks, and out of all of them, my Goddess deck by Kris Waldherr has been the best I have worked with.

However, it's not the prettiest. That title goes to The Victorian Romantic Tarot by Karen Mahony and Alex Ukolov, of which I have yet to purchase.

Answer 4

I really like my Zen deck. It is beautifully illustrated and has enlightenment from Buddhism related to every card. The proper name is OSHO Zen Tarot. Very easy to use, both for others and myself. Usually, though, when I read for others I generally stick with my Crowley deck, as it seems geared to only speak to others, and not myself. I use my Zen deck mostly for myself, rarely do I use it for others. Enlightenment lies within, no matter what deck you are using, so long as you use it in the proper ways, and be sure to instill them with Loving Light.
Good luck with your new deck; may God,dess speak to you through it's imagery, and lead you to new understanding of yourself and the situations around you.
OH! I almost forgot! I have the Angels Oracle deck by Doreen Virtue as well. Beautiful deck, and you can feel the angelic presence as soon as you take your first look!
Brightest Blessings to you!

I like the one i bought at the comic store. Its a Star Wars design. I no i no i sounds neardy but i cant help it they looks soo coool. Yoda is the hermit, Darth maul the devil, general grievous is death, jar jar is the fool and alot more.

Trust me some serous people even thinks science is devil art. lol ps i m sorry if i offended anny one.

Answer 6

I am an Occultist, I do not use tarot cards and do not have a favorite design. I use candles as a divination tool.

Answer 7

I tried the "classic" Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and couldn't make heads or tails of it. My favorite, by far, is the "World Spirit" deck, because the symbolism of each card is much easier for me to understand.

Answer 8

i own the unicorn tatot deck and i like it very much. it includes a book that has a story plus it explains how to use them very clearly. i think it's a great deck but i haven't found them anywhere else. i've had mine for about 5 years now.

Answer 9

I have the Pagan tarot and I love it.
