Late to the discussion, as always. I get the same reaction from people when I tell them I read with only 32 playing cards rather than 52. Like more has to be better. I have several majors-only decks and I do use them. Not often, tbh, and usually for myself. They're well-suited for giving direct answ...

My pleasure, @Thelder . I'm glad you were able to source a copy.

Hear, hear!

@JudyK Thanks much for posting the Autonomic Tarot. I always like being introduced to tarots that I was not aware of. I will definitely need to add this one to my collection. The art reminds me a little of Vladimir Tesar's, whose oracle deck I was lucky enough to find last year. Someone posted pict...

Autonomic Tarot - David Keenan, art by Sophy Hollington

While I'm considering my controversial opinions, at least of the Tarot variety , here's a favourite Devil of mine, from the Winter Waite Revised Edition -

He's upside down!

No positional meanings either. Just the 3 cards as an interpretation of his character/personality, and if relevant, what the overall relationship is like. Would you have any ideas? With no positions to set boundaries, the cards are open to all your ideas and more! (I don't usually use positions, bu...

I just Googled Trusted Tarot's Love Reading, and if it's this one - https://www.trustedtarot.com/love-reading/ - then it's just a Past-Present-Future spread*. If you're reading the three cards as info about a future husband, can we assume you're interpreting each card without any positional meanings...

"Cartes Divinatoires d'Algariel" - Divinatory Cards of Algariel, by Alcide Nathanaël.

I sell “cheap” readings. Not as little as £0.60, but well under the professional going rate. I don’t do it for the money - I just want to read. I’d do it for free (and sometimes still do) but I’m tired of people, the majority sadly, who treat free readings like the peanuts on the bar – “They don't r...

... it kindve seemed to contradict itself unless Im reading it wrong, which was the reason why I included the tarots that I pulled to help me understand how others would interpret it to make sure Ive been reading it right. Okay, just as an example of how it could be interpreted. 😉 My gut reaction i...

My view differs from Charlie Brown's in that I think you do have a technique - The 1st card usually represents the yes or no answer or description of the person while the other cards are more like explanations answer. This is similar to how I would handle an essentially yes/no question. And it's rem...

IT'S HERE! And it does not disappoint.

For anyone curious, here's a side-by-side of a few of the cards. The cardstock is less slick, too. -

I'm not offended - I agree with both of you. Linen finish belongs on playing cards. Full stop.

Hi, all! Am I the only one on a buying jag right now? Come on, fess up! Ummm, you might be. 🙄 That said, I do have one deck coming. An offer I couldn't resist - a German edition Albano-Waite with book (publisher: Moewig), selling for considerably less than £10 including postage. No brainer. The col...

I wouldn't be able to ignore the 8 of Cups that ends the reading. Whether one sees the Lovers and the Star as signalling "soulmates" or as recognising their decision to choose 'purity', the 8 of Cups says it's done.

Why is it not possible to see the real death in the cards? It's as possible as seeing anything else in the cards. The Death card can indicate physical death. It would be a nonsense to say otherwise. But like any possible meaning for any card, it depends on the context and, frankly, the likelihood. ...

Hello @folezacz! I work with Tarot but I'm interested in little decks, too. I like Lenormand but I lean more towards the 'conversational' decks - Kipper, Sibilla, Bohemian, etc.

Thank you so much, @Thelder!

I used to live in Seattle, and I still have family in Vancouver WA, so if it comes to the crunch I can always get it sent to them and get them to send it on to me, making a birthday gift of the (not insubstantial) postage. Done it before.

My almost OTGA was the Tarot of the Origins by Sergio Toppi (Lo Scarabeo). It only came out in 2002 but by the time I knew of its existence it was already OOP and selling for crazy-money. I stalked eBay for a couple of years before one came up at a just barely manageable price. Turned out I internet...

.......... ☝

The way I see it, the general associations linked to Queens and Kings are all fairly shallow, but they're just suggestions for the expression of dualism within each suit. One set of cards represents passive/receptive principles, and the paired set represents active/expressive principles. I could swa...

I love the spread. Your own creation? I certainly agree that the Hanged Man is not suitable candidate for "Prudence". I get the High Priestess/Papessa connection - Latin prudentia : foresight, sagacity. The Hermit gets a mention occasionally. Possible, but I'd sooner go with HP. But the si...
