I've used the Crowley Thoth Tarot but didn't get on that well with them. I have several decks but the one I use most and I find, for me, are the most accurate are The Tarot of the Cat People. They're also a very pretty deck. The only problem I have with them is when I bring them out and am doing a reading for someone my cats come in and sit on them

Great story, Kit! Are you still reading? Anything interesting coming up these days?

Python, I love how your cats just know. Very cool.

Me, I only read the tarot when I've had a glass or two of wine. And thank you for the reminder, with my GB being so stupid, alcohol is actually rather soothing and I've been having a glass every night. Time to start doing regular readings for me! yay!

oh, yes, and I use the Robin Wood deck. A lot like the Ryder Thwaite, but the people are prettier, and there are three FABULOUS cards: Death, the Devil and the special one to this deck, the Nothing card - totally blank like a zen block.

Namaste,
~T~

I got into reading runes (shake the bag and drop one out, look it up and see what the "message of the day" was, or do a full reading) and haven't done a real tarot reading since last week.

That one (I only read cards upright. I suppose adding the 'reverse' meaning would make it more accurate, but I want to avoid that kind of negativity... =P) I lay past, present, future, with conscious things and Subconscious influences. Past- V of Wands, Present- IV of Cups, Future- the World. Conscious influence- Queen of Swords Subconscious influence-II of Cups

Interesting, huh? I can kinda see it, but don't want to elaborate, really.

xdh had a clay runeset made for him with Thor's hammer pressed into the backs of the runes... (I joked I had Wyrd tattooed on my back. People would ask to see, and I would show them... Some took more explanation than others...)

By the way the pic is from the NOVA tarot by Running Press. I got it form Borders in the US, can also be found at Amazon. The little book that comes with it is not of much value but I just love the imagery.

There's also a miniature version of less than an inch height which I have, it's cute as a talisman (not really workable).

I have Joan Bunning's book, "Learning the Tarot". I like that everything has a postitive spin in her definitions.

I have a couple decks, but stopped using my first deck because I pulled the Hermit 3 or 4 times in a row (my aunt and I were playing with tarot in the other room) the very moments my dad died. Too weird for me. Then I bought a Waite deck. I think it's sad that the dike who actually drew the Waite deck gets no credit for her work. Well, she gets credit, but the deck isn't named after her.

Like Kit, I only read "upright".

If someone drew an entire deck that was biking, I'd be all over it.

Haven't done any card-play in a long time. Maybe I should pull a card o' the day for today. (kinda like Dove chocolate fortunes)

Six of Wands. "Triumph, acclaim, pride."

I prefer Dove chocolate fortunes think I'll pull one:
