willowy
I do a Lord of the rings Golem voice,and refer to them as 'My Precious!'
Name your deck?

Maybe when I get older, balder and scrawnier I'll do that (but I'm not holding my breathe for that last one.)

LOL!!!
What's the competition?
Huh... "The White of Tarot" ? Literal translations...
Oh dear - I can feel deck names coming on!!!
Maybe I'll dream some up when my head hits the pillow...

Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus is a strong contender.

...MMmm - that's mighty fine...
(I see it's even available foiled - Oooh). Death reminds me of my father - because he's dead and his tribal totem was the fish eagle.
I'm thinking my 'Barbara G Walker Tarot' deck might be "Sekhmet" ("The Powerful One" - drinking up all the blood of mankind... slurp slurp!!)
And my 'Book of Doors' divination deck "Neteru" - because it depicts the Neteru ("The Gods" in Egyptian).
I might call my 'Tarot of the Night' - "Chandra" ("The Moon")
There's a moon in every card.
And my 'Dame Fortune's Wheel' - "Anahata" - ("The heart Chakra"/"Unstuck" - because I find the colours and images in this deck slow down my nervous system. It's intriguingly calming.
Not quite certain yet what the logic of this is (if any)...:
"Hear the sound of the intangible Universe, the abode of mercy, generosity, transpersonal love, altruism, speech of poetry, psychokinesis and psychic healing. The clearer the heart - the more the hearts desires spontaneously happen". - notes from Richard Walters, ZB practitioner and teacher).
Ahh - I see.
Of course.@ Aeric - Is this so?

Mine all have names given to them by their creators and publishers.
How could you possibly call - say - the Granny Jones Tarot "Claude", or the Hanson-Roberts Tarot "Suzie"?

We had friends with a dog called Cat. He never chased cats - I'm not sure if his name affected that...I know friends who have named their cars and other objects they use often. I have tried but I can never think of names. Sometimes I fear that if I ever had a cat that it would get called "Cat".
I could easily call the Hanson-Roberts Suzie, actually. Of all the names for it, that REALLY suits
But I don't want to give my decks a personality disorder. That said, I'd be with Rodney on the Abomination

I can think of a deck or two I might call "Pollyanna." They have no personality to become disordered. Naming them "Bruce" might give them a backbone - or maybe "Rambo."

Nope I have never named a deck.
But I have named our car, so this made me smile. We have a Mitsubishi, which of course I call "Mitzie" And I also knew someone a while back who had a cat called "Cat".
