I'm so sorry about your grandmother Charlotte 
I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts!
I'm having a rough week myself, so I'm working with the Dreams of Gaia Tarot and the Earthbound Oracle. I feel like the Dreams of Gaia is a gentle deck. Hoping I connect to it better. I seem to want to like it more than I actually do.
As to the unlisted/misc things I'm working with, I'm choosing Rainbow Fluorite as my crystal of the week, the Bonefire as my backup/RWS deck, and the Samhain Lenormand to continue my practice.

I'm so sorry (((CharlotteK))) sending hugs to you and your family.
Ooooh, how to say why you love what you love... I kind of love everything about it. The artwork is rich and beautiful. The images are easy to read at a glance but I'm still finding little details I hadn't noticed with each reading. The imagery ties wonderfully with the card meanings but is still rarely what you would have expected. Equal attention is paid to majors and minors, which is a dealbreaker for me and the "darker" cards have real weight. The backs are gorgeous and I even like the borders, which are kind of a faded out, close up from the image. Most importantly, just looking at it cheers me up, even when it's giving me a well deserved slap. I've resisted buying a lot of lovely animal decks since because I know I found 'the one' on the first shot.
All that said, if I'm really picky, the gamecrafter cardstock isn't my favourite. It's got great weight and flexibility but can warp and the edges of the cards were rough enough that I had to sand and gild them straight away. The Lion in strength looks kinda inbred and there are a whole lot of "animal with a bit of background" cards. These pretty much always work for me anyway because I find the setting, animal and pose chosen plenty evocative but I can totally see how someone else might find them dull. The animal relationship shown in the 6 of pents, while perfect for the card, is now pretty much proven to be a myth. There's also only a wee little PDF leaflet to go with the deck which I'm fine with but a book would have been a huge bonus. On a totally irrelevant note (as you won't have this problem)... don't even ask how much I spent on the #%*#!* shipping!
I think you'd really like it, but I'm biased

Apologies for the late reply! Victorian Fairy Tarot and Tarot of the Hidden Realm again for me. I didn't get to use them at all last week, and I find that they work very well as a pair, whether I use them separately or together.
VG, I would love to know more of your thoughts on the Everyday Witch. Fun and playful sounds wonderful. Did you get over the hats and cats problem? Anything else about the way the deck read or felt to you? And thank you for the new thread!
CharlotteK, I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will keep you in my thoughts!
