Nice idea! The Mount Olympus of tarot
Any thunderbolts? I don't have either deck, but I did look at the Sol Invictus before.

Fun idea. I do think though that it's much more interesting to use two completely different decks together. Like, for instance, the Wild Unknown and the Dreaming Way. Different perspectives and voices in one reading.

Could be, but what I'm doing is comparing two different sides of the same issue (for example, Person A and Person B in a love relationship and what each brings to the table in various areas of interaction). I want two decks that will engage fairly seamlessly, but I don't want to buy two copies of the same deck (which would be the most obvious way to get there). So I'm looking for pairs that "talk" to one another without me having to make too big an interpretive leap to correlate the meanings.

Thanks! Of this list, the Sweet Twilight is the one that grabs me most. I almost bought it for my daughter - the (lavishly) "tatooed lady" - before but got her Pagan Cats instead. The Ceccoli is a little too "girly" for me (although I can almost see hints of Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice in some of the cards.) I've been hot-and-cold about Steampunk (any version) and I had the Ghosts and Spirits once but sent it back unopened. I find the Housewives Tarot disturbing; I lived through the 1950s

The Sweet Twilight is on my wish list, I just hope I don't hate it when I finally see it in real life. It seems to be a habit of mine.
The Ceccoli one looks girly but is also very dark and twisty.
The Housewives one is very funny. Ooh, I wonder how the Happy Tarot and the Halloween Tarot would read side by side? The Halloween Tarot is such a joyous deck and the Happy Tarot says it all in the name. I can't wait for this deck to be released.
How about the Golden Visconti Sforza and the Kat Black Golden Tarot?

Okay, not exactly a response to your question but I've been drooling over the Liber T deck since you mentioned it in your first post. The online pics are so evocative. Enable me, please! It looks gorgeous.

It's kind of strange but i made a splice deck w/ Navigators and New Century. I didn't want the white borders on nav, or the purple ones on N. Cent, and by the time i trimmed both they were essentially the same size. It's almost like a mini deck w/out those borders. This also worked well because i like the new cent majors and the nav. minors.
I like using the Bonefire with a black and white pip deck called, tarot des filles. The bonefire can quickly overwhelm me w/ all the colors, but i've found the two together a nice mix.
I use Kat's Golden w/ the Grail. They're almost exactly the same size, and their art styles blend nicely.
