[Rose Lalonde]

Victorian Romantic Tarot (2nd) and I Misteri della Sibilla. Thanks, Elendil.

 

[BodhiSeed]

I'm in with the Osho Zen Tarot paired with the A'HA Oracle. Thanks E.

Rose Lalonde, the I Misteri della Sibilla is one of the most beautiful sibilla decks available in my opinion - hope you enjoy working with it this week!

 

[GoldenWolf]

I'll do a second week with the Roots of Asia tarot and use the Bonefire Tarot app. Thanks!

 

[AJ]

mythic please

 

[NadaJ]

I'll keep working with the Ellis deck this week.

 

[VGimlet]

Hard to believe it's August coming up! Sticking with the Buckland Romani this week. I am enjoying it so far, and glad I got it before it became crazy expensive, and/or reprinted on poor quality paper...

Was hoping I'd get one of the other decks I'm expecting in the mail today, but not yet...ah well..

 

[The Happy Squirrel]

The Ellis and Gorgon decks for me this week please Thank you

 

[swedishfish612]

Please put me down for Kat Black's Golden and Froud's Faeries oracle. (Odd combo, but it feels like it fits somehow.)

I'm excited to work with the Golden this week. Laying out the cards, suit by suit and then just the majors, the artwork stuns me with its beauty. It affects me in an odd way...some cards are my absolute favorites, in just about any deck. There are cards in this deck that really stun me with how much they appeal to me. And then there are some that almost repel me. It's a weird push-pull dynamic. Part of me loves it, part of me wants to pull away from it. I wonder if my Catholic upbringing isn't at the root of that conflict?

This deck is an oddity in that I can't remember how I bought it, or why, or when. I recently made a database of all of my decks, including when/where I acquired them, and this is the only deck that is a mystery for me. I think I ordered it after I got the Touchstone, but I can't be sure. I think I've had it for a about a year.

When I pulled it out last night, I had this urge to use one of my favorite scarves as a spreadcloth. It's a deep, garnet red, with some rust and orange in it as well. They look amazing laid out on my scarf. I hope this deck ends up being a readable one for me. It feels different from my other decks. Most of my decks feel more "friendly" in nature, but this one feels formal and elegant. But there's a sense of magic about it that pulls me in. Magic and mystery.

It will be an interesting week, seeing how we get on.
