It's been three whole months since a deck graced my own front porch. All of my budget is going toward pre-orders, and I still have two more to go... I probably won't be able to get a new deck until August. Sasuraibito, please wait for me but no desire for any more tarot decks. Sated on the playing card front now too. There is a lenormand I might treat myself to next time I have some bonus money but otherwise I feel comfortably done.Luxa, the Victorian Fairy Tarot is my favorite deck. It was also my first deck, and the one that called to me after I spent two hours going through decks and trying to choose. It is a beautiful deck; the man who illustrated it, whose name is escaping me right now, is also a children's book illustrator, and he has the right feel for Victorian detail - all those tiny details on clothing and in rooms and surroundings that said so much about social status, economics, level of education, etc. The artwork is just gorgeous. And I have found that the deck, while beautiful and comforting and warm, also does not hesitate to give you a wake-up call when you need one, to play with your perception of things a little bit (as fairies who take the left-hand way often will!), or to be sharply humorous. In other words, it has an edge that can take you by surprise, much like fairies do.
Go you!
That being said, the DOTW threads have been helpful in satisfying that new deck itch!
So I can get it to me quick and at a reasonable price. Does anyone know of any tropical decks? Like very tropical with lots of jungle-type plants, colorful flowers, maybe even a pineapple or a flamingo?
Something preferably from Amazon
) "Zen Lenormand" is full of jungle plants. It has an asian jungle vibe, to me.
