There is a Nightmare Before Christmas deck. It is fairly rare and usually goes for good money on Ebay.
I would LOVE the Pinup Girl Tarot!!!! (Bettie Page is the BOMB!!)
How about a tarot of modern history?
Inventions Tarot?
Dr. Seuss Tarot!!! (the book that goes with it would be sweet!!!)

I'd like tarots by Ralph Steadman and Robert Crumb. :D
Bob :THERM
Nightmare before Christmas! How cool is that!
Robert Crumb...is that the '70's "Keep on Truckin'" artist? I love him.

Since there is "The Goddess" deck that features different Goddesses as the majors, I would really really like to see a "God" deck that features different Gods as the majors! Such as Pan as the fool and Odin as the Emporer...that would be so cool!

I'm still partial to the Harry Potter idea. The deck that you might get at Diagon Alley for use in Divination class, not one that has Harry and the gang on it. Sigh Too bad I never got accepted to Hogwarts......

All good ideas...peace pixie!
I know there are several dog lover's decks out there (at least one by Menegazzi!) but they are becomming harder to find...
And I still don't know if the Nightmare Before Christmas deck (the Disney/ holiday haunted mansion promo) is actually a full deck or not...no one seems to have a real answer for me.
I heard a rumor that there was an Emily Strange Oracle deck (and magic 8 ball) in production...but I have not heard anything in a while.
And yeah...I would pay really good money for a Bettie Page tarot(especially if done by Olivia!)
Sigh...

I´d love to see Tarot decks, even only with Majors about:
Akira (Anime)
Spirited Away (More anime)
Shrek (That would be funny, isn't it?)
The Muppets
Tin Tin (lots of adventures, must not be difficult to gather a 78 card deck)

I definitely agree! On the Goddess front, there's already at least the:
· Goddess Oracle (Amy Sophia Marashinsky, Hrana Janto)
· Goddess Tarot (Kris Waldherr)
· Oracle of the Goddess (Amy Zerner, Monte Farber)
· Oracle of the Goddess (Anna Franklin, Paul Mason)
· Triple Goddess Tarot (Isha Lerner, Mara Friedman)
I've probably missed out quite a few less common Goddess decks, and there's still not a single God deck in sight :( :( :(
Personally, I'd really like it if a publisher came out with a God deck that could be used in conjunction with one of the existing Goddess decks (same cardstock, layout, style, and card back). That way you could either focus on one aspect of the Divine, or both at once.

Osvaldo Menegazzi's I Cani del Mondo is available at http://www.alidastore.com and http://www.tarotgarden.com.
Cardole Sedillot and Claude Trapet's Tarot du Chien is available at http://www.chapitre.com. Chapitre is an online bookstore based in France that specializes in rare books; they're definitely worth knowing about if you're in Europe.
Both the decks are quite pricey though :(

Though I suspect the geek tarot market is quite small. :( When it grows big enough to attract publishers' attention, though, I'd also like to see a UserFriendly deck ;)
The completion of The American Gothic Tarot, based on a telly series of the same name from some years ago.

I agree with the idea of a God tarot - that is really missing !
And I would like a LOTR deck with pictures from the movie, I know there is another LOTR deck but it would be so cool to have one based directly on the movie.

I totally agree, hedgecub!! That would be such an amazing deck... to have the choice of either or both aspects... LUV IT!

OOH, mg, where is this deck? Of course most of the time I'm sure one would have to keep it muzzled . . . Can't you just hear all those court characters shouting at one another--not exactly an under-the-pillow kind of deck :joke:

Am thinking and inking on Jane Eyre.

At one point, I had plans for a Terry Gilliam's animation tarot. I did one card. Though later I realized that the giant foot would be better for XIII! :D
just wonderin'...
what a deck by Steven King would look like!?!
maybe a "Dark Shadows" deck?
Kate Greenaway Tarot
Aubrey Beardsley Tarot
and Mary Poppins Tarot! (...okay, i'm Anglophile, admittedly...)
I would love to see a Discworld Tarot.
Granny Weatherwax as the High Priestess.
Carrot would be the Fool.
Nanny Ogg as Temperance.
Death as Himself.
Let's see... the Librarian as the Hermit, and maybe Agnes/Perdita as the Star. Angua on the Moon card. The Great A'tuin is the World.
Samual Vimes and his wife as the Emperor and Empress. Lord Vetinari as the Devil.
And I'd love to see a tarot based on the old Dark Shadows show.
I would love to see a Pern tarot - based on the books by Anne Mccaffrey.
Maybe a Crow tarot - dark and seductive like the films. :)

It would make a very nice tarot.

Yes, great idea...The Dragonriders Tarot
Ever read the Ged trilogy by Patricia McKillip, would make a dark, sorceror's tarot....
Hi all,
I would like to see a Star Gate SG1 Tarot deck and I second the suggestion for a Red Dwarf Tarot!

The Nightmare before Christmas Tarot is a 26 card deck. They were only available at Disneyland (not Disneyworld) on October 3rd 2001 for the special event at the haunted mansion and there were only 800 decks produced. Don't know why 26..I can't figure that one out.:confused: It doesn't really matter though...I wouldn't read with a deck that was that collectible anyway! Maybe someone should make a full 78 card deck for those of us who actually do want to read with it!!
I really like the Gods deck. There could be a Norse Gods or Ancient Gods, etc. A Hogwartz deck sounds great, too.

definatly a CROW deck how could i forget the movie kicks!
I can't believe no one besides me thought of a smurf deck! You know...SMURFS!!! The little happy blue guys and thier song..La, Laaa, La-la, la, la..Laa, La-La, La, La....I love the smurfs!!! Gargamel could be the devil, Baby Smurf could be the fool, Papa Smurf and Smurfette could be the Emperor and the Empress respectively, The handyman Smurf as the Three of Pents...you get the idea...
laura_borealis
11-06-2004, 21:21
But isn't there only one lady smurf? Would Smurfette just be all the female cards?

Um... I think mostly not being able to find enough images. If I had a book of his stuff with high-quality and scannable pictures it would help. (Also there's the pesky copyright issue, though it would be a fan/tribute deck only so I might get away with it.)
Originally posted by laura_borealis

well, there's one or two girl (teenage) smurfs, but you might be right...it could be a problem....

Hey if its not a problem for the Smurfs then why should we let that stop us.....The Smurfs for the majors....
What about H.R. Puffinstuff? You could add their characters to the deck just like the old Saturday line up....and the Banana splits could be the court cards...and fill it in with The Land of the Lost!

What would you use for the suits? One should be mushrooms.
Solty Dog, I once saw on the web a description of a redneck 'tar-ote' reader doing a reading for his son using a redneck (instead of a 'yankee') deck. The author described a bunch of the majors (eg. 'the 16-wheeler mack truck' = chariot; 'buying the farm' = death) and even put together pictures for all the majors. Unforunately I can't seem to find the site again.

What great ideas! I especially like the Dr. Seuss, Steven King and Star Trek tarots. How about:

Similarly, a Hitchcock tarot would be excellent.

Love the name Tarotintino....just rolls off the tongue...
Also love the idea of a Hitchcock Tarot.....
How about the Norman Bates Oracle Deck? Oh, maybe too spooky-
But there is also something appealing about a Mel Brooks tarot. When I start thinking about these decks I just get carried away....
I was thinking a Baby Einstien Tarot... with bright pictures
maybe it is because I have seen the videos dozens of times with a baby at home...

I must be the only geek here because for a few years now I have been working on making the full deck out of the Star Wars saga. Just for me of course. But I would love to see it really made. I pretty much have the majors worked out. I should probably finish it, if I can remember where I put those notes at.
And the AT has inspired me to create again! You guys rock my world. ;)
oooh- a Heavy Metal deck with gothicy scenery, too. You would have to have Meatloaf, Ronnie James Dio, Alice Cooper, OZZY, and Heart in it among others, the lyrics from Rush make great inspiration for the LWB.

I'm thinking a deck based on Sleepy Hollow (not the movie) and perhaps House of Seven Gables, a New England, autumnish, spooky melancholy foggy feel to them. WOW I would love that Tarot illustrated by Will Moses, that would be awesome!!!! If you've ever read and saw his illustrated book Sleepy Hollow and others you know what I mean.
Also a tarot featuring all the old Hammer horror films, cooool. Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing.
The ulitmate would be an Ann Radcliffe tarot, with all her characters from her books.

Oh yes, it is, I suspect it is going to fill it very nicely for me. I am hoping it is my dream deck. But I still want that whole....sleepy hollow thing lol. It's hard to put into exact words....
New England fantasia of ye olde Nymphic Reverie, with its profusion of Victorian music-boxes and china statuettes, mossy pillars and autumnal smoke, emerald glades and overgrown hedge mazes, octagonal stained-glass and sprawling architectural follies, musty libraries and caved-in armchairs, chestnut-flavored pipe-smoke and sepia daguerrotypes, corroded wicket-gates creaking in the dusk, Purcell arias and spineshanked volumes of Seneca and Lucretius, derelict greenhouses and rusted rooftop orreries locked onto ancient sidereal trajectories, melancholy oval portraiture and ethereal night-galleries of sandmen and gargoyles, enfountain'd statuary and fairy gold, country-house victuals and New England weathercocks, little stone bridges over burbling nighttime brooks, cone-hatted gnomic intruders and cross-dimensional bogeymen, talking mice and elemental Deities, nautilus-shells in wet earth, staghorn and faun's feet in brambly ditches, feuding warlocks' covens, Theosophic discussion-circles and Byzantine dynastic reincarnations, spellcraft and espionage, and the "thinning" of elven glades and will o' wisping groves.
Kind of feel.....

So it could be
'Victorian Style {Clothes/hats/etc} Tarot.
"Victorian Houses" Tarot
"Victorian Jewelry" Tarot
I think no matter what though.. I would want people in those too. lol
To make sure it covers the Courts.

How about the Tarot of Valdemar? Mercedes Lackey has created a pretty sizable literary universe, and those who read it usually have ALL the books, so it would be easy to tie each card to a person, place, or situation. She's also married to an artist (Larry Dixon) and has included Tarot imagery in a few of her other books.
Heck, I might start compiling a possible card list for kicks!

Following on from the Pin-up suggestion... I would love to see a man tarot... There's quite a few "saucy" decks out there but all of them place the focus on the female form and so on. I'm far more interested in the male form so this would be something I would buy without any hesitation. (If, of course, it was done tastefully and not done in a sleazy way... I'm hard to please I know!)
