Greetings. I've just browsed the entire database at tarotgarden, and I've made myself a new wish-list :D : Tarocchi Romantici.....Tarot of the Ages.....Le Tarot Ambre.....Ananda Tarot.....Ancestral Path.....Fairy Tarot (cute!!).....Hafez Fortune-Telling Cards.....Legend: the Arthurian Tarot.....Old English Tarot.....One World Tarot.....Tarot Polski.....Rohrig Tarot.....Buckland Romani Tarot.....Sacret Circle.....Starlot Tarot.....Victoria Regina Tarot. So far. :) I was really surprised to see that they don't have the Tarot of the Cat People! Or the Winged Spirit Tarot (which is also on my list btw). Hm. Wonder why. *pondering* ~aeonx~

Aeonx - Great wishlist! I pre-ordered a Lo Scarabeo deck "Journey to the Orient" because the cards just seemed to call to me from TarotGarden. Now, for September to get here :D And, by the way, did you check out the Decameron deck coming out by Lo Scarabeo - my poor blushing cheeks! ;) :TQC Starfish

Hm aeonx, you remember me that there are still some decks left on my wish list (this thing will go from here to Rome!) But, the Decamerone is not on my wishlist, too comiclike (at least what I saw of it).

The Victoria Regina is gorgeous!!! I love it though I haven't been able to do much actual work with it yet. I have trouble shuffling those larger size cards. I just got my Legend: Arthurian Tarot in the mail yesterday, and I was a little disappointed with the actual appearance of the cards. The artwork wasn't as polished as I had originally expected. Still, I love Arthurian legend so I can't wait to delve into the meanings behind the scenes she picked out. I hope you'll be able to make most of your wishlist into reality. Hooray for tarotholism. :) Kes

Hi Aeonx, great wish list :) ... of the decks on your wish list I have the ones I left above in the quote. If you want any commentary on any of them let me know :) The Tarot of the Cat People and Winged Spirit are quite easy to find (at least here in the US), and Amazon carries them.

Hey Jewel I want some Ananda comentary :) :THP

Or the Winged Spirit Tarot (which is also on my list btw). Hm. Wonder why. *pondering* That's because we've literally got hundreds more decks on the pile to scan. We can actually get these decks... I think we might even have a copy of the "Cat People" deck in stock... but we're a "small shop," and it takes quite a while to scan and post all those decks with everything else Lori and I have to do to keep up with you guys! Hee, hee! ;) We can always scan cards from specific decks and get them into our database upon request. Just let us know anytime you want to see something, and I'll "kick it up" in the posting queue. FYI, a portion of all Aeclectic-referred sales revenues are donated back to support Aeclectic. So if you place an order after learning about us on this site, please let us know! We can't always tell if somenone learned about us through Aeclectic if they don't tell us, especially since we know folks through Aeclectic by their forum "handles," but they often contact us about purchases using their real names. So be sure to let us know, even if you've ordered from us before! If you have any questions about the decks on your list, Aeonx, please feel free to contact us on- or offlist. Best, -- Jeannette Tarot Garden http://www.tarotgarden.com

aeonx- I won't bother to post my wish list because it's 45 decks long! Keslynn, the Legend:Arthur deck is done in a pastel watercolor kind of art. I had somewhat of the same reaction when I first received mine. Here's what I did - I layed every card from the deck out on the floor in order, and looked at them all together. I really liked and appreciated them much more after that for some reason. I've also heard that the companion book "A Keeper of Words" is very good ,and describes the story on every card, but I haven't read it yet.

aeonx	13 Jun 2002
Keslynn: Oh, you got to let me know how's it going with the Victoria Regina-deck! Are the cards much larger than a standart tarot edition? Jewel: Thanx for your offer! :) Actually, I would like commentaries on all. :D But I can get back to you on that when I come home from my holiday. Jeannette and/or Lori: You have a great site, and it's so easy browsing your products! Besides, there's almost no waiting time for the pages to load! It must be so fun, yet hard work, to have a shop of your kind! I wish you the best of luck further. :) purplelady: I almost can't wait to order my Legend, but are the cards kinda 'pale'? ~aeonx~

Keslynn	13 Jun 2002
The Victoria Regina is bigger than the standard deck. It's not quite as big as the Thoth but definitely large enough to make it uncomfortable for people with small hands (like me!). I generally swirl to shuffle anyway but it is nice to have the option of riffling, even if one doesn't actually do it very often. If that makes any sense... You can probably find exact measurements for the VR on amazon or any detailed tarot site. Despite my problems with the size, I love this deck and highly recommend it. Sarah Ovenall's collage art is incredible and not to be missed. As for Legend, I was more disappointed with the unfinished sort of quality in the art. Like lines and colors that aren't particularly "neat." Maybe I'm just anal retentive. I'll have to try what purplelady suggested and see if it helps. But I do love Arthurian legend enough that I'll keep the deck whether I warm to it or not. Hope that helped, but then again, I say you should just get them all. ;)

aeonx	14 Jun 2002
Keslynn: I'm very much the same way about decks. It's quite important to me that lines and colors are neat, so I would have to consider the Legend again. Hm. *thinking* ~aeonx~

Starfish	14 Jun 2002
I also agree with the previous posts. The imagery of the cards (colors, shapes, neatness) is important to me. How large are the Legend cards? :TQS Starfish

Jewel	14 Jun 2002
The Legend cards are standard size.

Maan	14 Jun 2002
You have got great taste Aeonx!!! ;)

mondk	14 Jun 2002
I have the Winged Spirit deck you mentioned (love it so far by the way...it is one of my newest decks) and I purchased it through my cousin who sells New Age stuff at wholesale. I believe he ordered it through U.S. Games Systems, Inc. Their website is www.usgamesinc.com. AzureGreen is another place where some of my decks have come from...through my cousin, of course. Let me know if you want his business website. Blessings to all!!!!!!!!! Michelle

Phoenix	14 Jun 2002
Aeonx, I have the Ancestral Path, Sacred Circle, and Rohrig, and love all three of them!! The Ancestral Path is one of my favorites and I can't wait to get the Tarot of the Ages!!! I think that you will like all of them.

aeonx	15 Jun 2002
Maan: I know! *lol* :P Phoenix: I guess you run to my other thread: 'Rohrig Tarot?'! :D I'm going to check it out after this one. It's so exiting to see the different opinions on a deck. *s* Maybe I have to ask you about the others next. :D ~aeonx~

Phoenix	15 Jun 2002
Well, I am always here if you need to ask about the rest!!!

aeonx	17 Jun 2002
Thanks! :* ~aeonx~

Lee	30 Jun 2002
I managed to find my Prediction Tarot, so right now I don't covet anything! I guess I will have to renounce my membership in Tarot-holics. Oh, yes, I do want the Courtney Davis Celtic Tarot. It was one of the first decks I had, and I traded it away, and now I want it back. I'll buy it when it's re-released at the end of the year (it will be cheaper than the version on sale now). -- Lee

Ravenswing	30 Jun 2002

Hi I`m quite new to tarot - Got my first tarot deck about a year ago. Anyway I`ve been trying really hard not to have a wish list but I think that it`s time to admit that i think I`m addicted. I really want: Gendron tarot Goddess tarot Nigel Jackson tarot Spiral tarot I`m waiting for Tarot Nova to arrive - I just had to have some smaller cards to carry round with me. Oh dear. Blessings Julie xx

Zhritza	05 Jul 2002
There are so many decks I want that are easily available... But the tricky ones are the PoMo, the Stick Figure, the Hello Tarot, the New York, the Stone and the Masonic. Aside from the PoMo I think I can dredge them all up, with a lot of spare money and a credit card, neither of which I have...
