It's the best for me. It works great, is very accurate, and has nice pictures. The problem? It's a Barnes and Noble deck. :eek: It was for sale for $10 including a book. Is it a "lesser quality" deck? :TCHAR

no, it's not inferior! all that matter is that it works for you!!!!!!

niah	10 Jul 2002
Thank you! Truth, I love your avatar. :) My goal in life is to post 100 messages at least so I can get an avatar. :) :TCHAR

Your deck is most definetly not inferior. If you connect with it, it works for you and you like it then you have a great deck for you ... don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

What is the deck you are talking about? And the book that came with it?

niah	10 Jul 2002
It's a boxed set called "The Art of Tarot" by Liz Dean.

I like the soft looking colors. If you would like to read a review of the deck you can go to www.wicce.com go to the Tarot Review section and it is under the A's.

niah	10 Jul 2002
That review was very good. :) Of course, I recieved it as a gift. :) We're not exactly Bill Gates here. :p LOL. Thanks for that link. Now more people can see the deck.

niah, knowing the folks around here, you've probably just started a stampede to buy a copy of it. hear that rumble in the distance? the swish of credit cards wisking out of wallets? imitation is the highest form of flattery.

niah	10 Jul 2002
Oh no! What have I done? All right folks, nothing to see in this thread. Move along! :TCHAR

Art of Tarot is cool, way better than the one that goes by the name the Barnes and Noble Tarot or something like that, its ugly lol. I hear it has a great Devil card in it :) :THP

niah	10 Jul 2002
http://www.wicce.com/artoftarotpix.html The devil card is shown :)

niah: As truthsayer and jewel stated, it's MOST important that you connect with your deck. It's the exchange of energy that makes it work... Here, let me plug that in for you. Seriously, I've got several dozen decks (Art of Tarot? where'd I put my credit card...) but only a few of them really work for me. The rest? Well, I've got this dark cave, and this huge pile of decks, and sometimes I just go down and sleep on them (There mine! Mine I tell you! ALL MINE!) For all you Tarot-o-holics... dial 555-iwant12 Operators are standing by to help you through your addiction.

Uh oh... I think my wish list just got longer. niah, the deck you have is quite lovely. Just for the record...your deck is great if you connect with it and it speaks to you. :p Different decks work for different people. That's why there are so many...and tarotholics are eternally grateful for the hundreds upon hundreds of available decks. :) Jimilyn ...who picks up the phone and dials 555-iwant12

Cool deck. However, the Devil card reminded me of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland--I'm probably the only one that sees her like that but it was my instant reaction. She was a devil wasn't she? "Off with her head! Off with her head!"

Kellinator	11 Jul 2002
Congratulations, Niah! I have a copy that a good friend gave to me. Though I do wish the pips were illustrated, I think it's a lovely deck. The most important thing is that you've found the right deck for *you.* We're all looking for the perfect tarot deck (or two or three or four...); count yourself lucky! :)

niah	12 Jul 2002
Thank you! :) :TCHAR

Jewel	12 Jul 2002
~Giggles at Truthsayer~ ... I resisted ... did you? Niah, do not try to stop the stampede *LOL*. Hang around here long enough and you learn all about Taroholics. We need posts on new decks to feed our frenzy ... we like it ;)

niah	13 Jul 2002
LOL! I try not to support Tarotpheilia. ;) :TCHAR

So nice to meet another kindred spirit :P

I use this deck too niah. It was also a gift. I really enjoy it, I like the pictures and some of the cards have this weird affect on me they kinda make me happy. Judgment is my fave :) for some reason. What is you fave card in the deck? This deck seems simple to others i've seen i think its good for beginers like me :)

bonnycat	03 Oct 2003

The reason i bought another deck i remember now founding it difficult to remember the minors but i think i will be using it again soon now i am much more familar with tarot in general. thank you bonnycat
