Hello Tarot- It is a very cute deck that uses the traditional Rider-Waite tarot scenes but has used Hello Kitty as the main character. The card are black line drawings on white. Not only Hello Kitty but as well as some other characters- Melody and Keropi. Great Deck for cartoon lover beginners! Hugobian Tarot- Indeed a Land of Bears! Brown bears with colourful backgrounds. A great deck for children. Knight riding on scooter rather than a horse. Heart-shape clouds, so sweet! A cute face on the moon. Did you spot it? Disney Afternoon Tarot- The death is coming! Not after your life but your face with the messy purple paint! Hehe! Whose the shortie in front of devil? Is that a fool with a bulb or hermit with lamp? The Disney characters are into the Tarot Deck! Interesting "storylines"!! Gotta get one soon~ Whimsical Tarot- Your best friends during your childhood are here to accompany you during your Tarot readings! A light-hearted and friendly Deck. Will the Empress survive living in the big shoe at the wild with her children? Lets hope the white and black mouse will bring Cinderalla back home at time. The Magician Puss in the Boots. A rather long name.. Did you get your cute Tarot Deck?

I think that the Hanson Roberts tarot deck should be included under the umbrella term 'cute tarots'. :)

I like the Wonderland tarot. I haven't used it for reading much but it is fun. I like the Cheshire cat as the Emperor. Also the Holloween tarot is fun. I like the Frankenstein Monster as the Emperor and his Bride as the Emperess. Also the scare cow as the Hanged man is a neat card. Blessings and Joy to all ,wolfen

Tarot for Cats is very cute. I also love the Halloween tarot, the artist who made this deck was certainly a creative person ! There is also a stick figure tarot based on the rws, but it is very rare and very expensive. The creator of the deck just made it for fun never thinking it would be a success, but many people like it. Those simple drawings, but it just works. I would like to have this deck but I don't want to pay an awful lot of money for it.

Hanson-Roberts Tarot has characters that rather serious looking. I feel that the rabbit in the Queen of Pentacles is cute! It is a fun looking Tarot Deck. If you want a serious deck with cute feelings. Thats a deck you should choose! http://www.aeclectic.net/hansonroberts/index.html

The Hanson Roberts is a fantastic deck. Yes, the characters are serious but they still retain a certain, shall we say, 'fairytale' quality. I love this deck. Whenever I read using with this deck, the querent often comments as to the images; 'aw, how cute'. Yes, yes, heard it before! C

The Tarot Nova is a pretty cute deck too. It even comes in two cute sizes! :) Wolf Spirit, I love Kipling West's Halloween Tarot. She also did the Tarot for Cats which you mentioned as being another cute tarot. After getting the Halloween and loving it, I found out that she had (that I know of!) two majors-only decks published. Of course, I had to get them. Both are out-of-print, but I did track down copies of (of the afore mentioned) Tarot for Cats and the Amazing Fortune-Telling Cards. I guess the Amazing Fortune-Telling Cards should be in the list of cute decks also. Whimsical artwork by K. West in a deck designed for children. I think that probably qualifies! :)

I was never drawn to it because I thought it was too cute to do a serious reading. I bought it because I wanted a smaller sized deck and it has become one of my favourite, most used decks. Of course the connection with a deck is different for every person. I was just very surprised at how much I could see within each card, somehow these cards in their simplicity draw me right in to somewhere beyond the card (if that makes any sense). I bought the Whimsical deck today, no doubt about it's cuteness

Fairy Tarot- Another cute Tarot Deck. A Italian deck with strong fantasy influence, the cards show enchanting scenes of playful fairies and small cute animals. http://www.aeclectic.net/tfairy/index.html Tarot of Baseball- A deck for baseball fans? Nahz, it is for every Tarot users, especially those that collect cute decks like this one. It is light-hearted and a very fun deck. Maybe you will need a little of baseball knowledge before buying one. http://www.aeclectic.net/baseball/index.html Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot- This is a rather messy,crazy and fun deck. It is a very cartoonist deck. 9 of Wands having a magician during magic tricks. The angel of Temperance having a fashion hairstyle. The deck is totally fun!! http://www.aeclectic.net/phantasmagoric-theater/index.html Tarot Nova- A deck with 1 simple picture on every each card.It is easy to read. However, the 1 picture in every card is fun. It might be quite hard for beginners.. http://www.aeclectic.net/nova/index.html Three Cats Tarot- The fool is a female with a cat instead of dog and the hermit looks a bit more like the witch. Is cute and light-hearted. Rather cartoonist ^_^ http://www.aeclectic.net/threecats/index.html Ursidae Tarot- Attention to all Teddy Bears lovers! A deck just right for you. It has real Teddy Bears pictures in the deck. All with different clothings represent different meaning to the card. So cute! http://www.aeclectic.net/bear/index.html

stop, stop!! you people are killing me...i want them alll!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...lol it's so strange...until i started coming here i never even thought of buying other decks, nor did i consider collecting them...you people are a bad influence ;) hehe (but i'm happy for it...so, i'm really just whining that i don't have the $$ yet to buy them all...heh) Fairy Tarot, Three cats Tarot, Hanson-Roberts Tarot... :( i want 'em all...wah! lol many blessings to all...

Hehe! I think everyone shouldnt spend too much money on Tarot Decks. We should choose the favourite out of the 400 decks. Stick to the only favourite deck and master it. Then when you have enough money to buy a second one. But is better to put your money in bank and save it for your future house or when you're old. :P

Gerbear	01 Apr 2003
Hmmm, Stick to your favorite deck? Save money for reasonable goals? How odd. lol. Well, it can be done!! So what if my favorite deck has 400 variations, which I must have. One cute variation is the Gummibear Tarot.

coldsuns	01 Apr 2003
Gummibear Tarot- Thats a cute Tarot Deck! Best for 5yrs to 12yrs kids. But also a great deck for adults. The bears in this deck have great face expressions. This is the first bears deck with face impression. The male bear in The Lover look like "Ribena"(the leaf covering the sensitive part). But this is a deck of Germany. I can only understand English and Chinese. *Sad* http://www.moonlovers.com/tarot/gummibearcards.gif

Tarot of the Cat People http://www.tarotpassages.com/catpeoplelb.htm is a fantasy deck with some dark themes and images, but still fun because the author has imagined an elaborately structured society populated by otherworldly beings and their feline companions.

wolfen045	01 Apr 2003
Astraea, I agree with on this deck. I love the Tarot of the Cat People. It was either the second or third deck I bought. I used to do very successful readings for my friends with it . And when the book came out, I got that right away and immursed (sp) myself in that world. I haven't used this deck in a long while. Thanks for reminding me about it. I am gonna pull it out of my tarot drawer to play with and enjoy later! Blessings and joy, wolfen

Myriantha	01 Apr 2003
Thanks for the link to the Gummibear Tarot, coldsuns! I've never seen that deck before. "Aaaaah! I've been blinded by cuteness!!!" The fig leaf on the male bear in the Lovers card is just too much. :D Another cute deck nobody has mentioned yet is the Arcani Gatti II, featuring pseudo-Victorian-style cats gratuitously posed in vaguely Tarot-like scenes. Unfortunately, I don't think it can possibly beat out the sheer, unremitting cuteness of gummi Death.

Are you a Japanese Cartoon Fan? I found a cute Japanese Cartoon Tarot Deck. http://www.bukimi.com/net-labo/utena_e.html To many, only the Fool is cute. But actually most of the characters have those sexy and cute feeling. It makes you happier unlike some other Decks that give you goosebump!!
