Faerie Lin	13 May 2003
I'm waiting for my Dante to arrive! Any day now... wouldn't be surprised if it arrived today. Hopefully.

jema	13 May 2003

Astraea	13 May 2003
Hi, Maan. It's been awhile since I've experienced the thrill of unwrapping a new deck, too. Right now, I'm waiting for the Camoin-Jodorowsky Marseilles deck and the Le Jeu Lenormand. Hope your Vision Quest arrives soon -- a year is a looooong time to wait!

wavebreaker	13 May 2003
I'm waiting for an Amazon gift certificate (which I won't get until the end of July) which I want to use to buy the Tao Oracle. So that's still a long wait... ;)

Keslynn	13 May 2003
I'm waiting on a Buckland Romani! I can't wait to finally hold it because the artwork looks so beautiful. I haven't had a new deck in months either. A sad thing for a tarotholic. Oh and I'm trading with RedWood so I'll be getting a Crystal Ally oracle deck. :) Kes

Kiama	13 May 2003
I have a trade going with Metaz for the Triple Goddess Tarot, one with Lunalafey for the Decameron... *Thinks* Possibly an Ananda is on it's way from a friend... :D Y'know, this last month has seen my deck collection rise about 6 decks, so I'm unsure which ones I'm still waiting for! Kiama

gypsy_morrigan	13 May 2003
the World Spirit and Wild Spirit. I don't know how it happened that I ordered these two with similar names at the same time, but maybe it's a sign! Eleanor

Macavity	13 May 2003
Well, I see that e.g. http://www.alidastore.com/ have copies of Lo Scarabeo's NICE new Eteilla style deck: (the alternative?) "Book of Thoth". So ya never know... :D Macavity

RedWood	13 May 2003
Stuff I am waiting for from trades: Buckland Romani Set Celtic Flower speaks set Casanova Sacred Rose set Natures Healing oracle Sacred Circle set

galadrial	13 May 2003
I've gotten on the Tarot of Prague preorder list, and keep going over to her site to see the cards as they're finished. I've also been looking forward to Lo Scarabeo publishing The Animal Lords Tarot, supposedly due out sometime this fall.

HudsonGray	13 May 2003
I ordered a Comparative tarot off ebay & waited 2 1/2 weeks and nothing came, contacted the seller-they had my right address, went down to the post office -we'd had a new mail carrier all week, nothing came. She offered to send me a second deck, but that hasn't arrived yet either.............this is the first time I've had trouble with getting something via ebay. The seller has a store, I'm sure she sent a deck out. I work at home so I beat the mailman to the box for new mail, but I'm not sure I'll be getting this deck after all. I feel bad for the seller who may be out two decks. I have no idea where the first one went but it didn't get returned to her & it never showed up here.

Hedera	14 May 2003
I'm waiting for the Wheel of Change, finally broke down and ordered it a while ago. It kept popping up, but I was a bit put off by the non-traditionality of it, and the artwork doesn't look too impressive on most of the online scans, a bit 'thin' and fuzzy. But I think I will enjoy studying it, perhaps meditating with it. The pagan influence in it really appeals to me. And perhaps I will end up reading with it, I find I have less trouble now with decks that depart from the RWS or Thoth meanings, as long as the deck makes sense in itself and feels balanced. I received a *lot* of decks lately, mostly from trades. Haven't had time to sit down and work with most of them yet. I should really take a loooooong time out and devote at least a week to really studying some of the decks! :) Oh, and I'm also waiting for the Tarot of Prague!

Kiama	14 May 2003
Oh I forgot... I'm also looking forward to a Tarot for Cats and BOTA deck. :D Kiama

Dakini	14 May 2003
I'm waiting on the Quester deck and book, I ordered it from Amazon back in March and was suppost to get it in April. It's now on back order with delivery expected the end of May. The Dragon Mystigue deck should arrive anyday(I got on ebay). And of course the Tarot of Prague is preordered. I'm anxiously waiting and having a hard time choosing which card I want for a print its such a beautiful deck. Blessings Dakini

Jenny-Li	14 May 2003
The Margarethe Petersen! Have wanted it forever, but it's not distributed here in Sweden (it will be, I'm sure, but it will probably take FOREVER and a day...!) and I hate internet-shopping overseas if I can avoid it, so I asked a German friend who's coming to Stockholm in June to get it for me and bring it with her when she comes... So! June 3rd it will be in my eagerly waiting little hands! :D Jenny :)

callahwj	14 May 2003
pythagorean tarot should be ariving today, I'm really excited about it. -bill

Strange2	14 May 2003
I'm waiting for the arrival of the Jungian Tarot and its companion book, plus the Tarot of the Trance. Both eBay catches, that caught me in a weak (or strong) moment. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Sulis	15 May 2003
I`m waiting for the book `Tarot of the Spirit` by Pamela Eakins, got the deck a few weeks ago but the book`s coming from the States; been waiting about a month now so hopefully I`ll have it soon. Love and light Crystalmynx xx

SharonElizabeth	15 May 2003

Pollux	16 May 2003
- Cosmic Tribe (YAY) from baba-prague! :D - Medicine Woman from Kissa! :D Just two... But two very interesting decks. The first I have been wanting on and off for... AGES! And Medicine Woman was not really on my wishlist, but then I had what Kissa wanted and got really really interested, especially after looking at all the pics... So I am dying to get it too! :D Also I am sending off decks to people (not in trades) and don't want to spend more for shipping (shipped four things last week, and three to ship still! DOH! *LOL*) so can't afford other trades or buys (I am spending lots on books lately myself like jema :*) Quote: Originally posted by Kiama Possibly an Ananda is on it's way from a friend... :D Yeah but I am sending it for your birthday, so be prepared for a "couple of weeks" of waiting ok? Come to that, I didn't tell you about this... :rolleyes: *LOL* Well, I'm just broke and STILL setting up a nmber of trades: shipping is draining me! Well, you might understand... }) *LOL*

RiccardoLS	16 May 2003
Pollux is also waiting for an Etruscan tarot, even if he doesn't know yet :)) Grin :))) Riccardo

firemaiden	16 May 2003
I am waiting for two new LS decks from Alida: Vikings, and Spirit of Flowers. And its all the fault of people on Aeclectic who FORCED ME!!

falconwing	16 May 2003
*ughhh....waiting is sooo horrible!!!! I received the MerryDay-Tarot and the Wise Woman's Tarot today (*yippppiiiieee) and I am waiting for: - the Lovecraft Tarot - the Tarot of Ceremonnial Magick - the Lukumi Tarot - the Sephiroth-Tarot - the Dreamtime Oracle - the Lakota Sweatlodge Oracle - the celtic book of the dead-cards ...*hm...and I am definetely _not_ waiting for my next Visa-invoice (guys, I have a horrible vision when I see it in my "inner mind"....it aren't only the decks but also tons of books *blush) Another addict, Falconwing

Pollux	16 May 2003
I wish I were waiting for a Merry-Day too... :( But HEY I can hear a whisper along the leaves of the trees... Mh... It's a nice thing, nice news from the east, but I can't quite figure out what... :rolleyes: *LOL* ;)

RedWood	16 May 2003
Not waiting anymore for my Secrets and Manara..I GOT THEM woowoooo!

Khatruman	16 May 2003
Ahhh, my wait list... becoming a tarot bargain hunter. I found the Ancestral Path available, with book and all, for less than $8 (half.com for any who want to know where), and I bought the Bosch. Thinks I am going to curb the spending of money and begin the spending of time with these decks..*s*

Pollux	17 May 2003
Kathruman I also read about the INEXPENSIVE Tatot of Transformation somewhere... So, as you already have this tarotholic like intentions, why don't you get a copy for me too??? *LOL*

WolfSpirit	17 May 2003
I am waiting for a cheap copy of the Ancestral Path and Wheel of Change tarot, deck plus book because I want to use both for studying. 8 $ at half.com is great Khatruman...but for Europe, the shipping costs may be so high that it is better for me to look for a copy here. A deck alone is not so much, but those decks with books...

RedWood	17 May 2003
Woohooo Wolf spirit about the Wheel of Change..I have that.. ihave not studie in depth..but it is rather interesting! I got my Casanova..I really like it..it is mainly Women and Breasts..I maybe be able to read with it! Sacred Rose..really dont like it....putting it up for trade. The rose part is interesting..but that is the extrent of my interest of it.

HudsonGray	17 May 2003
My Comparative Tarot finally came in the mail. This one will take some getting used to--but I can see how the different decks would enhance or expand each position meaning. it's going to take practice though.

Faerie Lin	17 May 2003
Got my Dante already, WOW those cards are gorgeous! Now I am awaiting for the SoulCards I to come.

RedWood	17 May 2003
Ohh COngrats Faerie Lin..I relaly love Soul Cards 1..I have soul Cards 2 also..the deck feels complete when they are together.

Faerie Lin	17 May 2003
I just got through looking at the SoulCards 2 again on the www.touchdrawing.com website. I like set 1 better than 2. But both sets as a whole seems to be calling now! Off to read some of the threads about them.

firemaiden	17 May 2003
I got the Dante too, but when I looked at them they made me tired :( They are beautiful, but I got discouraged because it will take me so much work before I can use them at all, or know what they are all about.

A deck alone is not so much, but those decks with books... Sorry, Wolf, I must become more internationally sensitive. I know I behave too much like the egocentric American sometimes, and don't take into account that the world isn't the U.S of A...LOL. And Pollux.. I did order the Tarot of Transformation, it was available cheaper than anywhere else at overstock.com... Would get you one, but my checkbook and charge card say it isn't Christmas yet.. :P

WolfSpirit	19 May 2003
Khat, I did not read your post as inetrnationally insensitive. But looking at the tarot section at ebay I think you do get teh feeling the whole world is USA...not that many bargains tarotwise for us Europeans. The ancestral is not rare nor very expensive, so I will get it anyway, but it would be so cool to get something I want real cheap...also, I am trying to make the intervals between buying decks longer and finding a deck at a bargain price would be a perfect reason to break this rule :P

G.I.R.	19 May 2003
I don't have anything in particular I'm looking for. (Still looking for the deck that's just right) I just cant decide on the right deck. Anybody know of some really good dark side decks? (vampire, vertigo, etc.) E-mail me pleeze

HOLMES	20 May 2003
tarot of the heart, an inutive approach (least i think that is the title coming all the way from australia twice now boy the things that book must of saw lol ) tarot of the sephiroth, and maybe a magical course in tarot. and numerology and the divine traingle. besides my life is boring ,, (isn't that how it goes you get a big pile of stuff and sit around for a week or so depressed as you achieved your goals ?)

amznVibe	19 Oct 2003
For those of you that were hoping to trade for The Wise Woman's Tarot, you can at least get the deck for the next week or so for $10. It's the deck's a one year anniversary and to celebrate Flash Silvermoon is selling the deck seperately for the first time ever. This link will get you the anniversary deal: http://www.flashsilvermoon.com/anniversary.htm
