i'm not one to be Christian religious, but this Lent i've given up buying tarot decks - good for my bank balance, and my room as i dont think i can fit that much in here anymore! But... easter is springing its way, so i'd like to bask in some tarot delight that i went 40 days and 40 nights without purchasing anymore! Any ideas on some nice new deck for me to thumbed through? Sezo x

Well, if you've got the money I suggest the Mary-el Tarot. A beautiful, stunning, awe-inspiring deck that speaks straight to the soul. Great for readings, but also a marvellous collector's piece. Or, for the book-worm in you, how about Scapini's Romeo and Juliet Tarot? Or, you could always try and win yourself a Masonic Tarot on Ebay. :D Kiama

wow! just did a quick search for Mary-el n found the website. ohhhhhhhh they are just gorgeous!!! Shame its not complete yet, but the $65.00 is abit steep even for me for an incomplete deck. I love the style! its similar to ms hertz (of the vampire and fantastical deck which i LOVE). A rare beauty but dont think i can persuade my mum to put that kinda money on her credit card lol The Shakespeare deck i've discovered on playingcardsales.co.uk at 24.00pound soo that could be a possible, its very nice and a super special deck. Oh the Mansonic tarot hm the seller Gwlubin seems abit, i dont know. He sells alot of the knights tempelar or masonic, and im under the impression they are fairly rare but hes also selling a few of them! If anyone has bought anything from him n its all okie doke i might consider it :P Just flicking through the posts the Golden Tarot seems to be hit of the week (literally!) n it is very ooooh lol. I'm not usually one for that sort of art work but i really do like the scans. One thing i am fussy is getting the scan and make it HUGE so i get a really good look at the style, the shading etc (though its dependent on a good scan to begin with!) Any other ideas folks??

Hi inanna! Maybe The Flower Speaks or The Wildflower Tarot in keeping with the spirit of the season.

Hey diane drizzy! Cant find any scans of those decks... any help?? Any other ideas peeps! C'mon, i'm practically begging for ideas to expand my tarot collection! Thought they'd be more imput than this. Your letting yourselves down ya know *wonders if thats enough whipcracking* lol Sezo x

Hi Inanna! So sorry, I'm not skilled enough to do those little fancies to take you to these sites directly. I do know that AT shows The Flowers Speak and you can find The Wildflower Tarot at The Tarot Garden. Hope this helps.
