I was just curious to see what other decks (in addition to the Golden) do you really, really like. I'm a bit worried that I may be ruined for all other decks! lol ;) As for myself I really enjoy my Faeries Oracle and I have my eye on the Ancient Egyptian Tarot by Clive Barrett.

I suppose the list could go on for a long while, but if I limit myself to decks with a more medieval theme : Lovers Tarot by Jane Lyle Nigel Jackson Tarot Visconti Gold Medieval Scapini Mantegna Old English Bosch

http://www.lelandra.com/comptarot/tarotsca.htm Unfortunately, I like the look of the Golden Tarot but probably will never acquire it as I'm slightly allergic to metal foil and metallic inks. Too bad this deck and other metallic ink decks aren't available in non-metallic options. Other decks you might like for their sumptuousness might be: - LS Golden Tarot of the Tsar - LS Nefertari (or its non-metallic and less expensive cousin, the Sphynx)

I love the Golden Tarot as well, but I have to say my favorite is still the Tarot of Prague. Other favorites are Ancestral Path Osho Zen Blue Rose Artists Inner Vision

I love the Golden too, its in my top 6/7 with: Tarot of Prague Fournier Hadar Soprafino decks Crystal Morgan Greer I think I just about prefer the Marseille and Italian decks but my Tarot of Prague is still holding its own. I am very partial to it. J :)

I agree that the Golden is a work of art, in many ways. The seamless integration of the images makes this deck stand out to me. Growing up with the RWS images doesn't hurt, nor does my love for medieval/renaissance art. IMHO, a close second to the Golden is my Tarot of Prague. This is also a beautiful deck in the same genre. My main reading decks are the Robin Wood, Morgan-Greer, Gendron (which is still a wonder to me) and the Tarot of the Journey to the Orient. Others in my collection I can read with (and those numbers grow stronger all the time), while others I like to look at/study but never read. I have a couple which will remain nameless that I dislike immensely, but you never know ...... I hated the Gendron right off the bat and it grew on me. Dan
