whats you're deck of chose

Little Baron	13 Jul 2004
Right now, I would have to say 'The Rohrig' but I am awaiting the 'Soprafino' and after looking at it in pictures, wonder if the Rohrig may get pushed aside for a little while. "Rohrig, it's time for a vacation! I've got a new mate coming to stay!" - Rohrig packs itself up in its box, and with head down, leaves by the door, dropping a 'breast' or two on its way out (anyone that knows the Rohrig will understand that reference, due to the amount of them that are splashed throughout this great deck lol). Best wishes Yaboot

BlueLotus	13 Jul 2004
Right now, it is the . It is one of the most beautiful decks and gives clear insights .

Ancestral Path - has been my favourite for some time and is still the winner I think, although I spend a lot of time at the moment with the Tarot of Prague. I haven't had it for long and am still discovering it.

The Tarot of Prague is top on my list. I do also like the Golden Tarot and the Worldtree Tarot.--Tao

The Tarot of Timeless Truth Sue

Emily	14 Jul 2004
Mine is the Morgan Greer but I'm also working with the Golden by Kat Black :)

Whichever is the most recent I've gotten;-) Currently the Servants of the Light deck, but I'm not sure it loves me back. The most wonderfully imagined Majors I've ever seen, though. Better readings with the Alchemical Tarot; great if derivative artwork, too. However I bonded with the Osho Zen Tarot on first reading, have never had to look up the meaning of a card in the book, and suspect that I have a lifetime committment here.

Moonbow*	14 Jul 2004
***Moonbow giggles*** yep good description Yaboot..... not only a breast or two either ;) My favourite....... ooohhhh this is harder than choosing 5 (another thread) um .... and I can only speak for this moment in time.... Rohrig... there, said it! or Hadar or..... or.......

Little Baron	14 Jul 2004
Good choice Moonbow ... same as mine. Also, funnily enough, I was talking to Diana earlier and told her that at the next financial opportunity, the Hadar is the next one on my list. So ..... I'll be picking your brains in the 'not so far' future lol. Yaboot

Necromancer	14 Jul 2004
I'm currently awating the prague tarot, and morgin greer tarot, and rohig.

tao51	15 Jul 2004
All three are excellent choices. I particularly like the Tarot of Prague. It has a powerful feel. I use it on a daily basis.The Rohrig Tarot can be tricky to shuffle becouse of the large cards.--Tao

13thFaeChylde	15 Jul 2004
Hmmmmm....today my favorite would be (anguishes).... Tarot of Prague

hyatt	15 Jul 2004
I love the Secret Tarot

Aun	16 Jul 2004
My "deck of the moment" is the Magickal Tarot by Anthony Clark... My all times fav is the "one and only" Thoth

arcanalefait	16 Jul 2004
My favorite is the Ancestral Path (although once Maat is published it could have some competition!). A close second is Songs for the Journey Home. I do like the Rohrig too, though. And I absolutely adore my Rock & Roll tarot--though I rarely read with it. Arcana

lunakasha	16 Jul 2004
Right now I have four that I alternate with: The Osho Zen and Vargo's Gothic for daily card readings.... And the Gilded and Rohrig for full readings..... But I have a few other favorites that I try to sneak in every now and then!!! }) :) Luna

Anna	18 Jul 2004
Just 1??? arrggh, so difficult. Well, at this moment in time its my morgan greer. I have just spent an incredible weekend reading for friends with this deck. One of the many reasons why I love this deck is that the images are so striking and clear. When I read with this deck I find that my querents are able to pick up on things that they see within the cards, and we can explore the spread together. I really like the people I read for to be as involved as possible in the reading and I think the morgan greer makes that process so much easier.

laura_borealis	18 Jul 2004
My favorite is one I dreamed about, but have never seen in waking life.

Chronata	18 Jul 2004
I go through favorites all the time...besides my default decks(Hanson Roberts and the RWS)...I change my favorite deck on a fairly regular basis. Last month it was the Buckland Romani, the month before that it was the Morgan Greer. This month is the FERRET TAROT... Sweet , funny and quite mischievious...this deck has taken over, and MUST be the center of my attention. It won't allow me to read with another deck,and if I try, it will distract me by doing a cool new trick, or by getting in somewhere it shouldn't be. Not that I mind...this is without a doubt one of the best reading decks I own!

BlueLotus	16 Aug 2004
I have just received my , and I can say with confidence that it will be my favorite deck for a long time. Although I have received a few more decks at the same time , I find myself coming back to more often. WOW I have yet to find one single flow in this deck, not that I am looking for one. It is near perfect.

Eco74	16 Aug 2004
And I'm Waiting for the Ferret Tarot. Ordered but yet to arrive, and Chronatas happy comment above is not making me any less jumping with anticipation whenever the word "ferret" is seen. *s* For now though.. Well, I'm starting to Really discover the Phantasmgoric Theatre now which really draws me to it simply by getting to know it more closely, but have other decks that float to the surface on and off.

Gerbear	16 Aug 2004
My deck of choice right now, is the Gilded Tarot. It just might replace the Tarot of the Spirit as my main deck.

mercenary30	16 Aug 2004
Even with the recent influx of new decks I have gotten, I have to say that Tarot of Prague is securely anchored as my favorite deck.

Jewel-ry	16 Aug 2004
Tarot of Prague is firmly ensconsed as one of my fav's too merc! In fact it has been for several months. The only time I defer from it really is for a TdM, usually Hadar but I also use Fournier and Camoin. As you say, many come and go but the firm favourites don't seem to change. :)

ambermoon	16 Aug 2004
For meditation and daily cards, The Goddess Tarot remains my favorite. I have a new deck waiting for me at home that is likely to draw me into its glittering, silky, velvet smooth, and furry profusion: the Baroque Bohemian Cats. It just looks like it will be THE deck for cold autumn and winter nights, for readings by candlelight.

contrascarpe	16 Aug 2004
My favorite deck is the Margarete Petersen. My favorite reading decks are the Robin Wood and the LS Tarot of the Imagination (although I must say that after working with the Baroque Bohemian Cats, it could be a contender). Nothing compares to the Margarete Petersen IMHO though. Dan

Ace	16 Aug 2004
The WorldTree is my deck of choice right now, I have used the Ancestral Path a bit- the Hanged One still comes up in my readings with other decks! That was the card that made me buy it. I own a Rohig deck, don't you find it rather negative? I find all the captions so negative even on cards I usually find as positve. I do like the art even so.

The Rohrig is one of my favorites - I don't find it any more negative than any other deck. I do ignore Key Words on most decks (the only exception being the TAO Oracle). Key words tend to cheapen a deck IMO. The Rohrig, however, stands on its own even without the words. Dan

Lightbringer	02 Feb 2005
My favourite deck is the Timeless Truth Tarot by Leila Vey. It is so vivid and intuitive. I really enjoy looking at the pictures. I find the readings make sense to me. So I get to combine imagery and utility. Could I ask for more? :)

Unicorncrazy	03 Feb 2005
My favourite deck of Tarot is Titanias Fortune Cards. I like them because they are easy to understand and read.

Cerulean	03 Feb 2005
from the Royal Thai for my own readings. But some others are getting good vibrations: Druidcraft/Forest Folklore is giving some nice readings for others. I love them as naturalistic tarot tools. Lovers Path for some special tarotists that have looked at my deck seems to have shown a fascinating and different window.... I picked up my old Jane Lyle "Lovers Tarot" anniversary edition and my Neoclassical di Gumppenberg 1811, last night, but the flavor of the Royal Thai was what I was yearning for a nice evening reading for myself... Regards, Cerulean
