If you can, post links to the images for lesser known decks. My favorite Magician is from the Mage: The Ascension Tarot. http://spoogle.us/~tsuzuki/images/mage-tarot.jpg My favorite High Priestess is from the Waite-Smith. And my favorite King/Knight of Wands is from Liber T: Tarot of Stars Eternal. http://spoogle.us/~tsuzuki/images/scepters-knight.jpg

Great idea for a thread! :) My favorite Chariot is from the Tarot of the Crone: The whole deck can be viewed atwww.croneways.com: Ellen Lorenzi-Prince's poems are as powerful as the cards.

Forgot to mention. Also the Death card from Waite-Smith.

Actually, one of my favorite "cards" is actually a card pair, from the Jungian Tarot. Check 'em out side-by-side below, and see if you don't view the meanings of those two cards in a bit of a different light afterwards. They've given me much more than a few moments of pausing and reflecting. -- Jeannette The Tarot Garden P.S. - Tsuzuki: I'm really fond of the Mages Magician card, too. Although there's so many cool cards in that deck, it's hard to choose which one is the "coolest."

For being from a novelty deck, that one card sums up much of the current occult Renaissance. And this would make a good Chariot if it were in a deck. http://www.justcartoon.com/song/images/initald_1.jpg (large file) I think from now on, all Chariot cards should have cars in them.

They've given me much more than a few moments of pausing and reflecting. And a new meaning to "for better or for worse"... Interesting, Jeannette! I think that my favourite card so far is - blush - the Tower of my own deck in creation... Love Simone

Okay, here's another one of mine, from the Matthews' Arthurian Tarot. It's Taliesin -- the bardic figure of Arthurian Lore -- as the Hierophant. A much gentler approach to the idea of traditions and values, which are being passed along to the children at Taliesin's feet. The ribbon represents history and the flow of time -- it starts behind Taliesin's chair, flows up and over and through his hands, and into the hands of the children. A very powerful symbol, IMO. (And, BTW, we named our son Taliesin. This card was not the entire reason for doing that -- but I must admit, it factored into my part of the decision.) -- Jeannette The Tarot Garden
