Have you eer come across 2 decks (or more than 2, dont want to limit this) in your collection (or even outside your colletion) that seem like they were meant to work together. Like they were soul mates, or a married couple. Im getting this feeling strongly that my Rohrig deck wants me to buy the I Am One deck as its soulmate. I compared all the minors and the realtions were amazing really. Its like Rohrig is the Male head of the relationship while the I Am One is the female supporter. They give a yin and yang to the meanings of the cards, an exoteric and an esoteric aspect. Its a strange feeling. Well, I suppose having your Tarot deck ask you to buy another deck is strange too lol. One of the funniest comparisons is the Rohrig 6 of Cups showing 2 lovers in a passionate embrace andthe I AM One keyphrase I Am Easy lol. They are both based on Thoth, but when i compared them bothto Thoth I didnt getthe same conecting feeling. Anyway, do you have, or know of, 2 decks that seem this way? :THP

I kinda feel that my Londa Tarot is the perfect match for my Universal Waite deck.

I believe Osho Zen and RIder Waite do the same thing as I think about it, probaly would look nicer to use Uniersal Waite, Waite being male and Zen being female. Not having either icantbe sure tho lol WIth Waite being Male and Londa being female I can definately see that line up too :) :THP

Thoth and Haindl seem to be 2 that I could marry together. Also I think the Diamond Tarot and Rider-Waite. I have looked at the I Am One (and ordered it!) but I am not too familiar with the Rohrig so can't comment. (hang on I think I just did lol) I have the Cagliostro Tarot and I am sure that the majors from that deck would work well with the minors from the Tarot of the Sphinx or some other such deck. (hey that's a good idea, I might check that out further)

My Rohrig and Thoth seem pretu compatible too!

Liliana	21 May 2002
Yeah Rohrig and Thoth bond well if the reader likes Thoth, I dont tho so my Rohrig prefers I Am One. Actually Thoth is kind of Rohrig's daddy, since Rohrig is based on the Thoth deck. :THP

My decks constantly ask me to buy velvet bags for them, or boxes, so why not another deck? I just ordered the "I Am One" deck, too. I wonder what color bag it will want... Sue

Liliana	22 May 2002
Maybe a red bag, Im not sure why I pick up red from it :) Of course I dont have it yet, it may say something totally differentin person :) :THP

Two of my older decks are one of those opposite couples that you wonder about: My Gypsy Fortune deck and and my medicine cards. The medicine cards reads people better, where the gypsy reads events better.

Liliana	22 May 2002
I have the Gypsy Witch Fortune telling deck too, my mom gave it to me. Dont do readings withit tho just think its fun to look at :THP
