Alright, so now, what's your ALL TIME favorite card? I don't mean the card that is your sould card, I mean which card do you think is the very finest in terms of artwork and imagery. I myself will have to search to decide on this.

My all time favourite is the Empress from the Spiral tarot. The colours are bright, and nicely drawn, you really get the message of the Mother from it, its also one of those cards that you see something different each time you look at it :)

I followed the link someone posted yesterday, to the 22 majors-spreads, and surfed around that website - and look what I found: http://home.mindspring.com/~ariadne1/oldtarot.html These are probably the most beautiful cards I've ever seen, and I can't believe someone of that talent would just stop making cards...! But apparently she has and those 4 cards are all we're gonna get. Am seriously thinking of getting prints of at least the Star and the Moon cards, though... When it comes to actual, complete and published decks, I don't have an all time favourite, it changes all the time. I love the World Spirit Temperance, the Buckland Romani World and the Robin Wood Aces. I also got the Mountain Dream deck after seeing only the Star-card, but only to find that card is the only one I really like...! The Cosmic Tribe is next on my list (of decks to buy), and has two of my favourite cards of all decks: the Empress and the Hermit. Jenny :)

i'm nuts about the tarot nova chariot. it's a bicycle! there's so much joy and speed and motion in the card. i'm gonna blow it up and put it on the milk crate on the back of my bike. :)

I think that my favorite card is the High Priestess. I don't know why though.

RedWood	12 Jul 2002
Wow..to bad that person didnt finish..i would get that deck..i like them all..specially the moon and star..!

mondk	12 Jul 2002
Would have to be...The Hanged Man...from the Ancestral Path tarot. It is a fetus inside its placenta suspended half-upside down. I don't have that deck, but I do so love that particular card. Blessings, M.

There are a few from the Nigel Jackson deck that strike just the right chords with me: the 3 and 10 of swords, the 3 of staves, the 6 of coins and the 7 of cups. The Vertigo's Death card is brilliant, as is the Rock & Roll Tarot's. And then there's the Hello Kitty Death card, but that may just be my sick sense of humor . . .

Well in general I love High Priestess cards, nit just because they are my soul card I just do :) But a specific card, right now Im leaning toward World Spirit Death card. I love all the little detail in it, and the phoenix is awesome. I also love the Princesses in the Spiral and the Aces in the Mary-El There will probably be a few from the Ananda that will make the list when it gets here :) And I love everything in the Rohrig for art sake, except maybe the floating breasts lol :THP

The High Preistess in the Cosmic Tarot, can be seen at http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cosmic/index.html I also find many images from the Rohrig Tarot to be incredible. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/rohrig/index.html The Hermit is an awesome card. Divinerguy

Right now, and it just might be new deck fever, but the death card from the Hallowe'en tarot is my favourite. It grabbed me the second I saw it.

Jewel	15 Jul 2002
One card only? ohhhh that sounds unfair! *LOL*. Well in that case I will say the Magician from the Robin Wood (and emergence from the Cosmic Tribe, and the Empress from both the Cosmic Tribe and Gill, and Death in the Dragon Tarot ... I knew I would not be able to just put one *LOL*). Just too many beautiful cards out there.

Quote: Originally posted by Jewel emergence from the Cosmic Tribe I was about to say that!!! :P Now... I wouldn't be the Kayne you know and love if I didn't put forward a Cosmic Tribe card now would I? :D Emergence

the hermit	16 Jul 2002
Well... ok since it can't be my soul card... Seriously (yeh, I know... don't even think about sayin' it!) I'd have to say that artistically, the one card that speaks to me the most would be the Greenman from the Greenwood deck. It just really speaks to the pagan in me. I don't own the deck, not sure I'd read with it if I did... the traditionalist in me doesn't like change (Virgo-ism I guess). But the image draws me whenever I see it. I'll probably get the deck just to have it and so I can scan the Greenman and hang him on my wall. Greenman

For the time being, my fav is the High Priestness in Robin Wood deck. I feel the calmness, the grace and the hidden wisdom when I look at the card. Carol

Starfish	16 Jul 2002
Hmmm.... Only one? decisions, decisions... I guess then it would be The Star :TSTAR from the Robin Wood deck. One of the prettiest nekkid chick Stars I've seen. :T4S Starfish

Jewel	16 Jul 2002
Kayne, you and I could probably list sooo many cards from that deck (i.e. Cosmic Tribe Prince of Disks with the face emerging from the earth) *LOL* I am so glad I have you to share my love for the CT with :) Hermit, if you find a Greenwood buy it! It is OOP. The deck is lovely and many of the cards speak to my pagan side. I find the deck quite spiritual. You don't necesarily have to use it for reading ;)

the death card from the new palladini:second card in the first row.
