Hi guys-- Just had one of those brain shorts that lead to interesting (at least I think interesting) thoughts. Have you ever played the game where you describe a person with just ONE word?? Well, let's switch it a bit... Some of your favorite decks (oracles too); if you had to describe them with one word, what would it be?? for me: the tao oracle-- wise the fey deck-- joyous Your turn... fly well raven

Marseilles -- classic Thoth -- deep RWS -- standard-bearer (Okay, it's two words, but "standard" alone would have sounded negative, and I mean this in a positive way.) Now for decks that I use regularly: Light & Shadow Tarot -- structural Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot -- animated World Spirit -- tribal Cosmic Tribe -- nekkid! ;) (Looking over my list, it sounds like I'm just describing how the decks look. But I'm not! That's how reading with them makes me feel, too. :) ) Peace, Melvis :TSTRE
