Umm... I'd have to say the mermaid tarot. Not only because of beauty but because of beauty. Also if you are looking for other decks that are good but don't make you go "weak at the knees" I'd recommend the new vision tarot and the fairy oracle. Not sure if you collect oracle cards or not but I like the imagery. I wouldn't get it personnaly because I don't like the set up of the cards but I like the goddess oracle too.

Hi peace_pixie
It's the Druidcraft for me. First time I found the link on Amazon, got the deepest positive feeling ever, which is hard to describe, but best I can do is say that it felt as if something far back in time was spanning across to now, that there was deep magic in it. Probably sounds a bit unusual, but it made me certain that the Druidcraft was for me, and that it would work very deeply and positively. Never reacted to any tarot pack, or anything else, like that, and since getting the Druidcraft a month ago, it's doing as I'd felt it would. And it's really beautiful!

I would say the DruidCraft as well. Astonishing deck. Also Tarot of Prague and Navigators Tarot of the Mystic SEA. Both entrancing decks.

Yep, have to agree with Marion and wellspring... Druidcraft it is. My mind hasn't even wanted to wander to another deck and I haven't felt like reading with my other ones since I've gotten it.
I'm in luff.

I took a look at your collection Peace Pixie and I think the MerryDay would probably fit well with the other's you've got right now. Also the Waking the Wild Spirit deck would probably bea t home with your current collection.
If you were thinking of trying a new direction you might consider going with something little more stark and esoteric. The Thoth maybe?
If you like that Mythic deck you might enjoy the Tarot of the Renaissance (the Brian Williams one). Your knowledge of the mythic will be a nice foundation for you to explore the nuances of the use of the classical pantheon and Renaissance architecture.

and I have looked at the Fairy Pack many times, but just did not pick it up....maybe I will soon...
The ethereal style of that beautiful oracle reminds me of Lisa Hunt's Spiral Tarot, Celtic Dragon and the upcoming Animals Divine.
I believe Tarotgarden.com and Lisa Hunt's website shows samples.

At first glance on the link, the faces look similar in a good way to the artist's photo...but I think the misty style of the art is hard to see. In the Shapeshifter Tarot, there's a morphing of animal/plant shapes and a soft focus that you can see in the electronic free web oracle at the llewellyn site.
Here's samples of the Celtic Dragon and the Shapeshifter

An upcoming Lo Scarabeo tarot called the Harmonious Tarot looks very pretty. While the new Tarot of 1001 Nights is amazingly beautiful to me, I have to do quite a bit of reading on the tales still..the Leon Carre illustrations of the various tales are not really explained in the deck.
Best regards! Hope some of the ideas help.

Definitely my Faeries' Oracle deck, which strangely enough I was not sure about when I ordered it. I adore it now. It's completely unlike any of my others, really quite unique. It is also the most magical of all my decks, the most freeing, the most fun and playful, and has in the very short time I have had it taught me so much about life and challenged many viewpoints I've had for decades and that needed some challenge. :-) And is changing me in such positive ways already.
I adore it AND I adore the faeries.:-)
