Mine is Death and the Devil.

The Empress, because it's my personality and soul card. And the High Priestess. I don't know exactly why, but I'm drawn to this card.

My favorite is the Empress too as it`s my soul card. I`m also really drawn to the High Priestess and the Moon. Blessings Julie xx

Mine is Strength. It's my motto in life. Or something. Although, in the cards I designed I like my Devil best, probably because he's entirely mine (didn't borrow anyone else's ideas).

'The Tower'. It's not the card I like the most, or relate to the most, but it is the card which I have had the most difficulty confronting and understanding. I feel that due to this it is the card which has had the most influence on the way I view myself, society and the direction I am heading.

My favourite is the Hierophant. It is my personality & soul card. I am a teacher and love learning. Also my Sun is in Sagittarius so this fits in well. I also feel quite drawn to The Moon.

:TFOOL I am a big fan of the Fool, both in design and the idea behind it. The Fool said it before Nike: Just Do It! :D

I am a big fan of Strength. I have my sun in Leo, but aside from that, I often find that I need a lot of strength! I have a little pendant of this card that I find myself wearing a lot. :) Kes

My favourite card is the Star...in the DeBurgh Celtic Tarot, a young man is depicted making his way through the hills at night along a lonely path, the sky a midnight blue except for one bright yellow star guiding him toward his destiny. I like to think I'm that young man. C.

My favorite card is the Tower

Maan	23 Sep 2002
The empress and the star!

the High Priestess, Temperance, and the Wheel of Fortune

Jewel	23 Sep 2002
I used to think it was the HP and The Moon. But now I think it really varies with which deck I am using.

Lady Anna	23 Sep 2002
My favorite cards are the High Priestess & Temperance, but I'm a big fan of the Strength & the Star...!!! And also the Tower and the Lovers....!!!... Love, Analisa :THP

I really like the High Priestess, the Star and Strength.

Oddly, I've never really thought all so much about "favourite" cards among the Trumps. When I'm looking at a deck, though, the first cards I want to see are usually: Fool Lovers Wheel of Fortune Death Moon Judgment If I feel at home with those cards, odds are I will feel at home with a deck. I suppose that makes these my favourites.

Quote: Originally posted by Diana I like our friend The Devil. *singing* "A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine..." Gosh my favorite changes all the time - it's usually the most recent major arcana card I designed for Major Tom's tarot which is currently the Wheel of Fortune. Like my friend Kayne though I must admit I have an enduring fondness for the Fool. *singing* "The Devil met me there, stole my $20 bill and vanished in the air..."

The High Priestess :) The one in the Kalevala deck really drew me to it - I think it was at least in part due to the story behind the character in the picture, though the painting itself attracted me too :) - LittleCub

I would say the Fool is my fav followed by The Lovers:* Seb

:TSTAR is my favorite card. Tied for 2nd place are :TMOON and :THP. :TSTAR Starfish

VGimlet	24 Sep 2002
The moon has always been my favorite. The mystery of it, and the idea of walking between the light and the dark, known and unknown, civilized and not. Runners up would be the star, and the fool. :)

Tor	24 Sep 2002
I like so many of them......but if I'd have to pick a favouirite, it will be The Moon. I also like The Magician and Judgement. And of course The Hermit which is my soulcard, and The High Priestess which is a important card for my karmic journey.

evangelion	24 Sep 2002
Mine would have to be the XVIII The Moon, I see it so often in my readings and I like the way it speaks to me. I've always been drawn to this card though for some reason.

Angeline	24 Sep 2002
I just love the Star....i can sit for hours just looking at it. Angeline x

Yogi Cat	24 Sep 2002
I like The Hermit because it is my card being a 27/9 and I also like The Moon

nina	24 Sep 2002
Hello, how can I pick a favorite? I feel the most intrigued by The Moon card, but I also like The Lovers in its more traditional depiction of a man being forced to make a choice. this card doesn't speak to me about romantic involvement so much as the point where you to commit or let go forever in any aspect of your life. The Wheel of Fortune is also one of my favorites- oh, and I can't forget The Tower. Okay, I guess I'm saying I can't pick a favorite. -Nina
