My least favorite popular deck is the "Guilded" I never got on with it. Goes to show its a personal taste thing as most everyone agrees this is a very good deck.

It seems I am going to have to remove two decks...let me think...

Okay... this is gonna be hard!
My desert island decks...

1. Greenwood Tarot - simply divine

2. Haindl Tarot - like a new deck after the borderectomy - gorgeous!

3. Light and Shadow Tarot - like a third arm

4. Shining Woman/Tribe Tarot - just beautiful, deep, searching the soul.

5. Vachetta Tarot (Del Solleone) - the star of my collection!

6. Druid Animal and Plant Oracles - I know, not tarots, but since I'm selling Wheel of Change, I couldn't very well leave it here!

7. La Corte dei Tarocchi - art for art's sake

8. Omaggio a Erte - just beauty!

9. Ironwing Tarot - a bit like that dangerous dude that you are *so* attracted to...

10. Ma'at Tarot - irreplaceable.

... which makes me wonder - what would happen if Shadowscapes and Mary-El turn into must-haves? I guess it would have to be a dozen decks, then.

... and now that I think about it - why am I keeping any of the others? Perhaps there should be another massive deck culling sale in the future?? })
What would it feel like, to own 10 decks, instead of 90? I'm thinking that it might feel really *clean*.

Sravana goes off to stuff every other deck in a box somewhere, just to see what it feels like.

ETA - well, I *am* selling off a huge number of decks here, right now! and it does feel really good. :)

Actually, I have indigestion! lol
And I haven't gotten up from the computer yet to begin stuffing decks in boxes. Come to think of it, I don't have a suitable box! :\

The wind is blowing outside like a MF - spring has sprung - it's all from the South, heavy, wet - and will be producing thunderstorms very soon. I guess it's time to get my @$$ out of this chair and walk the dog before I can't (she's a medium-sized poodle, and at 18 lbs, I don't want her to blow away!)

Well... after giving this quite a bit of consideration, I will list my 2 'Top Ten Decks of All Time' because they are the only ones I read with... Hence, if all my decks were to be lost to me, these would be the first ones I would replace... (I included 'PsyCards', but did not count them, as they are an Oracle deck... but still, I would replace them before replacing anything listed below them)...

1. Universal Waite
2. Hermetic
(2 a. PsyCards)



Alas, trying to narrow-down my 'Top Ten Decks of All Time' to include only 8 more is quite impossible... There are only 4 I actually own that I would include in this list...

3. All Hallows Kick-Ass Gold
4. Bohemian Gothic Silver
5. Tarot Whispers at the House of Dusk
6. Victoria Regina



The rest of my personal 'Top Ten' I have yet to acquire, *lol*... As I attain them, I will come back and add to the list, *s*... However, let it be known, right here and right now, that I state EMPHATICALLY that 'Ten' is not enough for a 'Top' tarot-anything list!!! :p:p:p

p.s. Where's the 'Top Ten Oracles of All Time' list???


eta: Hmmm... have just been informed that this is supposed to be a 'Top Ten' of decks that we own... In that case, here are the rest:

7. Ansata
8. Druidcraft
9. Housewives
10. Wannabe
