Steele Wizard
Druidcraft
Animal Wise
Swedish Witch
Greenwood
Fournier
Halloween
Tarot of the Spirit
Songs for the Journey Home
Servants of the Light

Right, I don't think I can do this, lol. Well maybe like this:
My favourite decks of all time:

Druidcraft (high up on a place of its own)
Greenwood
Tarot of the Spirit

Fournier (because it is my favourite Marseille. And I have to have a Marseille)

Animal Wise (because it is an oddball deck that hardly anyone loves. I have a sentimental connection to it, and I love it)

After this, it becomes messy because there are too many to choose from. So I have five distinct all time favourites, and lots of other decks I love all for their own wonderful reasons, and they alternate.

YAY a thread where I can list that my beloved Cosmic Tribe at the top of *LOL*. OK these are the top 10 decks in my collection, that I have worked with and are my very favorites and have been for some time:

1. Cosmic Tribe - I have loved this deck for years, love how it reads and its energy. It will always be an all time favorite for me.
2. Golden Victorian Romantic - Aside from being beautiful, I have wonderful readings with this deck. This is another one that will never fall off this list.
3. Fey - another great reading deck for me. This was the first deck I had that did not have suit emblems on the cards, and really pushed me into reading more intuitively.
4. Fantastic Menagerie - this is a deck that every day grows on me more and more. The more time I spend with it the more I love it. I have been using it for over a year in study work and readings, and really love the way it reads.
5. Druid Craft - has the best courts to learn with in my opinion. Really helped me resolve issues of personalities of some courts.
6. Crowly Harris Thoth - I just love a good challenge, and love the structure of this deck. This is probably most favorite deck to study. There is always so much more to learn.
7. Fairytale Tarot - the deck has really expanded my view of tarot.
8. Magical Forest - this is my "Hammy" deck (as in Hammy from Over the Hedge Movie), I could just not part with it, it just tickles my heart.
9. Robin Wood - this was the deck I learned to read with, will always have a special place in my heart.
10. Tarot of the Old Path - the second deck I could read with. Along side the Robin Wood I used this deck for years, only to be put down when the Cosmic Tribe arrived and stole my heart.
Above is my list from 2008, for the most part I think it would remain the same but due to other decks I have gotten to know since then I need to bump my two sentimental favorites (Robin Wood and Tarot of the Old Path) and add two other decks to the list in their places:

9. Fifth Tarot - This deck has blown me away actually. This is my deck for spiritual and personal development. This is not a deck I will be using to do a lot of readings for others, but for myself and my own personal growth.

10. Deviant Moon - I got this deck for the art, but I really enjoy reading with this deck. There is a lot more to it than I thought, and though I originally though the deck would be a dark deck, I find that it is not dark at all.

Actually I think I will also bump the Thoth off my list and replace it with the Baroque Bohemian Cats. For one I use the BBC much more than I study the Thoth, and frankly I am obsessed with those cats in clothes! *LOL*.

not sure I posted a list back then, so here it is for now (and no particular order for 4 -10 I hasten to add - they all swap around in favour on a given day)

Tarot of Innocence
Deirdre of Sorrows
Bright Idea

Legacy of Divine
Rohrig
Book of Kaos
Osho Zen
Ship of Fools
Fantastic Menagerie
Slumberland (majors only)

The Fey sort of jumps in occasionally as well :)

It would be fun if our list was evaluated as a sort of personality profile...lol. Heck knows what mine would say

Don't even go there girl! after reading your post I looked at my list and my eyes rolled into the back of my head *LOL* ... you do not EVEN want to know what came to mind! *LOL*

(I also realized that The Pearls of Wisdom is not on that list, and that is a big problem ... apparently I cannot do just 10 decks anymore!)
