That's a very nice set up! I can't wait to see what you manage to do with a whole room...

I don't really have a reading space at the moment. I just have a cardboard box filled with decks (...which I sleep next to. I really love my decks.) and I do most of my readings on the other side of my bed. Most of my face to face readings - as rare as they are at the moment - happen around that person's coffee table, usually.

I really do love looking at everyone else's tarot environments. I used to have a nice one of my own. Maybe I can find some pictures...or get around to setting up a new one. It's such a hassle when you move all the time though!

What a beautiful, magical shrine TheOld! As Chara says, can't wait to see how you are going to decorate the whole room! :thumbsup:
Btw, love the fabric on the chair, it looks like some antiq wall tapestry.
 

Morwenna

To repeat what I said on the old thread, I don't have a special space set up; I read for myself on the bed (sometimes I even put a cloth down), and when I read for others, always away from home, I put up a table (at renfairs, SCA events, etc.) with a cloth or two and a few ornamental things that also serve as paperweights should a breeze come up. At conventions, when I'm carrying a few decks around just for the heck of it, any flat surface will serve, sometimes with a cloth down first especially if the surface is rough and likely to scratch the cards.

But the pics I've seen on the old thread are very tempting; maybe when I get this place dug out more I'll make myself a special space. No promises.

:shhh: Morwenna, mind that these threads are highly contagious! I made a similar post to yours some three years ago when i joined AT, yet little did i know... I admired other people's decorations - especially Heart Cricket's - and i started by small adjustments, adding a candle here and there... and ended up with re-decorating my home last summer! I do love it this way though the guest room turned to reading room which i hardly use because i still read in the living room which, with the Altar, the Faery shrine and many decks laying around on matching cloths, more and more resembles a reading room too! You were warned in time! :D

Deep Tarot

My own approach uses a wonderful antique box with a leather handle, a few decks (RWS, Deviant Moon, Marseilles), magical implements, the essence of rosemary,and bags and a reading cloth from our very own Sulis :)

I have also devised some nice tick sheets that are also notepads, so I have a way of capturing the essence of a reading and a memento for the querent.

Hey, not that I'd mind!! That'd have a lot more pizazz than stacks of cardboard boxes!! :D (Only if I got rid of all the boxes, where would the cats sleep? Not on my decks they don't!)
