ooh, I like the look of that Fortune Teller's Deck! Hmph, it's 40 quid on amazon uk.

Not sure if these would make the best reading decks, but my gosh, I want them all!

oops...sorry!!

For those of you that mentioned and have the Keys to the Kingdom deck - how big are the cards? I just read somewhere that they are less than 2" x 2"....is that true?

Portable fortitude playing cards I think these might be interesting. They can also be used as talismans.

I REALLY love my Deck of Shadows.

I love the artwork (plus it has my favorite art of all time, the Flaming June), truly enjoy having the keywords on the cards and have always been a fan of good black and white decks. The keywords would probably turn some people off, but I am so new to using playing cards- I find that it helps me, for now. I will probably grumble a bit when I am more practiced- but for now it is my favorite set of cards.

If you like Transformation decks, this is one of my favorites:
http://www.carte-karuta.com/catalog/...roducts_id=147

and the Goethe one, already mentioned above:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GOETHE-Playi.../dp/888395419X
(although what these cards have to do with Goethe, I have no idea)

The La-Te-Da cards are whimsical, but might be good for readings:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LA-TE-DA-TRA...item19d0252cf1

and Il Meneghello has published two Transformations decks that are really great:
here's one:
http://www.arnellart.com/osvaldo/tar...taly-trans.htm
and this one is my favorite:
http://www.arnellart.com/osvaldo/tar...ench-trans.htm
(the website does not show any of the pip cards though, and they are the whole point of transformation decks).

and while not a transformation deck, I am fond of this deck of Greek Gods:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREEK-GODS-P...item19d025403c
(although the cards are in Greek, and I have not yet figured out what each card is)
